Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

The Brick East Stand

Post by josie andrews »

Does anyone remember that the East Stand was renamed from The Billy Boston Stand & is now known as the "The Kingdom Group East Stand' by landlords Wigan Athletic in October 2021? And if it’s still known as that?

I wonder if we can start a petition to get its name changed back to “The Billy Boston Stand"?

Well there shouldn't be too much objection from the Tics fans, with the home crowds they have achieved so far this season, perhaps they should move out of the Brick and start playing in Robin Park Arena :lol:

Was it not just for the football games?

I don’t know, was reading soming this morning regarding Billy, when that was lower down in the piece.
The Billy Boston Stand at Central Park was named in his honour. Similarly, the East Stand at the DW Stadium was officially renamed after Billy Boston in 2009. The East Stand was renamed 'The Kingdom Group East Stand' by landlords Wigan Athletic in October 2021.
