I know I may get shot down in flames for this, but surely the name of the stand should refelct a Wigan Rugby League Legend who actually played at the JJB. If he is doing this as a PR Stunt then lets hope its not the North Stand he is re-naming, he should really let us chose if it really is a PR stunt.
How about the Kris Radlinski South Stand anyone?

i must admit i was a bit suprised that Andy Farrells name does not appear in the hat, i dont see why he wouldn't be classed as a legend?

Another good one, players who actually played there! As much as we might hate to admit it, were not playing at Central Park anymore!

As long as it isn't the North or South stand - Bell End.
Think it is odds on to be Billy Boston myself although they could go further back such as Jim Sullivan or Lance Todd.
On a general note I disagree with the idea of it having to be someone who played at the JJB as our club is steeped in history and acknowledging that at the "new" ground would be a good thing IMO.
As to the Radlinski stand that wold be very odd IMO as naming a stand after a current employee of the club just seems strange to me.
