Name the surrounding areas

Post by sutts07 »

As we all know there will be plenty of walkways, bridges and park areas at the site of the new stadium and in another thread I was joking about some ideas on how to name them.

The main approach to the stadium would obviously be Route One.

Two intersecting paths would be the David Cross-Roads.

You'd leave your motor in the Tony Carr-Park.

Waterways would be the Trevor Brook-ing, or the Peter Bra-Brook.

We could plant a few trees and call it the Ron Green-Wood.

Grassy area outside the stadium must be Robert Green.

There was a similar thread on WHO the other day. As I pointed out there the LLDC won't countenance areas in the park itself being renamed but I reckon newham would be up for it in areas outside the park. I reckon a good chance would be renaming the 'greenway' between west ham station and the park 'west ham way'.

As the second most important route to the stadium it makes sense, and It'd also have a symbolic value,..

A reminder for those that need it that we will have precious little, if any, control over our new rented home .
