Goodison Statues

[Vintage]

Should the Dixie Dean and Holy Trinity Statues be left in situ after the move to the new stadium, moved to BM or replicas made for the new stadium and the originals kept where they are?
Personally I feel they should be kept where they are and replicas made for the new stadium. Goodison was their stomping ground and where they became Everton legends.
Also, after the Grand Old Lady is gone they would be landmarks and reminders of where she once stood.

I partially agree with you because it's true they are Goodison Park legends, but they're more Everton legends and imo should be at the new place, especially if Goodison will be torn down eventually.

Move them for me. And turn the Dockers Clock into a monument for Bill. Whithout who, none of this would be possible

 

[KaiserEFC]

Leave them be. The new stadium needs the holy trinity of Niasse’s locker, Bolasie’s ACL (running up the touchline of course) and Steve Walsh’s briefcase in Italy

Keep them at their original place. We can't forget our past but moving forward us important. I think we can do with new ones at our new place, including Big Nev, sat againt a goal post

Club > Ground

They are the club's history, they go with the club. Just imagine if we had a statue commemorating our first league title outside Anfield. That lot would be claiming it.

Something with many sides that doesn't work. I'm not sure that would be appropriate

 

[Tim UpperBullen]

If Goodison is knocked down I would definitely move them. If as it seems the women's team are to play at Goodison there is more of a persuasive argument for them remaining

…I’m in no doubt and have posted regularly that those statues should be moved to BMD where they would look stunning and housed securely on the concourse. Those footballers are true icons of Everton Football Club and should be celebrated and seen at the new home of Everton Football Club.

I don’t hear a single argument that remotely sways me against this view.

That would be the unholy trinity.

Their legacies belong at Goodison, so leave them as they are. We need to find new greats to immortalise in statue-form!

 

[Dutch Toffee]

As long as Goodison Park remains as a stadium, I'd leave them there.

Exactly they should be in the fans plaza for the fans to remember, where they will be safe from desecration of destruction from you know who.

They are a huge part of the club.
The club is moving , so should they.

If left where they are after the club has moved they will be vandalised constantly.

Put them loud and proud on the BMD plaza.

I think we should leave the statues where they are. We need new statues, there should be one for Neville Southall, he was the greatest goalkeeper in the world and its crazy that he doesn't already have one and there should be one for Joe Royle, won as a player and manager for us, total legend for me.
