Chairman's recognition

To recognise the tremendous efforts of our Chairman, Mr Peter McGuigan in being at the helm of our club through promotion to the Football League and now on the eve of the completion of the Globe Arena, I would like to suggest that the Home Stand is named after him as a means of recognition for what he has overseen during his tenure as Chairman of Morecambe FC.

JB Christie is to be honoured by the naming of the access road to the Arena. I think it's only fitting that Peter is given similar recognition.

Whilst I agree with your sentiments entirely how do we recognise the contribution of the Rod Taylors, Graham Hodgsons, Pete Cross's and other Directors who have also made a massive contribution.

You could call it the Peter McGuigan Arena for me because without him it may well never have come to fruition. However he seems a low key type of guy and may not really want such recognition. Who knows?

How different to another club not too far away who's illustrious Chairman had been there roughly two minutes before he modestly retitled the main stand the Stephen Vaughan stand.

I agree and if he don't want something as big as that named after him what about one of the facilities at the ground?

Theres the McIlroy Suite at Moss Rose Macclefield.

Maybe the new banqueting suite could be the Peter McGuigan suite.

Perhaps one of the other rooms could be named after Sammy. Lets face it without him we would be playing Barrow , Grays , Histon etc in a crumbling Christie Park.
