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
