Guest johnson293 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 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.

QBG Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
