Wow how did you find it. Well I’ve emailed George and Abdul to ask who we’d talk to and I’m meeting joe in a week or two to see how we start something like this off. Not sure I’ve got the ability or time or passion but they deserve it so I’m gonna tryFound it, you said £350k. I assume £150k was just the commissioning cost.
Ha thought I was on the transfer shouts page.Bit early for a statue I think.
If we owned the ground we could name stands I’d love there to be a john Sillett. George Curtis Steve ogrizovic and a Clarrie bourbon stand next year

I think the Council would be more interested in contributing to a large wasp ornament than anything to do with the Sky BluesDo we think this is something we could all get behind and raise money and get agreement from the council to have it somewhere in the city??

100%so start fundraising guysCouldn’t give a fuck who he’s pissed off TBH, the club is bigger than a few personalities and he’s a massive part of the history of the club.
Statues for George and John, Oggy, and Robins I say!
I'd always assumed George dropped off the radar due to ill health, would be sad if he was frozen out of the club in his final years.
Having said that any ill feeling should surely fall away now the guy is dead. Would anyone at the club / council seriously block fan efforts to celebrate those who played an important role in our history.
The issue of where these things should go is never easy. The obvious answer is the stadium but not owning it presents potential problems although it would be hard for Wasps to turn down without looking absolute dicks. Highfield Road would be another option but is a bit out the way where nobody would ever see it. If not at the ground then the city centre somewhere has to be the best option, or maybe by the old council house as that was where thousands gathered to see the cup team.
What about a statue of George and John holding a little baby Robins wrapped up in swaddling clothes.
Unfortunately they would end up being the John Sillett Pepperami stand, The George Curtis Binley Mega Chippy stand, The Steve Ogrizovic Kleenex Stand and the Clarrie Bourton Selco Builders warehouse stand.If we owned the ground we could name stands I’d love there to be a john Sillett.

Why??Surely the location would need to be agreed before any fundraising or commissiong
What happened to bourbon???Unfortunately they would end up being the John Sillett Pepperami stand, The George Curtis Binley Mega Chippy stand, The Steve Ogrizovic Kleenex Stand and the Clarrie Bourton Selco Builders warehouse stand.
Why??
SureBecause someone has to give permission to put it somewhere
Sure

For a joint statue I'd say thisAnd the sculpture should be a variation of this:

That would be for Robert Jarni surely.Think it would be nice to have a Julian Gray tribute too, but just the pedestal and no actual statue.
Gotta be that one
I think we have a winner.
