Title: Naming the Popular Side
Post by: Leeds Leeds Alty on August 04, 2020, 12:46:05 PM

The Popular side is the largest end of terracing in the ground and I believe much of the extra capacity that has been signed off in the ground can be attributed to the Pop side, which up to now has had the same capacity as the Golf Road officially, I understand.

I think the name is far too generic and I think we have an opportunity to name it officially - perhaps running a competition.

I favour the following -

THE GEORGE HESLOP TERRACE

George (RIP) did more for the club over a longer period of time than anyone alive or dead, and is more than a legend - in my book he was the Father of the club.  We will never see his like again and I think marking his passing with a permanent tribute like this is absolutely fitting for the great man. 

Any thoughts peeps?
