Goodison Statues

[miami]

I think we need to celebrate our teethy steward who clipped the wings of the protester at goodison with a new statue. His determination and focus in the face of adversity was suitably admirable.

If it is then with a quieter area once we move out, they would be at risk of theft.

They will be left to the wolves mate ....

 

[Joey66]

I think that’s defeatist, Joey.

I don’t want us to erase all trace of our footballing existence in Walton.

You clean paint, you repair statues. You don’t let that lot dictate where in the city we can leave our well-earned mark.

We are now owned by multi-billionaires they need to be moved ... end of ....

 

[Joey66]

So we clean them.

The threat of vandalism is a pretty cowardly reason to retreat from our footballing legacy in L4.

Cost - cheaper to move them mate .....

 

[Joey66]

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

It's not though is it ? the plans already done ....

 

[Joey66]

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

Goodison's going to be demolished though ....

MIPIM | Everton’s advice to Manchester United? Don’t deviate - Place North West

Sports-led redevelopment has been a key theme of MIPIM, with both Liverpool and Manchester touting stadium projects at the conference.

Doesn't seem to me that they are in a hurry to tear it down

Holograms are the future !

People have had their ashes or part of spread I think at the site of both statues in L4, particularly the Dixie one - while there are also memorial plaques for Blues lost.

For me the compromise is just commissioning new statues for BMD.

Be loath not to leave something lasting in L4 in addition to the above.

The Dixie state is only there since the early 00’s the HT one just a few years - I don’t think they’ve had the longevity to be iconic that replicas can’t be made.

If I’m honest, I want the statues at both sites.

They aren’t being moved, Joey.

The plan has always been to leave them where they are.

 

[Lmc2016]

Daft to move them, we can just commision more for BMD, not just a case of only having them in one place. Very much a case of us being able to have our cake and eat it.

Even if Goodison was to be flattened, they would be a permanent reminder in history long after we're all gone about Everton, and would be well looked after with EitC & many blues in the area. With Goodison likely staying now in some form for the Womens team, even more reason to keep them.

Completely removing them, just abandons one more patch of the city to the RS and erases abit of our history
