    They'd probably be named, BOD1, BOD2, in fact they could name the ground BOD. ;)

    Considering the Hill 16 gets it's name from the 1916 rising I don't thing having a stand named after it in a ground called "Royal". As for The Horgan Stand, considering that the Hogan stand is named after a player killed by Royal forces on the pitch, I don't think that would be a good move either.

    The RNLI and the Royal College of Surgeons are two entities with the term Royal in them that do excellent work. As a country we will have to eventually, though I think we're well on the way in general, to comprehend that something called Royal is not neccessarily bad.

    The sheer GeeBagness of the English forces on those two occasions is not acceptable but that doesn't mean anything called Royal is also not acceptable, though it may be insensitive to a degree in relation to the Hogan Stand.
