Quote: Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo "I think I read somewhere that the John Holmes statue at Headingley cost around £100k and going further back Freddie Trueman's and Dickie Bird's being slightly less as they were a few years back.'"
In that case I think we can forget it, Wollo. The Dickie Bird statue in Barnsley by Grahame Ibbeson cost £60,000 in 2008, so the £100,000 for Homes seems could be correct.

Just searched a bit and found info that the Freddie Trueman statue, again by Ibbotson, cost £90k. Appeal began in 2007 and statue erected in 2010.

Guess I haven't kept quite up-to-date with the cost of sculptures. As I say, I think we can forget it. The people of Wakefield would not be interested generally; The Council will reckon that they've contributed enough to WT already and Mr Carter is down to his last £15.000,000

There was a minute when I thought the same, but in light of what has happened over the last few years I think WT and RMW should keep a reasonable distance, but there again if he REALLY WANTS to pay for a statue of Neil. Knowing Rodney he would be more likely to finance a statue of himself though.
