A proper football club honours it's legends. Another step in the right direction.

For a club who has only ever won 1 trophy of note, ever, its mad that its taken this long to honour them properly.

Both true & proper Footballing Gentlemen.

Well done to those involved in getting it done.

PUSB.

About time.

 

[clint van damme]

Make sure it's on wheels, just in case we move again.
Seriously though, great news.

 

[Ashdown]

Fantastic news, another step along the road in stamping our identity on the CBS !
Well deserved as well, they were a huge part of the 4 great periods in our history
1, 1930s Clarrie Bourton days
2, Jimmy Hill revolution
3, Cup Final victory
4, The Robins era ( Part 2 )

How much does a statue cost?

£200k seems a bit steep.

Well the infamous Ronaldo bust reportedly cost less than $45,000. So anything significantly greater than that is good news in my book

About £200k I think

It needs to look decent though

 

[SBT]

Personally I am SHOOK by the return of Joe Elliott!

Seem to recall our last statue was free.

No idea why it was of Yakubu or installed in the middle of the pitch though.

Git! Opened thread to post exactly this!!!

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Top work Pete, fantastic effort

 

[shmmeee]

Great stuff.

 

[Fysnkysc]

People all over complaining about it like they're being forced to donate something, I'm happy to contribute a little and I'm sure some of the players and Douglas will contribute something also.

 

[CBS16]

That'll be brilliant. Greatest moment in the clubs history absolutely has to be marked at our ground. CBS slowly but surely becoming a great home

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why the fuck aren’t the club paying for this?

It wouldn’t be owned by all of us then
Foundation is to raise about 2/3 with rich donors which includes the club and the arena as well as many others and then 1/3 from the fans and Coventrians so we all own the credit and can take part in bringing it to fruition

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Well done Pete for all your hard work done on this project.
A big shoutout and thank you to all the donors.

You too matey

 

[Ccfcisparks]

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.

Yep all these things work so much better when owned by the community. Doug and the arena and many others have raised the 2/3 we need to raise the rest

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

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.

Anyone donating £500 or more will have their name shown on the plinth

Who will own the statue porky?
How is Doug grabbing any money from this?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Tell Dinosaur arms Doug to put his hands in his pocket mate. He has made a mint from Coventry City and the fans over the past year.

£135k has been donated before approaching the fan base to finish the fundraising off and make our own contribution however big or small in thanks to two legends of our club

Why don’t you just fuck off to another club.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Oh so we're only recognising the rich fans with a spare £500+ to throw at a statue? No doubt this list of fans is being put there for easy access by Doug so he knows who to come to when he needs a few more bob to line his pockets.

If you don’t want to give anything then don’t it’s simple

Usual suspects

 

[Johhny Blue]

Top work Pete, fantastic effort

Can we get a statue of Pete next?

 

[Johhny Blue]

It’s not that he doesn’t want to give anything. He just wants his name on it to aknowledge his twenty pence
