Enough of that, Sir Bobby should definately have recognition @ St James Park Mr Ashley Has reportedly given Mr Keegan the goal for this season, forth place! c’mon Mike, be optimistic will ya, following 3 defeats and a draw (one being donny), was that fourth bottom you plum, by all means 4th would be great and 1st even better but personally i think we should be targetting 6th, which is probably more realistic.

Stan Seymour is one of the all-time Newcastle United greats, and was known as 'Mr. Newcastle' after the various years and roles he delivered for the club. It didn't take long for Seymour to become a crowd favourite at St. James' Park, his performances helped Newcastle win the FA Cup in 1924 (a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, in which he scored). He was also part of the Newcastle team that were crowned Division 1 Champions in 1926-27. His good service for Newcastle United were not forgotten and he was appointed the club's new Director in 1938. As Director he had control of first-team affairs, He was manager of the club with the Directors Committee from 1938-1954. The club won the FA Cup in 1951 and retained it in 1952 whilst Seymour was at the helm. 3rd, 4th and 5th doesnt deserve more appreciation than this guy.

All his trophies were at other clubs, what he did at Ipswich is his greatest achievement, they should name the entire ground after him there. I sit in the East Stand and I would rather name it after Joe Harvey a true legend of our club as player and manager and he actually won us trophies. We only have 4 stands and one is rightly named after Wor Jackie, is Sir Bobby really in the top 4 all-time Newcastle United greats, does he deserve to be ahead of Harvey, Gallacher, Keegan, Moncur, McCracken, Beardsley, Shearer, Mitchell, White? He is a Geordie and has had an amazing career and we should all be very proud of him and he's been a great ambassador for our region. But most of his achievements had nothing to do with us, they were elsewhere. That's why I think the City of Newcastle should honour him not the club, one of the streets leading up to St James' could be renamed Sir Bobby Robson Way. Andyway how many of you saying how great it would be, booed him for drawing at home to Fulham, walked out in disgust after the last game of the season coz he ONLY finished 5th?

I know there is a small statue, but maybe there should be a bigger one outside the ground, or maybe name the shop, or restaraunt or something inside the groud after him. Priviledged to have met such a legend. Legend Not sure about a stand, but he should definitely be honoured in some way.

Good luck with retirement Arthur.

He is one of us.He has already been honoured at Ipswich. Lets hope MA gives permission to do the honourable thing. We can have the Sir John Hall stand, the Sir Bobby Robson stand, the Milburn stand, Shearer's bar so why not the Bramble/Boumsong stand (or of course the Hughie Gallagher stand) Lets honour the great Sir Bobby in a correct and fitting manner.
