I would like to start a petition to try & get Newcastle United to rename the current EAST stand the 'SIR BOBBY ROBSON' stand. He is true Newcastle Legend & deserves to be remembered for what he has done for the club, the city & all of his charity work (started The Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Foundation), even while he himself is suffering with cancer for a 5th time. He is a true gent & a legend not only to north east football, but football all across England & the world. I started this petition after getting a fantastic response on facebook (see link). So please sign up. Many thanks

YES! Sir Bobby gave us so many memories. Naming the stand is the least we can do for him.
