Plus some of the Larger amounts are donated outside of go fund me.
I'm sure there are some fans out there that will cover any shortfalls
There is no doubt we will get it in time.
Lots of people doing good work on it out there.

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?

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

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.

Doug Jennings is the sculptor

Portrait Sculptor | Douglas Jennings | Figurative Sculpture & Portraits

Douglas Jennings MRBS, is a leading UK portrait sculptor. His remarkable, award-winning figurative bronze statues, sculptures and portraits are extraordinary tributes and lasting memorials to royalty and eminent figures from the worlds of sport, entertainment and politics or private individuals.

Nicholas Dimbleby was Jimmy Hill’s sculptor but he passed away in the last year

We did look at using a stone mason but they couldn’t do what we wanted

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.
