Apparently Juggy from Leamington supporters club will be doing the unveiling once they have singed of the design as they are the most important fans.

That would be quite hard he's not there anymore. Plus it's not the Club doing this it's the fans and family.

Pete this was all your doing you pushed to make this happen well done, there was no doubt we would get there, shame that some fans see it something the club should pay for.
After all they were our hero's, we have now done them justice. Can't wait for the unveiling.

I thought the sculptor already started the statues a while back and is almost completed and in its final stages? Is that right??
Maybe to be unveiled for start of this season?

Unlikely. Pretty sure the sculpture is pretty much done though

It only takes a heavy hammer on a chisel placed on the nose and it's oh FFS!

 

[ccfc1034]

[edgy]

What's the latest on this?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Trying to agree a date with the club but also mainly the two families
Everything in place and it will be unveiled this season
Thanks to everyone for making it possible

Dare you to ask about a Robins one at the same time Pete.

Need a Frank one first

Need a Frank one first

If winning four in a row gets you one then Robins should have about five!

It’s the saddest part for me is he didn’t get us up and finish the revolution

Is it the same sculptor who did Jimmy's? I hope so, as that one is great. You see so many comedy sculptures, the best one being the Southampton one a few years back.

His work looks great. Quite a few naked ones though, could be in for a bit of a shock when George and John are unveiled.

Those on the committee who’ve seen it say it’s stunning and the sculptor is really pleased
