The Sir Alf Ramsey Stand is to be sponsored by the University of Suffolk from this season.

What used to be known as Churchman’s and then the South Stand has been the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand since 2012 in honour of the man who took the Blues to their only First Division championship title in 1961/62.

We understand it will now be known as the University of Suffolk Sir Alf Ramsey Stand.

The back of the stand, which faces the station, will have new signage this summer, some relating to the University of Suffolk’s sponsorship.

JewellintheTown added 14:08 - Jul 27 So we'll all still just call it the Sir Alf then or the South stand. It's like calling Twitter, "X". Not happening, so won't change a thing. Wont complain about the money for the club though.

Monkey_Blue added 14:55 - Jul 27 Strangely the west stand will always be the Pioneer stand to me… Bolton’s stadium will always the the Reebok… sometimes sponsorship does work. Pioneer haven’t sponsored the club for 40 years and they still get their branding on those retro kits. The University I assume simply wants to make fans more aware of its existence and increase applications which brings them revenue.
