Don’t agree with the celebration , wouldn’t have the club we have today or the stand without him.
Rest in Peace, hopefully he will get the stand re named after him
You mean a stand that was quite likely paid for with the proceeds of a 'business' almost certainly responsible for the deaths of many young people. A 'business' model still being operated by his son not only in this country and Malta but possibly in Wales with a small club Flint Mountain who he has apparently just invested in.
How much of it was actually “paid for” certainly during the time he was in charge will probably be forever a moot point.

I remember on this very forum many years ago, before the stand had been named and when we were under the ownership of Paul Casson, that I said it could only be named after Brian. And that viewpoint certainly remains the same now.
Interesting fact. Cowps was asked first but turned it down

He is probably not even dead it will be some kind of tax scam. I like to see the good in everyone but he wasn’t a very nice person

Like him or not the club needed him at the time or we would have gone under.
There is an element of truth in that but what enfolded during his tenure resulted in us nearly losing our very existence. He went on to do similar to Chester and Widnes vikings
And Bangor in Wales

Like him or loathe him. Our Main Stand is still the best feature of the ground. Built whilst he was in charge.

He had to be threatened with court action because he didn't pay for the work !

If you aren’t going to pay for it, build a proper stand!
