Agree Chris it seems a bit over the top just for naming rights deal.

Which side for Momirovski do you reckon Clueso? I’m thinking Fus could do with a centre who can / will pass the ball; and wondering whether a better defensive centre might make sense on the right.

I guess Newman will stay at 3 as the current incumbent.

Think he can play either. I've always liked Newman better on the left, where I think he played most of his academy rugby.

What irony it would be if it was after Wakey relegated as Wakey fans were always the ones who complained the most about the western terrace, which in itself was ironic considering the state of their ground.

I always thought they could not construct a covered area due to objection of the houses behind, due to planning restrictions.

They could always put up a temporary stand at the Western Terrace and take it down between home games.
Not sure what that would cost offset against the number of spectators who would use it.
Didn`t they put up an almighty high temporary stand at Old Trafford I think for the cricket?
Probably the most ridiculous suggestion ever made I know.

There was indicative planning permission for a low covered roof on the Western Terrace as part of the original council approved stadium masterplan. But I doubt it's that right now.

Now how about... what if Rohan Smith was being replaced?
