Fletch looked as though he was gonna start blubbing 
Call me a cynic, but does anyone else think that the renaming of the North Stand paves the way for the (commercial) renaming of the East and South Stands?
I'm surprised we've gone this long without doing it.

Surely the South Stand has to be the Busby Stand. Then the Stretford End should be finally christened properly. None of this West Stand bollocks.
Leave the East for when Solskjaer takes over.
Surely the East Stand is for Giggs once he gets his Knighthood. How fecking cool would it to have 3 stands named after knights of the realm.
Now that's a fair point.
When I suggested leaving the end of the grounds names as they were before I did so, as we already have one named, and I ask this politely and not wishing to sound anti Giggs, but why should it be Giggs who gets his name on a stand, why not Sir Bobby? You see that's the arguement we'd end up with. That's why the South Stand should be the SMB stand, and the other two should be left as they are as such.
Well can we just have the Stretty properly named and to solve any arguments officially name the East the Scoreboard End.
Hey I'm not fussed, Busby should definitely have one I agree. I'd just be delighted if Giggsy got a knighthood.
that's why he's known as silly Gilly
They should name the feckin city after him (Fergie not Gilly) but there are too many moustache toting bitter Berties at the town hall
Fantastic!
Well deserved for the great man.

That's a given cause all of Manchester is Citeh
you wanna see Stockport then - full ofthe bastards
A very nice gesture from the club, he deserves it, he's a legend.
In my time as a United supporter and as a member of this forum for over ten years, many people have doubted him and called for his sacking. These people know who they are and should hang their heads in shame!

Felt a tug on my heartstrings watching that footage of them unveiling the stand. Well done The Ferg!
Simply the best. Great gesture by the club. He surely deserves the biggest stand. It will certainly be odd when he steps down. I was just born when he just finished his first season at the club. All my life I haven't seen anyone else on the bench for United. That statue was a must as well. Glad he's been shown this appreciation when he's still our manager.
Really great touch by the club and thoroughly deserved.
Sack Fergie, raze the Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
I am wondering the same.
Got emotional watching that and along with the win it made my birthday weekend dispite the untimely passing of my cat on my birthday. Poor boy.
Bad luck mate... maybe they'll name the South Stand after him if you ask. What was he called?
Whys everyone saying they should rename the other stands? That would totally take away from what they've just done. Never before in the history of Old Trafford had a stand been named after an individual so I was shocked when they gave one to Fergie and that should be THE one now. Why devalue its uniqueness?
The only way United should ever name a stand after a person again is if they're no longer playing at Old Trafford.

It's still officially the West Stand.
Yeah, but what about giggs-beckham's cat?
Because it's the bloody compass reading and makes most sense.
It's got STRETFORD END plastered all over it, it's the stretford end.
Any mention of where a statue of Fergie would be?
Other than the jokes of it being in the referee changing room...

Do you check your compass to see which stand to go to?
Nope, but it certainly helps any visitors reading a map.
Calm down you tart.
I doesn't make a jot of difference, you're talking utter arse. It should just be the Stretford End, end of.
Exactly. It should be awarded its proper title.
Actually, I'm talking facts, you're talking opinion.
It's got Stretford End in massive fecking letters on it you "tarts".
I maintain we should call it Foil Wrapped Butlins Turkey Experience.
But then I say that about everything.

It's not OFFICIAL. Give the stands their proper title. I assume SAF's one will be updated tomorrow.
feck this "West Stand" shit.
