Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

[Blyth]

Voted keel crossing as the rest are fuckin shite.

 

[RestlessNatives]

So they didn't listen to anyone's suggestions and just went with a lost drawn up by the council.

I don't have any inside knowledge but I suspect they guided those choosing in the direction they wanted. I'd rather that just made a decision and didn't pretend it was up to the public. At least some of the popular suggestions I hated didn't make it though so I'm not going to complain too much.
Like when Bob Murray sent out voting forms to members but 'assumed' that anybody not replying was voting 'Yes'.
Edit: Looking at this I do actually know some of the panel.

Choosing is like one of those personality tests

Wear Crossing - a traditionalist who likes familiarity and doesn't stray into wider thinking

Beacon Crossing - an eternal optimist who has been resolute the future remains bright for a long time

Keel Crossing - an innovative thinker who relishes unique takes based on a history of successes

Should be a physiotherapist me

I wonder what a psychoanalyst would make of that mistake. Or a psychologist. Or even a psychiatrist

It'd probably put their nose out of joint

 

[RedandWhiteRebel]

You have to be kidding me with those names!

Beacon Bridge for what reason? Wear Crossing, really?

Keel Crossing is the only half decent choice and even that sounds a bit off.

None for me I'm afraid I'll not bother voting.

Was on purpose to see if anyone noticed. Honest

 

[MustardAndOnions]

This forum never lets you down. Before I saw the shortlisted names I felt sure they would be roasted on here. So, its not just the footy and just widespread and general negativity that reigns. I remember the utter outrage when the named the stadium The Stadium of Light. Absolute outrage.

Stadium of light is a brilliant name, one of the best in the country

Jesus wept, "Wear Crossing" - is that really one of the 3 best suggestions they could come up with? Couldn't be less imaginative if they tried!

Of those three, Keel Crossing would be my choice.

typical with council consultations, they steer things so they get what they want. shows a distinct lack of imagination

 

[jacko_551]

Will anyone call it anything other than "the footbridge" anyways

 

[dred73]

Didnt realise they were putting houses on Sheepfolds - going to be a nightmare on a matchday for people who buy them!

I would be surprised if they did not know what they were buying into.

 

[EDGE]

Could just let the name evolve naturally I suppose. See what the people favour after a few months.

 

[The Ram]

Keel Crossing was one of my suggestions and I'm sure other people suggested too, so I will go for that.

 

[fugitivemackem]

Promotion pass

 

[nelford_safc]

Narrowed down to 3 utter dogturd suggestions.

Narrowed down to 3 utter dogturd suggestions.

Yep I can just about understand Keel Crossing but the other two are ridiculous.

They clearly want it named Keel Crossing and have put it up against two non starters who hardly anyone voted for.

Can someone tell me why Beacon Bridge is a reference to? Keel, Wear I understand, but what is Beacon about…

Beacon of Light?

 

[t121anf]

Beacon of Light?

Could be.

 

[RedandWhiteRebel]

Because if you walk over the bridge, through SheepFolds and around the Stadium of Light, eventually you will see the Beacon of Light.....

Or something ridiculous like that.

 

[Lipso]

It should be called Regis Le Bridge
