We don't need to name every stand after a player or manager. Can we just leave it as HSE and let someone sponsor it if they want to.

Yep agree with this. Ray Wilkie Popular Side and the Brian Arrowsmith Main Stand - very fitting, but would always be the Holker “Street” End for me.

This.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

That’s the worst idea on this thread

Knowing God he’d probably rather have the new bar named after him anyway........

There's your solution for the new fanzone. Take in Wintergreen's suggestion and get the man himself along, if willing, to open the new bar.

Holker End is what I always remember people calling it when I first started going as a kid in the late 80s and then through into the 90s. It's what I call it now.

It does seem to more commonly be called the Holker Street End these days though. I'm unsure when that started.

'Holker End' never sounds right to me. Always thought of it as the 'Holker Street End'.
