I'd love a statue of Neil, I'd want to keep QV, hell I'd even settle for a statue of Keir Hardie, though I draw the line at Arthur Scargill!
To the new vasty and PT partnership.
If I may say so:
a} I didn't try to deflect anything from the Neil Fox thread.I wanted to fully engage with it. He's my hero.
b) I fully appreciate that Queen Victoria was a very influential person whether you like her or not and I personally prefer the Regency period to the Victorian era, vasty.
c ) I did NOT say get rid of the statue of Queen Victoria. I said RELOCATE it back to Thornes Park where it was situated for many years
d) I personally think it is an eyesore, vasty, my own PERSONAL opinion and that is the one that matters to me.
Thankyou
Now may we get back to Neil Fox please.

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

Looks like it's a job for Sir Rodney then?

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.
