Piracy Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thought I'd start a thread suggesting the club consider naming the new training academy after Ross McArthur after it being discussed as subject matter on here. I'd personally like to see a campaign for this to be genuinely considered. I can't think of one reason for this not to be considered as a real initiative. Can promote the idea through the forum website and Facebook page if the forum members think it's worthwhile. Thoughts please (good, bad, indifferent).

rosythpar Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I think it's a good idea,if Ross didn't secure us the German investment we would have never of had the new training ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piracy Posted November 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Please vote folks, the more the better. If we get a really positive response then we'll look at how best to get the proposal recognised with the appropriate people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't need a campaign, imo, but won't do any harm to start one. Would you like me to open a thread on daft net, Piracy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roy Barry Fan Club Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) I've made a few calls. Don't think this will fly because they want to potentially sell the naming rights of the new training ground: they think there is a reasonable sum to be gained for the Club. The other stumbling block is Ross' understated nature -- probably just not him. I very much agree with the views expressed above, by the way -- i think he has been an outstanding leader for the Club over the past 10 years. Think we should focus on something a bit more modest, which will make him less embarrassed. He does seem quite keen on the NW stand btw.

Buffy Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I like the idea Piracy but I think TRBFC is correct in thinking Ross might be a tad embarrassed by the (commendable) adoration. Anyway has he no already got a shopping centre named efter him? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the training ground is a non starter, I'd be delighted with the NW. It's probably much more visible to many Pars fans who attend home games but may be much less likely to pitch up at the training academy. A recognition Ross would richly deserve and does away with all the McArthur Park jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
