These are nice but hasn't the artist just copied the basis of L.S Lowery's 'Going to the Match'?

I like it but I think the artist went a bit OTT with the blues and whites. Too strong.

It's pretty shit really. When did CCFC have cobbled streets and the sign that was in place when the ground was knocked down?

If it wasn't on here I wouldn't recognise that as being Higfield Road, to be honest I still don't even though I have been told it is.

It does indeed Rich .

Some poetic licence has been given to the treatment to give an Olde Worlde feel to the scene when its got to be anywhere from 68 onwards with the new Mainstand in the foreground.

He can paint better than me (not hard), but I still think it's a poor piece of art.
