Quote: Rugby Raider "It could be done. Not sure how much a statue would cost £10,000-£20,000?
A £1 per fan would be a feasible start, plus I’m sure there would be other sources of funds available.
The recent Bob Paisley statue at Anfield was actually funded by their main club sponsor.'"
Great idea and what a tribute that would be. However, that pricing is a bit of an under estimation when we commissioned the jack harrrison memorial outside the KCom we were back then in the the mid 2000's quoted £40,000 for a statue. The standing stone Boulevard Memorial that we commissioned at the Boulevard Academy which is only 3 ft tall cost in the end around £10,000 in total. The guy trying to raise the money for a Jack Harrison statue I think quoted £100,000.
It's the commissioning of the design and the sculptor before you even think about the cost of the materials the foundation etc. That said nothing wrong with aspiring to it and perhaps the council will help, for he needs a fitting memorial. I expect at then very least we'll see a Road re-named.
