The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Seen something on Facebook doing the rounds this afternoon about Marks Electrical selling their building with our Champions mural on it ( on Kate St) The mural isn’t protected so could easily be demolished or done away with once the building is sold. From what I can gather Marks Electrical are trying to do something about it, but I think we should all be letting the mayor know that we want to keep this, or get it protected somehow. It’d be a travesty to lose that in my opinon Petition anyone? I surprisingly couldn’t see a thread about this after a quick scan but if there is, merge please

Harry - LCFC Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 I certainly don't want it to go. That artwork is the best physical memory we have, or are likely to have. Even a statue at the stadium wouldn't eclipse the quality of the mural in my view.
Wymsey Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Petitions etc can only go far. The council can decide on things without thinking of what the public believes is right etc unfortunately.
Spudulike Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 No, they mustn't demolish it. Sacrilege. ... unless it can be carefully dismantled and rebuilt somehow into the new stadium development ?? Make a great feature in the fans zone.
foxinsocks Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Yeah no one wants to see it go. But suppose mark saw the sale of his building as a dev plot as part of his pension. ... it would be harsh for him to lose his pension coz he was kind enough to allow the mural. The club should buy it and relocate it brick by brick to kp
The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 August 2018 Author Posted 13 August 2018 I think Union FS have been contacted too

LestaAl Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Very fond memories of first visiting this in that very special week in May 2016 when the whole world knew about LCFC. ...it would be an absolute travesty if this were lost so soon.
fleckneymike Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Scrawl Banksy at the bottom of it. Problem sorted.
Fox92 Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 If they're knocking it all down, keep the wall and bang it outside the ground

Great Boos Up Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Just keep Claudio. His painting really hit the moment. Should have left it as just him really. He was perfect.

Lol they won't dismantle the wall the whole building would come down.
Spudulike Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Just now, The whole world smiles said: Lol they won't dismantle the wall the when building would come down. That's why I added a question mark. I'm not a builder

Ian Nacho Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 If it get removed get a legends wall down at the KP and get the same bloke to do it there. Bollocks to a statue, have something unique outside the ground.
