THE JOCK MCDONALD STAND

STORY LINK

A worthy tribute to a great, if sometimes idiosyncratic, football man.

A very fitting tribute and a great idea.

Glad to see they took my suggestion on board

In all seriousness though, I think this is very fitting.

Whats the current name of the main stand ?

Bert.

Whats the current name of the main stand ?

The Ostrich Stand, because its wings are pretty useless? And it's also played host to some "head in the sand" mentality.

Scottish television's line is that Sutherland says that the supporters wholeheartedly back the proposal.

What are your thoughts -

Is it a fitting tribute?

Planning permission for the name change??? Can they no just change it like that....

Aye, I know. On what grounds would they not be given planning permission?!

it a great tribute!

Quality.... :018: ;)

Great tribute for Jock....I applaud their decission :thumb04:

stv were writing about it today on their site.

saying that, it can't go ahead with planning permission - apparently!

Cant see them needing planning permission to name the stand .... more likely to be because of a big sign that will go up with the name of the stand on it

fitting tribute!

I suggested that before !!

Good Tribute!!

His chair in the VIP section is still there.

Is that going to remain there as a tribute aswell

but good choice about the main stand naming.

We should name the whole of our north stand.

Well i doubt the club will remove his chair. Someone else will prob get it

Is the family section named something?? Kevin.....

I ment the name tag on his chair, and its just the family section named the kevin bisset family enclosure

So the main stand in now the Jock McDonald stand, the family enclosure within the North Stand (not the whole stand) is called the Kevin Bissett Family Enclosure.

I would personally like to see the complete North Stand named for Norman Miller and maybe reserve the naming of the South Stand and any future west stand (unlikely I know) for other prominent people who have had a huge impact on ICT history (eg. DFS in some far distant time in the future). We only have 3 stands and a maximum of 4 so we have to be careful not to let sentiment get in the way but without JM and NM we might not have got as far as we have so far.

exactly what i said :018: :thumb04:

I'm not one for naming stands after people (what happens when you run out and the next "fitting" person passes?), and it also does away with the possibility of generating revenue through sponsorship....however, if it's to be named then I doubt many would argue with it being done to mark the contribution of Jock McDonald.

Eddie Thomson and Phil O'Donnell both got stands named after them
