Renaming Zampa Road

[leFerne]

To John Berylson Way.

Well, that's the plan anyway.

 

[syrup]

Brilliant!

I think it's the perfect tribute, any comments to be submitted by 1 January. I imagine they'll be some objections so there's no harm in us writing in individually to support the change.

 

[EverybodyKnowsUs]

Will they rename the mascot

 

[norwichmark]

Respectful

Well deserved & a touch of class

 

[rotherwall]

Excellent idea, but some of Zampa Rd is in Lewisham. Will they agree?

Think it changes to bolina road after the bridge, you'd hope that lewisham would though

 

[bazzwall]

Terrific idea, thanks all involved

 

[Lionlincs]

What a fantastic tribute.

Well done to the club

 

[Kryan Bing]

Very well done to whoever managed that and a lovely tribute to JB.
Was the club involved, or solely an idea from Southwark Council?
Just curious really, because it's Southwark Council statement.

Sorry to be morbid but did it occur to anyone else last night that both sides previous Chairmen had died in crashes and both sides current Chairmen are their respective sons?

 

[buster35]

Good way to remember John

 

[High Life Street 2.0]

Perfect. Literally part of history, part of the area, which is Gods little acre, btw

If they know what’s good for them

I didn’t think of that because it is too morbid.

 

[Terry_Hurlock]

Lovely gesture...although....

Most of Zampa Road comes under Lewisham, only the bit from Ilderton Rd to the train bridge is Southwark.


Knowing London Council Beurrocracy, it'll still be called Zampa Road in ten years time.

 

[King of The Jungle]

I like it.

In 200 years when we and the club are all gone some student wanker will want to rename it because "Berylson was associated with that awful violent football club Millwall".
