      I don't see how people can name stands Shankly and Paisley yet leave out Fagan. Smokin' Joe was a true great for this club and had the disaster of 85 not happened he'd of been as (if not more) successful as our true greats.

      Also what about the players who've made this club great, yet have sadly gone to a better place. The likes of Billy Liddell, Elisha Scott, Gordon Hodgson, Alex Raisbeck, Jack Balmer, Billy Dunlop, Phil Taylor (also manager) Matt McQueen (also manager) Emlyn Hughes, Arthur Goddard, Emphraim Longworth and so on. Do they not deserve a stand named after them? This is why I can't take to the idea of namin the new stands after indiviuals, there's too many greats associated with this club who all have valid arguements to havin a stand named after them.

      As for namin a stand "Hillsborough" that just doesn't make sense to me. Hillsborough is a ground, not a stand, where unfortunately 96 of our fans lost their lives and plenty of others were injured (physically an mentally) and namin a stand after somethin like that looks like we're tryin to gloryfy it. The memorial which has to go to the new stadium, is enough to remind every single fan that enters Anfield of what happened.

      What about Legends Stand (for all the reds legends), memorial stand (hillsborough and heysel) and anfield stand( in honour of anfield)

      I think it'll be renamed into something like the Legendary Kop or something like that. Bringing together both players and fans a like into the one stand. It used to be the Spion Kop, so having the "something" Kop isn't new to the club.

      Memorial stand is a decent enough idea but we've never done it before, with owners who know a whole lot more about the club than our current ones, so I don't think we'll be naming a stand after it now. The Hillsborough memorial will certainly go to the new stadium if and when it's built.

      And Anfield stand? Again seems a good idea, but won't the ground be Anfield anyway? Bit unlikely we'll have a stand and ground sharing the same name.

      What about The Kenny Dalglish, Bill Shankly & 96 Kop in memorial to the hillsborough victims, it cant be easy for the families to even say the word Hillsborough.

      Memorial Stand (in which it remembers Heysel and Hillsborough, and has 96 seats in shape of 96 in white left forever.)-rest of seats red
      Kop End
      Sponsors Stand (swap sponsor every 3 years to highest bidder, this is the away fans end)

      Great idea about the 96 seats, can't see them going for it though! 4th stand simply 'The Great's' , could name the rows after players. it could be voted for and proceeds going to charity?

      Quite simple really!
       
      Shankly Kop, followed by Paisley, Fagan & Dalglish stands.

      The only acceptable names for four new stands. Obviously Shanks gets the Kop!

      My earlier Idea and I was thinking a couple of days ago that the Memorial Stand I proposed, instead of the 96 seats being in the shape of a 96, that they spell out the word "JUSTICE' in white and are left forever blank.
      The Kop end
      Sponsors Stand say... Carslberg Stand (away fans still)
      And the Legends Stand, each block is given a name of a managing Legend, and each row is given the name of a playing legend. So on you ticket it could say " Legends Stand, Shankly block, Hyypia row, seat 22. or something like that.

      Dalglish stand? Considering what he has done for the club and what he continues to do for the Liverpool community?

      On a more serious note, There should be some memorial to the "96", the earlier suggestion of the seats arranged in the 96 left in white in the kop end may be more fitting !

      There can be a section on the kop called the Hillsborough section where on 96 of the seats the names of the Hillsborough victims can be put . That would be nice .
