Great to see Roger in robins nest today, great effort considering he is a bit crook of late. Singed for us for todays equivelent of £160,000 at 16!! Funny to hear how he got £5 for a loss, and had to pay tax on that!!
Think we should build a statue of him at the reception of the new stand. Took the Aussies to pieces with 3 tries in his pomp, played 70 mis with a broken jaw, what a true Legend!
Didnt ever see him in the flesh, but my dad has told me about nearly every game he played in, so I feel as though I have!

Totally agree about the statue, dragged our club into the modern era and turned into arguably the best side in the World at the time.

Then stayed too long and buggered it all up???

that was not all down to roger i can tell you about an incident at a home game when i heard roger asking for more money to bring in certain players and was told no chance get on with it if we go down we will come strait back up we all know how long that took don't we so in my mind it was not rogers fault the players we had at the time got old together

What hes done for the club at a player is great, imo i dislike statues about this type of thing so its a big fat no from yours truely.

Why do you dislike statues?

Bit inanimate aren't they.

I dont dislike statues in general, in some cases they make sense-War statues are great for rememberance. I just dont think its needed or warrented at HKR.

We already have them - have you not noticed Welham's tackling technique?

Heres an idea that someone may want to pass on to the club (im to lazy and cant be bothered)
Instead of a statue - which certainly arnt in the plans with the new build, each tower as got a big poster design on it; maybe one on these could be a big one of the dodger in his heydays and just red tint the black and white rustic pic. Would tie in nicely then and would look very good.

Might be a nice idea to throw an open challenge (get a sponsor for a cash prize) to local artists to come up with a painting/muriel with our past greats on it to grace the entrance.

?

Arsenal have done this @ the Emirates.

I think something similar of our past/current greats would look proper bo on the back of the RM stand.

Benefits
[list
❶ You could see it from the flyover
❷ Not just locals but foreigners on their way to York too
❸ There's ample space to do something good on the back of the RM Stand
❹ If done right, it would look proper bo[/list:u

Would improve upon the grey painted iron.

Great idea by yours truely

He is not just a kr legend he is a RL legend, surprised with your post.

Why are Arsenal doing the Poznan? Perhaps it was invented in 1971 and the Poles have nicked it?

[uAnti Troll Deterrent[/u
Arsenal also did this (before some smart [iArsenal[/i know it all comments)

Opportunity for the Mason cardboard cut outs, perhaps?

i,m sure the cost would run into thousands possibly not worth it when one of the selling points you suggest is for German and Dutch pensioners to get a sighting from about 600 metres.

There is no selling point for the proposal - more to decorate the exterior of RM stand from the current bland/dated looking one. It's also a follow up to the suggestion that our proposed red towers should have some sort of club branding in the form of previous players (as in Roger). I was pointing out what Arsenal had done and the back of the RM stand may be a better option than that of a tower. The fact you could perhaps see this from the flyover would be a benefit of the proposed scheme. I've no idea what the outlay would be and doubt very much it would go ahead in any event. But it would look good tho' - in this writer's opinion.

I wouldn't think it would cost much in relation to the £8M+ already being spent, the designs did show that the RM Stand wasn't grey anymore and it seemed to have some windows in it? Why have a banging new stand only for it to be let down by the one adjoining it.

some years ago at a firm i worked for got a lad that worked for them to paint a picture on a large wall for them they gave him the paint and a picture of the picture they wanted and he did it it was brill so why don't rovers ask the supporters if they or anyone they know could do it for them for maybe a season ticket you never know someone might have the skill and they can do it if it stops raining
