Bill 1,788 Posted September 14, 2010 Would you use a sponsors name or continue to call it the ''Barclay'' ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Standard 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Depends on what the stand ended up being called, I still call the Jarrold the South, but I know most call it the Jarrold now. I think I''d always call it the Barclay but as time goes on you could see fans picking up a new name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Butler 0 Posted September 14, 2010 I am surprised that it remains as Barclays bank is rhyming slank for ***kDoes that make all in the barclay crowd ***kers[:D] Should be changed to the Overdraft stand to match the hot air generated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nolly 0 Posted September 14, 2010 God i hope not, its bad enough having to call them the Jarrold stand and the N&P stand.Perhaps we could do away with Carrow Road and become the Aviva Stadium at the same time lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 219 Posted September 14, 2010 Incidently why is it called the barclay and not railway end?1. Railway end2. City Stand3. Factory stand4. Riverend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted September 14, 2010 "Incidently why is it called the barclay and not railway end?"Before someone lent the club money to put a roof on it, it was just a terrace with a steep bank the other side. Barclays bank used to have a well known branch on top of a hill in Acle and it appears that any fans standing on top of the terrace were known as ''barclays'' - the name later came to refer to the whole stand.Another little known fact was that many youngsters used to earn enough money to get into the game by operating as shoe polishers outside the ground - they were affectionally known as the Barclay boot boys.
