Fossets Farm - Statues?

[sufccolchester]

Having been to Blackpool , Ipswich and Leeds and seen the statues they have outside the idea of one at the new ground is appealing. The problem would be who do you choose? Alternatively it would be nice to see lots of people commemorated in the walls of the stadium, like the designs in Bluewater. Carved granite/concrete in the walls. If Uncle Ron can't afford the fancy bits should we start a fund? :o

Russell Williamson. A life size statue would be very cheap to produce.

I dont really know if this would work, we dont have a star as known as the other clubs mentioned

If we're talking statues to commemorate the life of Southend United FC then it can only be Oliver Trigg.

And perhaps a smaller one inside the main reception area of Sid Broomfield to remember in years to come of exactly where SUFC's modern era began.

Billy Best :D

I agree that's why I thought a series of heads in the walls would make a better impression of the club.
We are not a one man team and never have been. Bill Garner, Billy Best, Anton O... (no I'm not going to spell it!), Peter Taylor etc.. Some are known outside the club but most live on in our memories and it is the journeymen players that have made us the club we are today. Garry Nelson had a valid point in his books, most players never make the big money or acheive their dreams but for 90 minutes they give their all for us.

Seconded. Roots Hall is unique in that is was built and paid for by southend fans, an achievement that I don't think will ever be repeated by another professional club.

I reckon it should be a 'col u fan on a piece of string'.

Generally you only get satues of people who have passed on. Someone actually suggested Stan Collymore in another post and he was only with us 9 months :)

Cud put it as you enter the car park!

Was it Stan posting under a different name? He said in his autobiography the rebuilt South Stand should have been named after him because it was paid for by his transfer fee.

A statue of Tes Bramble please.

Lol, that would be so funny, dont think Stan would appreciate the tribute:)

What about a wall with pictures of the fans too like they have at Stamford Bridge! Could do it instead of fans have different pictures of legends past and present!

I would pay for the whole thing!

That's a good idea - would frighten off the away fans as well. :p

A tri-hologram of Alvin Martin, **** Bate and Bobby Moore to remind us that no matter how bad things might get in the future they'll surely never be as bad as life under these three.
