New Statue

Recommended Posts

This has been mentioned ..   but I think it would be good if the fans put in their 10p's worth about having a new statue when the stadium is extended.  We could deliver this as a petition and perhaps ask the 'Roof' boys to do something similar ..   and maybe get a bit of media coverage (there must be a few reporters on here).

 

For me there is only one statue that I would like to see ...  CR and Wes holding that trophy above their heads ...   the manager and the captain ...   what could be better than that ..  its iconic.   However, the reason for this thread before the poll/petition is done is to make sure we have all the possible alternatives on the list to vote for rather than 'none of the above' ...  so what else should we consider ??    And I really don't think it should be a statue of the owners ..   and I don't think it should even be an option in case a low vote would be considered an insult.   We can run this for a week or two then start the poll ...   over to you ! ...   :)

FWIW the club had council approval to erect a brass statue type thing with that photo of Wes, Claudio and the squad with the trophy:

Probably didn't happen due to the fallout of the following season.

The Alice Hawking statue (7ft) cost just over £60k, so I'd imagine something with two people is going to be anything from that to £120k. Just set up a crowd fund, I'm sure local business people and the club themselves would all cover most of the costs if it's done right and it gets enough publicity.

Walshy or Vardy, for me.

I think the time has past for Walsh, unless he was part of a legends sculpture featuring people from different decades. He doesn't mean enough to people who weren't around then, who seem to prefer and chuffing King.

If we have achieved more than you it is by standing on the shoulders of a Giant.

Should have built it when we moved in. Still, if we want more nods back to our history around the ground, the bloke epitomised what we were about for the best part of 2 decades.

Most of the teeny boppers here probably don't know who he is
