fans united statue outside falmer

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Not to piss on the parade but wouldn't this cost literally tens of thousands to be done well?

So as to date we've got a faceless fan with big tits holding a multi coloured gay and lesbian rights scarf!!!!

No, based on what I am currently paying for cast bronze, it won't be tens of thousands, I think the main cost will be the actual pattern/sculpture that is used to cast it. Just need to find a fiendly sculpturist.

Perfect.

There was a thread a while ago about public art for Falmer and a £75k budget - can't remember the details and can't find it.

How about the chant of the time, somewhere on it, 'The Fans United, Will Never Be Divided'

I thought it was "Football united will never be defeated"?

 

[Giraffe]

I really don't want to piss on anyones fireworks but I really do think to do this cheaply would be shit and embarrassing.

As an example of cost the Bobby Moore statue outside Upton Park cost £725,000 and that was eight years ago.

Personally for this kind of fundraising i think we would have more success for a statue of Peter Ward with arms aloft.

For that money I should think you could get the real thing.

Could cost a fortune. Perhaps we could make one out of lego, matchsticks or even better, we could melt down some of the plastic seats from Withdean and make a lurid green one.

 

[DIRK STEELE]

I think this is a brilliant idea. To celebrate the average football supporter...above the greedy businessman.... from wherever! I would donate money to have this done..... any other offers?

 

[Notters]

This is a fantastic idea.


Could someone not carve the goldstone?!

 

[Seagull27]

How so?

Gay and Lesbian rights colours. We'd be inviting abuse.

A grimly fiendly one?

Not a statue. Just a picture from the day (of the North Stand with Atilla's banner?) in a prominent place on one of the concourses. To remind us.

How amazing would a Vietnam Memorial style monument be - everyone that has passed away between Goldstone and Falmer remembered with a sombering wall. Unfortunately it won't happen - and whilst a statue of a great player will be nice it won't be as good as the suggestions on this thread.

On the other side, I garantee you, any mention of the 'dark days' will be considered heresy (in terms of weakining the 'brand') until the next time we're in trouble.

 

[del strangefish]

How about a statue of me?

I was thinking that a mural of the multitude of fans would be a better and cheaper option than a stature. Possible in the same place in the South stand as the art in the North stand is being planned.

Speaking as someone who's interest in the Albion has been recently re ignited, with the excitement of moving into a new stadium with an actual decent team & manager.
I'm still trying to get my head around the Archer & Bellotti saga.

Is the new stadium being funded by private money, eg from the club's chairman, or is it being funded by the tax/ ratepayer as a community asset ?
Otherwise it could just be a case that, Bloom has more money & better football business sense than, those arseholes who decided to asset strip the club to get their poorly invested money back.
