Otside the transport museum in that massive paved area

Same as Broadgate that it’s got a statue already so was thinking of places that don’t but that works too.

How about between the Herbert and Cathedral?

If it’s it town I’d go for Broadgate, that’s where everyone gathered the day after the cup final

Already has the Godiva statue and I think it's better with just that.

Would prefer it to be near the stadium as it has better context there.

it might not have much context in a few years

Yeah that's the thing, isn't it. No idea how practical it'd be to include in the fund raising a slush fund to move any statue if needs be, but raising funds with that in it kind of takes the shine off Sillett's achievements too.

I'm wondering whether there could be a cheaper but effective option in having a bronzed 3D pressing of them both with the cup up on the outside walls, this could also be easily moved if the club should ever move to a new stadium. Just a thought if the funds required for a statue are prohibitive.

I have in the past suggested a Mt Rushmore-esque relief of Hill, Sillett, Curtis and Storer but think we'd need to leave expansion space for MR.

Apart from the fact is may well be cheaper than a full statue it also wouldn't take up floor space, potentially being a bit of an obstruction and also puts it more out of the way of potential damage or vandalism.

sell walker, build the statue. problem solved.

[insert some joke about more movement from george and john statues etc etc.]

Not sure statues are a good idea these days.

Why? Were Sillett and Curtis involved in the slave trade?

 

[Houchens Head]

There's a statue of Brian Clough in King Street, in the middle of Nottingham city centre. Nowhere near the City Ground.

Unless George and John were slave traders I'm not sure what your point is

Broadgate or in the general area in front of the council house

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Something like this with them both holding the cup up together would be perfect.

Problem is where to put it, the arena isn't ours and the point is lost if it's away from the actual football.
