    Realistically Parky is one of our best managers of all time and certainly of relatively recent history. There should be a Parky bar/suite at least. There should be a McCall stand but Parky deserves his dues. The way he left didn’t feel good but you’ve got to to think we knew what was coming

    No. Simple. As. There have been better people to be honoured.

    He's only 1 of 2 managers in the history of the club who've got us to a major cup final.

    I know Pointon has had a good season but a bit early to be calling for him to have a statue

    Nice one Asafa!

    Just thinking about the 3 legends, Stuart, Ces and Bobby, I wonder if Ces is aware of the esteem in which he is held.

    In fairness though, it's difficult to get promoted if you're already in the top division.

    The way he left ?????

    Mate he knew what was coming thats why he left.

    Course he deserves something after what he produced for us nothing but progress year upon year ..........great cup runs .......beating them dirty barstewards the way we did deserves a honour on its own :)

    No. It’s a pointless thread but hey, we can go on forever and finally discover Rahic has a toilet at the back of the Kop named after him………..;)

    Plant a small tree on the banking behind the NW corner in his honour.

    Surely one of your previous neighbours is the most deserving former Bantam!
