Why is the "Jimmy Hill Way" near the Ricoh ? (1 Viewer)

Jimmy's statue is at the Ricoh for obvious reasons. I can understand that perhaps the idea is to link a road carrying Jimmy's name in the direction of Jimmy's statue. Perhaps that's it .
We no longer own the Ricoh. If we move out of the city or even build a new stadium then having the JHW near the Ricoh will be out of place, surely.
Does anyone know when the idea of the replacement name for the A444 was first put forward? I would have preferred renaming part (or all ) of the Sky Blue Way , or better still the Walsgrave Road at Gosford Green and up to Clay Lane. Perhaps that was too difficult.

Brian Clough Way is nowhere near either the City Ground or whatever Derbys ground is called.

My sister lives on Graham Hill Road and that's not right next to Silverstone.

Not sure that's how it works.



We owned a bit of ACL once.
