Ipswich/Toon should have a cracking Atmosphere like.

 

Aye - nice touch to officially name/open it on the date of our match down there.

 

If Ipswich have named a stand after him, then I think renaming our academy after him would be fitting, and appropriate given his history of finding young talented players as a manager.

Sir Bobby Gets a Stand named after him, At Ipswich

 

IPSWICH TO NAME STAND FOR ROBSON

Ipswich are to rename a stand at their Portman Road ground in honour of former manager Sir Bobby Robson.

Ex-England boss Robson, who won the FA Cup and UEFA Cup in a 13-year spell in charge of the Tractor Boys, died last month aged 76.

Town chief executive Simon Clegg today revealed plans to rename the North Stand after him.

“We’ve considered all of the suggestions that we have received from many different sources for another permanent memorial at Portman Road to the greatest manager this club has had but above all, the thoughts of the fans,” said Clegg.

“The overwhelming majority wanted the Sir Bobby Robson Stand and with the North Stand being seen as the heart of the club and of the fan base, the fans feel this is the right stand to be renamed.”

It is hoped the official unveiling of the stand will take place before kick-off at Ipswich’s game with Newcastle on September 26.

 

Great gesture. He was their best ever manager so it makes sense.

Aye but its what we should have done before now.

Thing is there are other people in our history who should equally be recognised. I reckon naming the academy after him would be a much better tribute.

Really hope efforts are made to beam this back to SJP, it would be full

 

Strongly disagree, a funeral should be a private affair.

There have been (and will still be) plenty of oportunities for public grief and celebrations of his life.

 

His funeral was a private, family affair and has already been held. This is a celebration of his life, not a funeral.

The service on 21 September will be limited to family, close friends and football personalities.

 

Doesn't look like it will be, I thought something was meant to be happening for the fans to pay there own respects.

Sorry ianovthetoon, not one for these public shows of emotion and just jumped in there without thinking (or reading). :-[

The BBC have reissued Just Call Me Bobby. Loads of copies for £3.99 in Morrisons Leeds so I'd imagine it is going to be a pretty wide rerelease. Must be worth owning a hard copy as opposed to a VHS recording or something else if you haven't already got one :)
