one idea could be rather then one statue of a single person, what about a trio on one like Turner, Rowley and someone else?

Interesting Bob, and certainly something I'm looking to raise with the Trust, club and other supporters groups if we take it forward.. Never a bad time for an Idea in my view though, and can understand your thoughts on the matter, but while the trust are raising money for the concourses, so are the Superblues for whatever the next scheme is, and OSC... Im not sure they have been asked to stop asking the fans for money to help the trust get there scheme done, so im not 100% in agreement with you that another group coming forward with an idea should... Anyway, if this thing trundles on we might all be invested in it and see that is might actually work? Cheers for the feedback I dont think you're quite getting what i am driving at. The trust is already engaged in raising funds for a project so we would be unlikely (IMO) to put our group behind this because committing to a second project with one already underway is not a good idea. Superblues basically donate to whatever the club asks for and fund their projects differently to us, they have a draw etc dont know what the OSC current project is, but again they collect their money in a different way by selling glasses and memberships. I dont know whether either group would work on a statue project, maybe they would. do they comment on here in any way? Apologies if one our Trust colleagues has replied. We have been asked about this, as have the SuperBlues and OSC. The Trust certianly would support this project. We did look at similar schemes else, and I believ have posted on threads elsewhere. The ball park figures is around the £75k mark (variance of £25K +/-) depending on the type of statue etc. I will discuss this again with my Trust colleagues as a project going forward. We are continuing obviosuly with the Concourse Project. As we go forward we want to develop a 'rainy day' fund for a community share purchase (as per Supporters Trust objectives). I believe the way forward on a Statute project would be working with other groups/ bodies such as B and A etc.
