For all you good people on here, a question with regard to renaming the South Africa Road stand a couple of us were chatting this weekend, and came around to what about the club naming the stand The Jim Gregory Stand.as the older fans on here will remember that uncle Jim as he was known , built this club from a small humble club to almost winning the League Title in about 20 years (I know it seems a long time now, when some teams have had billions pumped into them with success coming relatively quick) but football wasn't like that back in the 60's, The money all came from his own pockets. and who knows what would've happened had Jim not ploughed Millions into our great club, especially for the older ones who will remember what Jim did for the R's It would be fitting as Jim built that stand as we were promoted into Division 1 in the first time in our history 1968/69 season, to bring some sort of modernization to the club, as it was then, A lot of other clubs have statues of Legendry Managers,players & Owners, around their grounds and it may also be great to name some of the other parts of the ground also.And who knows should we move in the future a new ground which would probably have some sort of naming rights, but a few of us really feel for the time being while we are at Loftus Rd and remember it was him that rebuilt all 4 stands there this would be a great tribute to the man who started the real history of our great club when he took over in 1965 as chairman
Any Thoughts please
