" THIS FORUM CAN REALLY HELP "

Chatted to Vince Alm today about the Fred Keenor Statue and with Vince now on board and spearheading the fund raising, I feel we can finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

The Club has done their part, allowed 2 friendly matches where they raised about £20,000 odd . The club also did a big function and bucket collection raising thousands. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: The council are putting up £15,000.

I would love to see the Statue up in the next year. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


US FANS CAN NOW PLAY A MAJOR PART and BACK VINCE ALM and THE SUPPORTERS CLUB.

Any ideas ?

A coin circle, next game, we start a coin circle that goes all around the stadium, pounds, 50 p,s what ever all linked up and a full lap, will raise thousands and something a bit different, let's get it on.

What about one of those sponsor a pixel websites?

Someone knocks up a photo of Fred Keenor using 20,000 pixels and fans/companies/just about anyone can buy a pixel for a £1.

You can then click on the individual pixels and see your name/company etc.

I believe some geek did this a few years ago and made a $1m out of it.

I think it's a waste of money.

Dragging up old insignificant history stinks of desperation and the goal that won us the FA Cup was pathetic anyway.

20k for a slab of auld metal to celebrate what? Pffffttt

How many Eurpean trophies have we won? How many League titles?

We've got no history and we don't need a statue for the seaguls and pidgeons to sit on end of story.

Let's get out there and make some history and keep the statue money for someone that actually writes it......and it's not going to be a statue of you or carl fecking curtis :old:

We did it for Ivor Allchurch and every home game fans are always taking pictures of themselves standing by the statue and I personally think it's a mark of respect and a great idea. ATB. Reeco

Closest they will come to having anything to do with an FA Cup Final.

Lol. As a fan, I would be happy to never win the FA Cup, if it meant us keeping our Premiership status long term, it's nice to win the FA Cup and it will always be on a clubs CV but to me, the Premiership is where any club should want to be. ATB. Reeco

Dont think they can do that with the price freeze but I know last year they gave fans the option to donate on the forms

There could be a Wembley trip coming up, that could mean 35,000 plus City fans buying tickets, would an extra £1 on the ticket be out of the question?
