Would one of the buffs (either history or English) amongst us please explain why a place you sit is called a stand?

You are one sick puppy.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I'd call it the Lyon Lyons stand.

But they'll probably go with the Peter Peters stand.

What about the 3M or Martin-Martin-Martin Stand? For Ian Martin, Steve Martin and Martin Meredith?

In all seriousness though, I would like to see more of our early greats honoured. I will through some names out there of people who I think deserve recognition:
Roy Bull;
Kevin Schubert;
Wally O'Connell;
Gordon Willoughby;
Johnny Bliss;
Ray Ritchie;
Ron Willey;
Rex Mossop; and
Frank Stanton

@Terry Zarsoff

It would amuse me to have the tautology terrace in the Mossop stand.

I Like Mossop and Bull though. Roy served in just about every capacity the club has over a life time. Even as a much tormented "chaperon" to a team I played in. All ways a gentleman.

 

[brad]

The EAGLES NEST.

Thanks HM, about the only thing it doesn't mean is sit.
