Statue for Rimmo

Anybody else feel this is essential? I'm sure the club will have plans for this, costs will obviously be an issue, perhaps it could end up being down to fans to raise funds. How much did that statue of Harold Bird cost? Stick an extra tenner on next years season ticket price?

Or i suppose we could ask Connor to lend us a months wages, then pay him back after we beat Villa in playoff final?

In all seriousness - Statue for Rimmo.

 

did he have a particular seat? Wonder if we could ensure its always left empty? Or take a leaf out of the olympian letter boxes, painted gold in their home towns?

I wonder if a statue would be too grand for the incredible man. Instead something humble.... but something extremely heartfelt?

 

Good point but it's a statue all day long for me.

 

..... in his seat?

 

Yes correct a statue of him sat in his seat

 

For me the best way of remembering Rimmo would be to name the west stand after him.... That way he will always be part of Oakwell.

 

Name the West stand after him.

 

perhaps if his family think so then yes.

I would ask their permission/feelings on this matter.

 

Re: perhaps if his family think so then yes.

I can't imagine they'd object to any form of suitable commemoration.

 

nor do I , but I think it good manners to discuss it with them

Don't you ?

 

Re: nor do I , but I think it good manners to discuss it with them

Why would they?

 

why would they what?

all I am saying is that its good protocol that's all. If someone wanted to put up a plaque to honor my departed Mum or Dad I would be pleased but I would also want them to speak with me first about it.

 

Hopefully it'll get 11 assists from midfield.

No worries apologies if I've offended anyone, I'm not exactly at planning permission stage like, it was just message put on the internet.
