I know of one person who posts on here from time to time and, indeed, has carried out extra curricular tasks on behalf of Wakefield Trinity previously.............How busy are you, vasty?
To busy I’m afraid. Also I’m to young, Fox is a legend to me but I never saw him play so I have no real emotions.
I’d contribute but in truth this one is for you older fans to sort it. He’s your hero, mines Nigel Bell.
Just a thought but what about a freeze (if that’s how it’s spelt). Hey say a dozen legends on it and then you may get some fund raising traction, maybe even a doner.
Over to you oldies

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.
