Good idea. "Dicks" is a stupid name given the accusations about Brighton fans being poofs. I have nothing against it being called "Knights", it is a fitting tribute.

Exactly this for me.

Probably because you are a fag anyway? You certainly come across as one.

Was that an attempt at an insult?

Good one.

Genuinely surprised people don't like it being called Dick's because of some sort of link meaning we're all gay.

If anything, Knight's Bar, but I'm fine with it as it is.

It was Dick himself who chose the name because, for one, it sounded like 'Rick's Bar'.

Sadly, I think that point was lost on... almost everyone.

How about Arabian Knights? Add some colour to it. Flavoured tobacco on a smoking terrace. Soft furnishing. Belly dancers.

And he won't be able to repeat it on NSC for at least another week. It's what happens when a poster manages to accumulate enough minor infractions to achieve a seven day automatic ban.

I'm not sure.

The instruction to "round up the usual suspects" seems to be catching on.

The Knights Bar would be more classy and would take away the opportunity for the usual predictable jokes. I put "Good Idea" for that reason but it is important to keep it in his name.

I prefer "Dicks Inn" myself.

Those who are concerned about what away fans think how insecure are you?

And why would you care if a few homophobes want to be 'hilarious'?

I'd agree it is a bit low rent canteenish so I don't go there but it seems popular enough

We should really name it after the person on everyone's lips at the moment on NSC. Stephen Dobbie. Or is it Dobie? I can never remember. 18 pages and still going.

I can't believe people still care that it's called Dick's. That's his name FFS.

He is Dick. Our chairman was called Dick. We were Dick's club. We love Dick. Dick saved our club. It's called Dick's Bar.

If it makes some of you blush, maybe you should drink in the concourses?

DK saved this club and set the foundations for where we are now. Some here have no issues with dissing DK.. For those of us who were there he will always be the man who came along at a time when it would appear that the club was about to die off the pitch as well as on it. It would be a disgrace to rename the bar IMHO.

This. I also think it should be enlarged. Having a queue means not serving equates to loss in revenue.
