did someone say statue??

 

[dougdeep]

No thank you.

 

[Max Paper]

No thank you.

Agreed. A statue for the sake of it is a bit tin pot.

Goldstone replica for me

A giant seagull statue so all the other seagulls & pigeons can shit on it like every other statue

 

[Marshy]

Maheta Molango, Dirk Lehmann or Geoff Pitcher. One of the three and I'm happy

I will tell Geoff when I see him next he has a vote ;-)

He will be delighted.

End of discussion.

Said it before: there should be a statue of ordinary fans celebrating, to recognise that fans kept the club going ('fans' include Tony Bloom and Dick Knight, and supporters of other clubs).

It should be at ground level (or, perhaps, with a few steps up to it), and positioned well, so the stadium is in background.

One fan should be small-ish and with arms raised, so home/away fans can slip on a shirt and scarf.

In other words, perfect for a photo opportunity.

Would be great if fans posted pics on forums and social media every home game.

Obviously it should be a statue of GLENN MURRAY, then he'll always be with us.

 

[El Sid]

Katie Price just outside Dicks Bar

 

[Duncan Muir]

There have been some outstanding individuals who have helped the Albion,Dick Knight,Tony Bloom etc. but maybe a generic statue of Albion fans who kept the club alive and campaigned for many long years to help win the struggle for the Amex.Power to the People!

They have a generic statue at the new Sunderland stadium ... Man, woman and child with hats ,scarves etc ... this (with Wardy?!) would be a great show of respect for our fans past, present and future ...

Well seeing as you're only a semi-old fucker, you won't have been around for Tommy Cook, just as I wasn't around for Ward!

The point is a statue will be there for 100 years... It would be a little bit embarrassing, considering the players we are going to have in the future, to have a player who was capped just once for England with a fairly average goalscoring record & that never even won a trophy with us - regardless of how exciting he was at the time

Yeah, that Ward was really crap, and he's never bothered with us since.

Anyway, even if Vicente is a "better" player, he'll never have the same long-term association with us; unlikely any future superstars will either.

Not sure what Cook's cricket and war service have to do with the Albion?

Personally, I'd go for the "fan" statue.
