KingLear Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Purchased one for my Grandad who turns 90 in April, been following the City for 85 years and can think of no better tribute than to be immortalised along with the great man himself. Legends both. Can't wait to see his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thinking of getting this in amongst the '20 words' when they want the book dedication; Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch As far as I know, my old man has never been there, in fact I'm pretty sure he hates Wales. But he did teach me the value of money, so 19 other dead long words and he'll be proud of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 We'll done Sc&T to deliver I think the first Bristol permanent sculpture for any sportsman/woman in our fair city. Fair play and not before time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Outstanding, cannot wait to see this statue unveiled. I imagine the crowd will be huge when the memorial of John Atyeo is revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Well done to everyone involved with getting the statue done. Are Sc&T planning to raise funds for a Gerry Gow statue in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City were at Stoke city the day their Stanley Matthews statue was unveiled, even having no connection to their club it was a great occasion to be involved with.

Certainly one of those rare experiences / memories that last a life time. On a personal note, I've always been a bit of an odd one when it comes to statues, I often like to take a quiet moment next to the stone effigy and consider their life. Done this a fair few times whilst standing next to John Cabot down by the harbour. Now I can do the same with another famous John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the SCAT website yesterday, the Atyeo fund raiser took 8 years, so if they do decide to launch an appeal don't be surprised if it takes a while to hit target.

The timing of the statue has always been intrinsically linked to the completion of stadium redevelopment. The statue would have been ready years ago if the stadium had been.

Pedrowe Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Photos of the statue have now been submitted to the Council to discharge one of the conditions attached to planning permission.

WhistleHappy Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Really impressive, great effort by all concerned and must say what a wonderfully talented sculptor! the detail he's captured is amazing.... Love the chosen iconic pose too, with just a slight concern that Our John is going to become a pidgeon magnet - with all that entails! .... occasional cleaning will therefore be necessary and those outstretched arms are a long way up.... ....maybe we should start saving for a cherry picker next?

Bristol Rob Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The club have said that the ticket office will be closed from 3.15 'till 3.45 on Saturday whilst the de-ghosting* ceremony takes place. *Purists seem to call it an unveiling, but in Halloween week, a sheet over your head makes you a ghost in my book.

Thanks in advance Stevo For anyone planning on taking photos/video of the reveal, I would suggest getting a good spot early as it gets mighty congested in that bottleneck area........although doing it at 3:30pm might not be so bad.
