George Hardwick saw his own statue at the Riverside - it was a surprise gift for him.
If there is a Seaside shouldn't there also be a Teesside?
NORTH - 'The Dock End'
EAST - 'The Seaside'
SOUTH - 'The New Holgate'
WEST - 'The Bryan Robson Stand'

'The Dock End' sounds better tho.. Teesside is the whole area.
But it is literally Tees-side isn't it?
Did you know that like Northern Rail was rebranded as Northern, Teesside Park was rebranded as simply Teesside? That was back in 2016 - it worked well didn't it?
Teesside's biggest shopping park has a new name following rebrand
Rebrand has seen Teesside Shopping Park become a one word destination :: Not only that, it's had the new name since May

Yeah.. but it's confusing and diminutive. Can you imagine one of the Liverpool stands being called the merseyside? Propper naffBut it is literally Tees-side isn't it?

So.. if you can take my notes to your next 'Pentavirate' meeting with Sir Steve.. everything should be in order?

We were no more than Clough’s fourth favourite team for most of his life, just as a reminder to those saying he should have a statue/stand.
For me it should only ever be for people who are unquestionably “ours” (at least in this country), so that’s Juninho, Mowbray, Mannion, Camsell, Hardwick etc.
Even Slaven (and mark my words there will be huge outpouring of grief when the Wolfman dies despite people criticising him for his views etc while he’s alive).
Clough is Forest’s (mostly) and Derby’s. Robbo is United’s.
The Riverside will always be the Riverside to me. But a stand for Gibson would be very fitting when he snuffs it, it would set him apart from everyone else (rightly).

Names pic themselves really, how about the Nemeth, Ricketts, Doriva and Christie stands?

Pentaverate ?
Mannion actually went on strike to get away from Boro. He failed and had to start playing for us again.
Different times of course but players were literally treated as "servants" so I don't think we can judge anyone playing in such a different era.
Clough's family do not want his statue moved - they have been asked. It means a lot to them that he is walking through the park for all time where he once lived and played.
