Dick knight

[grubbyhands]

Perhaps it's something for fans to do. Find a sculptor, get a preliminary proposal together, taking guidance from the sculptor as to subject matter, location etc. Then put it to a vote with fans, here, Facebook, in the program etc. If sufficient interest is there, then a campaign to raise the money to do it. TB doesn't have to spend anything.

That is exactly the way to do it IMHO

Knight came in at the start but he did not have the cash to finish the job,he stayed on and we were almost relegated, a small bust in the bar would be appropriate.
Bloom deserves to have a stand named in his honour

It SICKENS to think of the lovely AMEX being TAINTED by a STATUE of the potless pillock ERECTED near it. The most APPROPRIATE tribute is TRAP 3 in the GENTS where we CAN put a picture of him in the BOG so WE can SHIT on him like HE did to US over the years

Bloom is to modest to have a statue of himself at the ground. Knight would pay for his own statue if Bloom were to allow him to put it up.

 

[El Presidente]

Bloom is to modest to have a statue of himself at the ground. Knight would pay for his own statue with the 1983 Cup Final money he salted away if Bloom were to allow him to put it up.

In the INTERESTS of public DECENCY I would USE a pair of Liz's BLOOMERS that I have ACQUIRED to cover any STATUE up

Dick Knight saves the football club and spends a decade of his life laboriously working with nothing, bringing us home to Withdean and then to the promised land of Falmer, winning four trophies in the process.

...and you think Tony deserves a statue because he's rich

Perhaps Chelsea and City should have statues of Roman and the Sheikhs respectively

Slight difference between Roman/Sheikhs and Bloom, the blooms have been around the Albion for years and i would back him as a true Albion fan unlike Roman/sheikhs.

Sometimes money talks and without TB we would be truly f*cked. The mans is a legend.

Anyway i don't reckon TB would want a statue of himself, where as Dick would probably want one on every side of the stadium and probably put them on sell in the shop.

He just isn't my cup of tea i prefer a man who just get on with it and doesn't feel the need to say look at me all the time.

That could end up being a bit gay though, don't you think?

I want to see a great big Dick in BRONZE just next to a slightly smaller Tony.

I would like to see a big bronze statue of Dick, sitting in a rockiing chair fingering the string from his spectacles with little Tony Bloom perched on his Knee gazing into his mentor's eyes and wispering poem's of gratitude for saving his beloved toy! *




* expects this to be edited into many different scenario's!!........i thank you goodnight!

Sorry double post!

 

[The Large One]

That's kind of why I suggested finding a sculpter/designer who is not necessarily an Albion fan, giving them the lowdown, and see what they suggest in context with the stadium, the history and those who could be recognised.

That is some serious money you're talking about.

There's some fantastic history editing going on on this thread too.

MBE/OBE for services to football?

You HAVE to be joking he should be in the NICK for what He did to US.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Definitely.

Where would we be without Tony Bloom? "In serious trouble..."

Where would we be without Dick Knight? "We wouldn't have a club to be in serious trouble..."

I sort of agree with Voroshilov about the no statue of Dick Knight (or any individual for that matter). If - IF - there had to be a statue (and of course, there doesn't have to be one at all), I would rather it was a symbolic piece of art - representing, say, a soaring seagull or... something.

Now that is sense,as much as I know what DK put into to club and TB and as much as I have gratitude to both of them. We have Dicks Bar and a TB lounge...but no man is bigger than the club...yes I realise that both men saved the club....but a statue of a soaring seagull would be showing that the club is on the way up.

[strings]

Return of the Rev is spot on (never thought I'd say that!). If we have a statue/sculpture at the Amex, it needs to be a tribute to the fans that campaigned to keep us alive, to bring us home to Brighton and then to get us a wonderful new stadium. Dick Knight and Tony Bloom are legends, but our fans - more than any other set of fans in the top two leagues - have fought harder and endured more to be where they are.

Maybe its just the Christmas spirt (port) running through my veins, but I ruddy love all of you. Xx

And give opposition fans ammunition? saying that we are all just plastics who support other teams first? - No thanks

How about a sculpture of the goal posts being torn down during the then abandoned game York game?

We should have this bloke on a Phoenix from the roof of a building in Cadiz. They won't miss it they have plenty in the City.
