Just add in 'the' before West

Could easily add in a hyphen. Or just ignore it. I’m sure there are lots of people called Rose West that haven’t changed their name.

How anyone British could look at that written down as a proposed name for a stand and not have the name 'Rose West' jump out at them beggars belief.
They should call it the Bell End and have done with it.

Quite fitting  Out of interest I wonder how often those signs get nicked? |

There was a rumour some years ago that the unwashed were going to name one of their stands The Bill Bell End after their old chairman of many years.
I imagine it to be an urban myth started by Stokies.
But you never know.

I'd leave it unchanged, purely to wind up the perpetually offended brigade.

The strangest thing about this story is that for the past five years it's been the Myra Hindley Stand and no-ones batted an eyelid.

Maybe not changed their name, but I'm sure there are many who now go by their middle name rather than the first name of Rose, purely because of the anxiety levels from all the looks they got. |

I used to manage the council housing in Rowley and Bell End was on my patch- a case of Bell End being managed by a Bell End ( at least thats what the locals called me) It could have been worse though, theres a place in Tipton called Farleys Nob....probably named after a Councillor I actually demolished the aptly named Titford Estate which was just a flick the wrist from Bell End .I think the whole area was designed by a fetishist |

This does make me laugh, on Twitter it was being laughed at because it’s daft.
Then it hit Facebook and the oldies on there “how dare you be offended after naming something after a mass murderer”.
Facebook has a lot to answer for.

A pub called the Cock Inn was redeveloped for housing and the little cul-de-sac was very nearly called Old Cock Inn Place
