So many people on twitter fucking moaning that Doug is being tight and making us pay for it.

totally missing the point that this gives the clubs fans the opportunity to be a part of this and give back to George and John.

Gimoc and Dawkins being the main culprits for this.

Agreed, that Dawkins fella has a strong anti DK agenda. He even mentioned Joy donating, as if she's some sort of benevolent benefactor...

Long overdue imo, especially for George, fantastic servant since the age of 16.

Great news.

Really hoping the image they're using is the one I want.

Think it might be the one we hope but might be manipulated a bit to make it work as a statute

Maybe the statue could recreate his goal that knocked Sunderland out of the cup in 1963

Got me thinking: any players (other than Curtis) who deserve a statue? Only one I can think is maybe Clarrie Bourton as his record is never going to be beaten. Not sure anyone since makes it?

And the only other manager I think will be Robins when he finally goes.

Not one fan will own any part of the statue, nor will any contributors be recognised in any way. It is pathetic and stingy from the club. I hope I'm wrong but everything points towards Doug being a proper money-grabber at the moment.

Why would you want to own a part of a statue?

I was thinking this! To me it's a bit weird if they're too recent, but how cool would it be to have a big one of the entire 87 team, yknow the one of them celebrating with the cup on the pitch with George and John

That’s Harry Potter lookalike talks shite. He’s always been sore as sisu didn’t take him seriously.

Anyway I’m sure us fans would want to contribute to it, so we can show in a small way our appreciation to the biggest legends of this club. It means more when it’s paid for by the fans.

Would it be a good idea to raise something on here similar to the season ticket fund?

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread about statues for players, well would it be an idea to have a " walk of fame " similar to the one for movie stars in Hollywood

Decent idea that, maybe the club could get old players to bring an old boot in to do an imprint. Could make it a yearly thing invite a notable ex player back for a talk and do the walk of fame ceremony

I was tempted to do this and send a donation on behalf of the sky blues talk forum but decided it would be better for individuals to just use the go fund me page

what do we all think friends?

I think someone made a fair point about £500 being a lot, especially in this day in age etc etc.

There's probably going to be a number who'd want to maybe contribute a smaller amount so I think it's a good idea.

If the club had paid for the Jimmy Hill statue, it'd have been used by SISU as the foundation stone at our new ground before we knew it.

This one would definitely need to be on wheels. If it was, I'd donate.

They didnt want a plinth with thousands of names on it that is why they choose £500 tbf most of the big contributors have asked not to have there names on it.

Would be far better without donors names, somehow feels wrong if it has those on it but I would try and recognize them somewhere else or somehow.
