R.I.P The Bridgford Stand

[mjb1991]

Ignore

- Sorry missed this due to ignorance, Ignore my post please -

Went on a bender Sunday night and long story short ended up wondering into the City Ground unchallenged and too my horror found that part of the CG has had its soul sold... Bad times, extremely tacky too, seems to have been done under the radar too, did I miss something?

They'd already done that at the end of last season.

 

[William.]

Yeah it was up for the playoffs, helped pay for our summer signings

 

[ShakeyRed]

That was done towards the end of last season.

Ill delete my post, I never even noticed

Should've been given a better name than it has. Sod the Money Shop!

 

[Alexandro Garibaldi]

Is there even a Money Shop in Bridgford?

 

[yam]

Didn't it used to be the Colwick Road End once?

 

[DanR]

Are the Money Shop lending us £50 for Pratley until next Friday?

Those were the days..

But why "The Money Shop" - isn't that like a modern Pawn brokers? Maybe on match days they could have a little shop downstairs for the rif-raff away lot?

Ideal for board members from Leicester, Cardiff, Hull, Portsmouth, Leeds...

Should be called the peter taylor stand, come on forest get your f***ing act together!!!!!

 

[Mist Rolling In...]

I've got nothing against this move at all. In fact, I think it's a good idea. Get some extra revenue into the club in exchange for a few sponsorship boards. It'll still always just be the Bridgford Stand to the fans. If it'd been the MoneyShop City Ground, then that's a different matter!!

 

[soulmalarki]

Well at least it's not as bad as lss waste management at Leeds a couple of season ago.

 

[adam09]

I think this was done at the end of last season

 

[trickytrees12]

I never noticed this if it was done before the end of the season.

Shows how much attention I pay!

Not keen on these sponsored stands - I always liked the fact that none of ours were sponsored - guess if it helps bring money in i'm all for it.

Maybe we can put it towards a left back!!! lol

Yeah it was up there for the Blackpool playoff game, but no one knew if it was permanent.. But it's now been confirmed by mjb.

'But no-one knew' is an assumption, Marshall.

IMO - no sponsorship deal lasts forever, when i saw a sponsors name painted on the stand I thought, "that'll be there at least a season, how embarrassing".

Those good people of West Bridgford wouldn't have any need for such a shop! lol

The nearest one is in Carrington Street in town, I think. Although that might be Western Union. :dunno:

 

[westyorksnffc]

But it's called "The Money Shop Bridgford Stand", so on that basis 'The Bridgford Stand' is still in existence, is it not?
