How long have u lived in Hove Rev? lol, just a tad surprised that u didnt know the location of our ancestral home.

But yeah, agree 100%, we DO need a bloody statue!.

Question is ... if ever we were to have one, who (or what) should it be of?.

Unthinkable - must have a monument

Maybe you should read the Rev's post again

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

A bronze statue of Stuart Storer is required

Something tasteful like Archer on a bonfire? In bronze?

If someone has haved move to Hove in the past few years, and not a football/Albion fan, why would it be expected that they would know there was once a football ground there?

That said, there should be a commemoration, perhaps a slab laid in the pavement where the entrance to the North Stand was (assuming there is a pavement there).

Can we have Dick Knight next to it with a box of matches and a gallon of petrol?

Well, l was going by the assumption that the Rev is actually an Albion fan, and surely all Hove residents beyond a certain age will know where the Goldstone actually stood. Unless of course what he said was tongue in cheek.

The thing is, yes we agree that there should be a statue or monument of some kind, but what, or who, of?.

What are you on about? The Rev is referring to someone he got talking to that wasn't aware of the Goldstone Ground.

Seriously, read the Rev's post again. He IS an Albion fan over 'a certain age'. It was the person to whom he was talking who had no idea that the Goldstone Retail Park was once the site of a football ground. He was a bit distressed that a younger person DIDN'T know.

I agree there should be some sort of comemmoration plaque or something there.

EDIT: Bugger, beaten to it.

Where's the 'pulling hair out' smilie?

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

isn't there a large stone, with "gold" in it? As long as I know it was there I don't care about anyone else to be honest. It was our home, not their's. Their loss!

Anyone seen my specs? lol, makes mental note ... must engage brain.

 

[churley1]

I'm all for this, I miss pissing on the turnstiles on the way home from the station!
