Mick Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Somebody has had an idea, they think we, as fans, should do something for Sir Bobby and I agree. They were looking for a mug to get something started and it would appear that I was the first option. Are you interested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could help with the organisation, I've already contacted one person for help, I'm not naming who just yet but if this person comes through then we're off to a great start. This has to be fully inclusive, not just Newcastle-Online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 We could do with as many people as possible knowing about this, if people use other forums then they could try to do something on those forums. It would be good if one person co-ordinated on each forum rather than forcing people to come here who may not want to for whatever reason. That would also help to make it appear that it was everybody doing something, which they would be anyway. It would also be good it we came up with a list of who to contact then spread it out so people don't get hassled by too many people, we've got to get this right.

Minhosa Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think it would be nice to have something that acts as a long lasting reminder of his contribution to NUFC and football in general. Not something as predictable as a Statue. Maybe a campaign to name a stand after him or something? Oh, and count me in for both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm sure if we let Mort know, he'd be up for something like this. Possibly we could raise money for a cancer charity? It'd be good PR for the club as well as saying thanks and paying tribute to SBR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Like a match involving players Robson has managed at his various clubs/country; Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Alan Shearer, Rivaldo, Paul Gascoigne, Peter Beardsley, Romario, Phillip Cocu and others. I will drop the names I have put in bold a text tonight or leave a message on there Facebook accounts. Can someone contact Cocu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The East Stand Yeah - thats what I was thinking TBH but didn't want to offend any 'East Stand Lifers' who may have had season tickets there for years! I'm not being funny, but after seeing him last night (which was bloody heartbreaking btw), it's clear he hasn't got long left and something like organising a match with many of his previous players may take too long to organise.

Mick Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 How many stands has Wembley got without names? We could do something like ask the club and the FA if we can raise a certain amount for charity in Sir Bobby's name would they name a stand after him.

robbo_11 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Do you not think this is all going a little too fast? 35 minutes and so many different discussions points. If your going to contact the club, why not wait and see if we can come up with a decent proposal to put towards the club rather than an e-mail.

midds Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm liking the Robson Stand idea. It's got a nice ring to it. "The Milburn, the Gallowgate, the Leazes and the Robson." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a nice ring to it, I also like the charity idea as it would mean we were doing something to get it done, it wouldn't just be from the club. Maybe the club could say that they'll do it if we raise £xxxx. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm more than happy to help and donate. The stand idea is brilliant, and it's achievable. Howay the lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 "The Sir Bobby Robson Stand" Have a game involving the greats he managed to open the new stand :parky: Maybe contact the Evening Chronicle, they seemed to handle the Local Hero situation respectably and the club mentioned they would be willing to listen to further enquiries.
