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
-
10/3/03 bar?
-
Don't we already have Alick Jeffrey way around the stadium?
I would have thought the obvious one would be The Colin Douglas Bar!
-
The James Hayter bar
-
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.
-
The Reds Bar :coat:
-
I like the sound of Belle Vue Bar
-
How about The Harry Gregg?
-
I like the sound of Belle Vue Bar
Definitely Belle Vue Bar.
-
How about get a sponsors name on there to make a few quid for the club
-
I must admit The Belle Vue Bar does sound the best so far.
-
Solace inn
-
Jolly Rover
-
We had a poll on here before and Belle vue Bar won it then,The SMC had their opionion then too. :thumbdown:
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.
-
The wild rover bar.
-
Belle Vue Bar or Jolly Rover are my favourites so far Belle Vue Bar probably just tips it
-
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
-
Belle Vue bar is easily the best suggestion so far! Don't think you'll beat that name either tbh.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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!
-

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 Rovers Return !
-
Belle Vue Bar, Wild Rover and the Rovers Return all great suggestions.
-
If it gets renamed 'Rovers Return' can we get Tina (Michelle Keegan) to open it up please? :blush:
Great idea by Drover too, just to add to it, we could have 'Barnesy's Burgers' or something similar :thumbsup:

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.
-
I like having something called Lakeside, that is where we play after all. I wanted the stadium to be called the Lakeside Stadium until we sold the rights for sponsorship.
Although I do like donnyroversfc's idea of getting Michelle Keegan down for all our home games. That'd be terrific.
-
Belle Vue Bar.
It would be great to change from lakeside as there has been confusion amongst some of us when saying meet at lakeside as to which one was meant, the other one being the beefeater place.
The Sir Francis Tierney sounds great as a potential Weatherspoons.
-
Franny and Penney's :chair:

I always fancied 'The Black Bank Stadium' as a name for the stadium.
-
I must confess I did like the sound of the Lakeside Stadium.
As for the Belle Vue bar any chance of recreating a smaller Pop Stand outside as a smoking shelter, steps an all?
-
re name it belle vue again and as for the bar it has to be o'driscolls bar

Exactly Neil,I was going to mention that too.

Can someone update me on the poll results?For some reason,since the site had it's revamp,I can
vote on polls,but when Im on the thread with the poll results,the poll results have the relevant info missing .
It tells me "The Lakeside Bar should be renamed the.. " then a blank space,and then "total members voted: 18".
Cheers in advance.

Thanks donnyroversfc.Looks like it's goner be a landslide.
-

As much as I admired what he did for us and wish he was still here, NO. He only wanted a cup of tea after beating Leeds.
Sean O'Driscoll's Tea and Coffee room.
-
Something needs to be named "hayter's header".
-
Saunders Inn? :chair: :laugh:
-

Says what exactly?
The poll was added to this thread only when we had received a significant number of options.
-
Although liking (and have voted for) Belle Vue Bar, might have liked Deja Vue Bar
-
There's some cracking suggestions, but for longevity and in with so many generations still with fond memories of the old place, Belle Vue Bar for me.
-
THE ROVERS RETURN. To League 1
-
Viking Bar?
-
Belle vue bar for me.
Also like barnes'y burgers, sod's tea stand and of course Harry- Greggs for pies and sausage rolls!
-
Veni Vedi Vici
-
The Lucky Pint!
-
I like the idea of Michelle Keegan opening the Rovers Return. As i was first to suggest that name,do i win her for the day and night as well or is that being greedy.
-
How about homage to the guy that got us into this mess ....
Philsky Barred
-
It can only be belle vue bar.
The old girl deserves it.
-
Why not name a combo meal deal 'Hayters Header' and sell a special edition cocktail beverage 'Miller's Punch'? (see how many of you get the ref!)
If there's any ridiculously priced meals can we name it the Justin Jackson 'special'?
-

Its Leicester City that do that
My suggestion is Tierneys
-
The Ryan Bar.
-
Over 50's fans will remember Mrs Teals humbugs that were sold outside Belle Vue at games up to the 60's. In remembrance of this why don't we for once in our lives do something original and call it 'Bar Humbug'?
-
Saunders Inn? :chair: :laugh:
Ironic when you consider quite a few fans seem to spout the exact opposite (Saunders Out!!)
For me it's got to be Belle-Vue bar. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love the idea of naming pubs etc... After club legends, it always screams something off Phoenix Nights
I.e.
"Where shall we put this replica Conference Trophy memorabilia"??
... "oh just stick it in the Francis Tierney suite!!"
-
Perhaps something to remind us where we came from to be in a position to have a bar to name... Moncreiffe's not an option?
In all seriousness though, Belle Vue bar gets my vote.
-
JR Bar?
-
What about BARlington to commemorate our record 10-0 victory
OK Belle Vue Bar and decorate it with suitable memorabolia

We've already discussed the memorabilia with the club, the VSC does have quite a few bits and pieces which will be going in there.

Brabins

JR Bar?
or could go down a more exotic route - Bar JR B)
-
The Cross Bar. ;)

Great idea by Drover too, just to add to it, we could have 'Barnesy's Burgers' or something similar :thumbsup:
So you like your Burgers to be falling to the floor and rolling around a lot then ?

:lol: i prefer them to be in a bun, but yes, considering the name of them... It would seem quite apt :lol:

Thanks for your non-contribution!
Totally irrelevant to my post. If you want to give all your money to DRFC I suggest you cut out the middle man and send them a cheque each month. Personally I'm more interested in the the members of the VSC.

Don't get worked up about Norfolk SM, he's not worth the wasted energy.

This is from the man who thinks the fans are to blame for relegation, yet he doesn't care about trying to make Rovers a better experience...

Rovers Return.
What? :aok:
