Rename the Lakeside Bar?

[silent majority]

Well if the stadium is going to be ours we may as well get in nice and early and start to make the changes we all want to see. So, lets start with your suggestions for the Lakeside, I'll start it off and once we get a significant number lets run a poll and tell the club what we would like to see.

The Belle Vue Bar.

I suppose you could do this with the restaurant as well, or name every executive box after a Rovers legend, or for that matter any other area of the stadium.


I`ll go for the obvious one, Alick Jeffrey Bar/Restaurant

[inSODwetrust]

10/3/03 bar?

[keyser_soze]

Don't we already have Alick Jeffrey way around the stadium?

I would have thought the obvious one would be The Colin Douglas Bar!

[burton_1989]

The James Hayter bar

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Personally I like the Cross Bar, but that's not really very Rovers is it?

I'd still go for the obvious and go on the old pub style name - ie the Sir Francis Tierney.

[DannyRovers]

The Reds Bar 

[Mr1Croft]

I like the sound of Belle Vue Bar

[jucyberry]

How about The Harry Gregg?

[keyser_soze]

I like the sound of Belle Vue Bar

Definitely Belle Vue Bar.

[Spike]

How about get a sponsors name on there to make a few quid for the club

[DannyRovers]

I must admit The Belle Vue Bar does sound the best so far.

[Bentley Bullet]

Solace inn

[Bentley Bullet]

Jolly Rover

[Drover]

We had a poll on here before and Belle vue Bar won it then,The SMC had their opionion then too.
There's some good name suggestions there,The Cross bar is a great name for a sports bar,but like you say BFYP,it's not very Rovers,and to help stamp our own mark on the stadium since the takeover,My vote goes to Belle vue bar again.

[Arsenal Of The North]

The wild rover bar.

[Dagenham Rover]

Belle Vue Bar   or Jolly Rover are my favourites so far  Belle Vue Bar probably just tips it

[djoftherovers1]

if the stadium is ours can we rename that ?? the keepmoat has never been alot of peoples ideal name. or are we in a sponsored contract from them

[donnyroversfc]

Belle Vue bar is easily the best suggestion so far! Don't think you'll beat that name either tbh.

[whisky]

There will soon be a generation of Rovers fans who have no memories of Belle Vue. It has to be Belle Vue Bar for this reason. Fill the place with Belle Vue memorabilia.

[Drover]

Just a thought,why not use the best of the rest of the names suggested for individully naming the food kiosks?The cross bar,The Jolly rover and  The Harry gregg etc in say,the West stand and The reds bar,The wild rover etc in the South stand and so on?

[neil grainger]

Drover, you just beat me to it!

I've been racking my brains all morning to remember which stadium I visited years ago which had every bar / food outlet in the concourses named after club 'legends'.
There were big photos of the relevant person above their particular bar / outlet.
I can't remember where it was now but I thought what a great idea it was.

We should do the same at the KM. The idea about naming exec boxes in the same way is also a good one.
That way, we can include plenty of names.

There's the added advantage of being able to tell your mates: "meet you at the Harry Gregg bar in the West Stand"!

And by the way, "Belle Vue Bar" gets my vote for the Lakeside.

Rovers Return.

[ditch_drfc]

I was talking to my dad about this the other day. I said to him I wondered why it was never named Belle Vue Bar. So it's odd that this has come up now... Belle Vue Bar for me!

[drfcsteve]

We sold the naming rights to the stadium and the council has allegedly already spent a lot of the money gained from the deal.

[The Dav]

The Rovers Return !

[mutleyrover]

Belle Vue Bar, Wild Rover and the Rovers Return all great suggestions.

[donnyroversfc]

If it gets renamed 'Rovers Return' can we get Tina (Michelle Keegan) to open it up please?   

Great idea by Drover too, just to add to it, we could have 'Barnesy's Burgers' or something similar 

[Filo]

There will soon be a generation of Rovers fans who have no memories of Belle Vue. It has to be Belle Vue Bar for this reason. Fill the place with Belle Vue memorabilia.

great idea, take the urinals out of the bogs, just have a concrete wall with a trough but no drainage, and knock the ceiling out and you`ve recreated the old bogs on the popside

Not a club stadium but they have that at Wembley I'm sure of it.  I also think this is a great idea.  Brand it above with some iconic pictures and a bit of facts such as appearances, goals, major facts about them.  Be quite a good thing to have and to make it a bit more Rovers.

Belle Vue is a good option with some memorabilia pictures up etc and perhaps a timeline around the roof coving of all the major bits of history both good and bad.
