Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

Sign this please, we must honor a man who bravely chose Pakistan in a time of turmoil and mistrust. As he said to Junaid Jamshed, “I live in Pakistan, I will die in Pakistan, and be buried in Pakistan.”

To honor Uncle Bob, let us re-name one of our cricket landmarks to always remember his contributions.

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

How about winning a match and dedicating it to him.
That proves he was a good coach - not a worry wart.

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

Instead of the National Stadium can we rename Qaddafi Stadium Lahore to Woolmer Field? I hate that a third world dictator has a stadium named after in my city of Zindaa-dilaanay Lahore

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

I am not sure if we should do this.. i mean i have great respect for Woolmer and his services to pakistan but i think we should draw a line to this tribute thing.. next if Allah-na-karay some other great pakistani player passed away would we rename the stadium again?

Think about it.. government acknowledging his contribution, pak ppl acknowledging this contribution and we are all sad about this tragedy but i wouldn't go as far as renaming the national stadium or any stadium for that matter..

i think we should rename a "stand" within national stadium to his honor that is much much better

Jazbati qaum. Kal marhoom ko galiaN day rhi thi.

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

Let's rename the stadium in Lahore named after a moron to Woolmer stadium...

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

agreed :)

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

more realistic :)

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

ask for the stadium, they will atleast give a stand
ask for the stand, the will only give a ticket counter
Pakistan Zindabad

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

right on!

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

Well then ask for the city to be renamed Woolmer, and they may rename the stadium.

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

Thats exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Good to see someone mentioned it.

And I'm all for renaming Qaddafi stadium to Woolmer Field or anything of that sort. Naming a stand after him would be a slap in the face to his legacy, and the fact that he died while serving the Pakistani national team (which no one has as far as I know) should definitely warrant a stadium rename.

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

i just hope he wasn't murdered by a paki (if he was murdered)

Re: Petition: Rename National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium

why would they murder the coach for Pakistan's loss

If there anyone who needs to get murdered for the loss its Inzamam, as despicable as that sounds....
