Looks a lovely stand absolutely perfect for TUFC and it makes Plainmoor look so much better. Yeah the name doesn't grab me but like i think regiment said if thats what they want then that's fine they could call it the Vas Stand for all i care, i'll take the stand thank you very much.

That way, if we concede 3 goals in that end, we can say "dammit, we've been well and truly ****ed" and nobody could disagree!
Ha! I can do better than that, here in Stoke we have the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the UK. :rules:

Fantastic news, Well said by CP it does make sence. I nice way to tribute him after all he has done for us at the club.

Do people still think theres any chance of getting the away fans in there so we could get the "away end" or are we all happy in the pop. Or we moving to the "bench".

Bring on more good news :scarf:

Just realised that I can use this name to impress my American friends.

"Of course, I appeared on the bench at Torquay United once"..

I can do better than that. Cambourne, a new town outside of Cambridge had the highest rates of pregnancy in Europe.

No you don't, not even in the top 10 I'm afraid. We come in at a creditable 10th place and our rate is increasing faster then any other! :-D

We also come 2nd in the list for cheap smack!

Superb news that we can all remember the fantastic generosity of a fellow fan in such a way.

I love the plans of the Buckle's Bent stand, sorry Bristows Bench, great touch & I'm happy they have the recognition they deserve.

I can't help thinking the stand will be exactly like the one of Forest Green Rovers. Are away fans gunna be in this stand too?

Mr & Mrs Bristow have done their bit for the club. Well done. :bow:

What's needed now is a big fish from the kipper industry.

Smell it ?

Someone (when the Grandstand called Bristow's Bench is built), who can take the club forward and fillet.

Good news, it is good to see that Paul Bristow has been recognised for the work that he did at the club.

I think it's a great name for the stand. Slightly different, which is nice. Mr & Mrs Bristow have done so much for the club, it's a fitting tribute to Paul. :clap: Maybe a section of Boots & Laces could be designated "Bristows Bar", as a further dedication. (D)
