Put it outside the stadium, like Jimmy’s IMO.

I’d throw a few quid in. Do we have an idea of cost? The Hill one wasn’t cheap IIRC.

I would love to help, Pete, but most of the time I am in Kent.

Good luck.

It has to be at the stadium, somewhere near the JH statue.

I did see someone wearing a City top in Herne Bay. Scruffy looking old guy with a beard and no teeth. I guess that was you.

Sorry for putting foreign coins in your cap. You must have thought you were actually going to get a dinner that day. Or some more drugs.

Great news. Think it should be outside the other atrium rather than by Jimmy.

Sounds a great idea Pete. I have neither the time, energy and probably most importantly the skill set to get involved personally but can I politely suggest should it happen it’s based on this image

I pulled it off google Pete. I’d hazard a guess that it was a CET picture originally or maybe even the clubs. Might be worth approaching them for an original.

I'd personally think it would be better off in the City Centre than at the Ricoh.

Who knows how long the Ricoh may (or may not) be a part of CCFC.

Would be a great tribute... assuming not using the artist who did the Fulham FC Michael Jackson 2011 effort.

This is a fantastic idea. Surely the statues should be based on an
image taken during their finest hour rather than one taken 20-odd years later though?

Was thinking that too but I’m pretty sure the image I shared was the last time they were photographed together and was taken at the Ricoh. On that basis it would just edge it for me, especially if the statue ended up at the CBS. Especially if our future is secured there.
