The Fat Controller Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 In respect of Markus saving the club from going out of business surely it's time to honour him properly. After all I don't think there would be too many fans against this gesture and seeing that the family wish to carry on supporting our Football Club as they have done magnificently over the last 3 1/2 years Yes or no what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 St Marys is our birth. Liebherr is our rebirth. The Markus Liebherr St Marys Stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 (edited) Naming the new pavilion building at the training ground "the Markus Liebherr pavilion" would be a better idea. Edited 21 January, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 A stand, yes - mine please, the Liebherr Kingsland Stand - but not the stadium. St Mary's recognises the location and the heritage and roots of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isla Wight Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Personally, I have never liked St Mary's As the ground name, although I do understand why many do particularly in regard to the clubs origins. People/ owners come and go over time. That's why I would just like it called Saints Stadium. Short, sweet and immediately identifiable with the club.

bender Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Wasn't it always St Marys, just with Friends Provident in front of it? Yes. Originally they called it The Friends Provident Stadium, but then Lowe gave way to fan power at it got changed to The Friends Provident St Mary Stadium. Football commentators hated it and just called it St Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timayes Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 To the OP, No. Just no. St Marys is a great name, it is already a name synonymous with the club, it is already instantly recognisable as being the home of Southampton FC and your suggestion is rubbish.

niceandfriendly Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 I've always wondered why the stadium was not called The New Dell or The St. Marys Dell. Far better than anything else IMO. But it's nowhere near where the Dell was. It's not the new Dell, it's a new stadium in a different location. I know what you're saying, at the time I also thought it should be called the New Dell, but with the benefit of hindsight it wouldn't have been appropriate and St Mary's is the perfect name for our stadium considering its location and our history.

Holbury Saint Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 Now I haven't posted on here for a long time but continue to follow threads as a massive saints fan.i just can't hold back anymore and just have to say this forum is now riddled with complete t***ers who continue to mock and ruin any perfectly reasonable questions. It's just become a complete joke. For the record, Markus deserves every accolade he gets and deserves a statue or stand or stadium named after him.We wouldn't even have anything to talk about on here if it wasn't for him.Also can everyone get behind Katharina in the same way we did Markus.If it wasn't for her this chapter we have just experienced would also not have happened.
