    This will be a great day. I would love to get there


    WATFORD FC is delighted to announce that Graham Taylor OBE will officially re-name a stand in his honour at the Hornets' November 29 home fixture.



    The legendary former Watford manager will be accompanied by family members, who will watch on with the Vicarage Road faithful as GT offically re-titles the 1986 structure on the west side of the stadium.


    Sir Stanley Rous, whom the stand was named after when originally opened, will still be remembered via the 'Rous Bar' name, which will continue to be used within the hospitality areas of the stand.


    Between now and November 29, when Watford host Cardiff City, club personnel will be progressing the re-branding of 'The Graham Taylor Stand' to ensure it's appropriately detailed ahead of GT's much-anticipated visit.

    Would be rather good if SEJ could come along as the two will always be linked together.

    And most politely ask SEJ to leave before kick-off given our track record with his attendance? ;-)

    Especially as the game is against Cardiff - would have been good to see him the directors box with Tan!
