No harm in keeping Paxton/Park Lane/East/West.
could just be tinkered with to reflect some of the sponsorship partners such as;

The Carlsberg Paxton Stand
The MBNA Park Lane
The Marathon Bet West Stand
The EA Sports east Stand

etc etc. This would keep the traditional names in place but also reflect the wads of dosh sponsors will splash out.

It will be Park Lane to the south and Northumberland Park to the north

Paxton will end up as the hallway line

Proper protocol is that you should only name things after people who are dead (sorry Glenn, Steve and Jimmy, though long may that remain the case)

Nicholson End
Rowe End
Mackay Side
Blanchflower Side

Like how Sheffield United have the Jess Ennis stand?

Poor girl, so young.

I know he's an impressive person, but he did only play 10 times for us.

He's much more Northampton's to celebrate

It is not just the number of times he wore the Spurs shirt that matters. Spurs are made of more substance than that, we have class and compassionate. It is also the grandeur of the man he was, the gallantry he possessed and being so successful in life despite the hardships he had gone through during his infancy and his teen years.
Aside from being an orphan during difficult and hard times, he was Black. Back in those days racial discrimination and racism was so rife and hardly anyone cared or worried about. Despite all those obstacles, he strived and fought his way forward. He went on to become a Second Lieutenant, despite the fact that back then the British Army excluded "Mulattos" from exercising as command as officers.

Spurs gave him the chance to play for us and he became only the second player ever of mixed race, to play in the top division.
So, I have a lot of respect for Walter and so should all of us.

I would recommend the 'Tunnock's Caramel Waffer' Stand. I just tried the new Dark Chocolate one and it was stunning. Tunncocks is a classy choclate product with a solid history and, I feel, represents our great club. :)

The other three stands I would name after Pleat mispells i.e: the Chimbomba Stand....
