Statues

The Maz will soon look like the Roman colosium. So far statues to J.B.Christie, Rod Taylor, Jimbo, and K.E. have been mentioned that I remember. Surely D.A. must be added to the list.

Could probably get both Rod and Derek for the same price as Jimbo

I find it a disgrace the lack of a mention Graham Howse always gets.

All of those aforementioned are certainly the best of the ‘club legends’, but I don’t like the idea of a statue when someone’s alive and/or contributing to the club. First one should be JB Christie in my mind.

If you’re giving one to Kev, surely you’ve got to give one to Wildig as well. Stayed professional throughout it all, 8th season at the club, survived L2 relegation battles, won promotion to L1, captained us to the results that have kept us in L1.

Was Derek's master stroke making wilding captain and that's what turned us around.

I think Derek has a long way to go before he matches "JB"'s contribution to the club!!!

JBs has a double edged meaning, so more chance of that remaining

Still prefer “Derek’s” either that or a statue of the man outside the main stand. “We’re a right good side” scrolled on the plaque.
