Jimmy Frizz Stand and Statue polls

[Monty Burns]

Never said it wouldn't. Voted it should the poll. Unsure of your point.

[longtimeblue]

A statue would be apt and deserved. I'd contribute if anyone arranges... Got to be enough room new stand side. We don't embrace our once proud history enough.

[Flemboy]

Fully agree with having a permanent tribute to Sir James.Magic days under his leadership.Halcean days and so many good players.

No Major one, I just thought you were saying everyone will refer to it as the North Stand still rather than Frizzell. Of course , some will still. but hopefully over time Frizzell Stand would become the adopted name over North Stand.

Just to give you a quick update.

 

The club and the trust are working on some sort of permanent memorial/reminder and have already taken your suggestions on board. Thanks

 

I am sure once they have thrashed out all the possibles ideas, they will speak to the family and then ask for feedback from fans on the possibles too

 

Tba folks. In the meantime the suggestion of the Walsall match being at least an acknowledgement has been taken on board and will be going ahead as this was announced last week..I think

SC suggested a wooden bench with a plaque?

Everton rename Gwladys St. after Howard Kendall.

 

Hope the club have this The Jimmy Frizzell Stand in the pipeline to unveil during the new season.

Wa going to link as is does more or less what I was envisaging. Good to see the Trust working on it, and yes, family have final say.

Drum roll...

 

Black arm bands for a friendly.

 

I really hope that isn't the tribute the club were building up to.

Wonder if Oldham council would change the name of Sheepfoot Lane to Jimmy Frizzell Way? Would be great to remember him every time we walk to the ground.

Already said they're doing something Walsall game

No to this. Sheepfoot Lane is important too.

[LaticsPete]

No to this. Sheepfoot Lane is important too.

Agreed.

In Nottm & Derby the A52 was named Brian Clough Way.

The A627M would be a candidate possibly?

[opinions4u]

I'm there with the street name change.

 

Get Jim McMahon on to it!

For one of the greatest legends the club has, there should be at least some form of permanent commemoration. It would almost be shameful not to.

I liked the idea that was mentioned here from the rugby? Like a walk of legends with details of club legends on

[RoytonLatics]

Agreed. How about changing furtherwood road, then sheepfoot lane stays intact?

Good idea, particularly as that the club's address. Reckon the residents of the street would complain?

[Lee Sinnott]

Probably. They're all miserable :censored:s around there...

[longtimeblue]

That'd be fair enough. Any other road name isn't as synonymous with us or as important as Sheepfoot Lane. Before my time but you'd have to be a simpleton to not agree that Frizzell deserved a statue, even if we do change a road name.

[MAC0AFC]

How about Hilbre Avenue, the road leading to the North Stand? Jimmy Frizzell lived a stones throw from that turning, and it literally leads directly to the opening of the car park/stand, where many home and away fans walk past each game.

[underdog]

Dear all

 

The club working with the trust are going to look into a more permanent fitting tribute for Mr. Frizzle.

 

Once they have narrowed the options down and spoken to the family too, I'm sure there will be an announcement to fans.

 

The remberance starts today with I believe the wearing of armbands and then more to follow when we play Walsall.

 

TBA folks

Without a doubt.
