How much for the canvases? I would like to think that the club if they make a profit out of the venture it would be a small one. I feel that £200 for a print would put it out of the reach of quite a few fans.. 1867 prints if that were the figure at £200 each would generate £373400. The article says his paintings sell for a tenth of that. Edited February 22, 2017 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think Fessi might make the cutoff but not the final picture, as for pure entertainment for me he is one of the most exciting players in our history but like you said he's yet to win anything. But if we have too many players from before the 1950's, not many people will be able to relate to the picture and to my way of thinking it will lose some impact.

Also Starling, Dooley I hope so In my opinion, something as special as this, shouldn't be left in the hands of the supporters There is a responsibility for it to show the true legends across our 150 year history Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think it's a little tactless that cold water has been poured on Trevs original idea. Two artists separated by style rather than talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day you are selling to a niche market and the sell on potential would be low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, my first thought as well. Worried Forestieri is going to end up on there, although it would be quite sad in a way if there isn't anyone after the 90's, but I do agree there isn't really anyone who deserves to be.

As I say I think it depends on how many are produced. If what you think happens you are possibly looking at around £500 for a canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they supposed to be collectors items why wouldn't they be expensive...no doubt someone will do knock off prints out for those who want to spend a £10 to get a peice of club history Edited February 22, 2017 by daveyboy66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think legendary status cannot be given to any player who hasn't represented us in the top division, especially on something has important as this. This mural will still be around in 100 years, there is a big responsibility being given out to supporters, and I don't believe we have the knowledge to make a fair assessment. If in 100 years, a supporter researches the history of all the players on this mural, and they see names that haven't represented us in the top division, well if it were myself looking back, I'd be thinking 'how can this be a true reflection of our legends, a couple of these guys weren't even good enough to play in the top division' Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Hopefully the club will come up with a well researched shortlist for the fans to vote on. Can't help but feel that Chansiri will want someone from his era on there though.

Hope so mate I wouldn't mind buying one because it should be a piece of our history reflecting our greats I love what Semedo and Bullen did for us, but with all due respect, I won't be buying a 150th commemorative keepsake if they're on it, and the same goes for Forestieri too, he may become a legend for us, but I don't see it, and definitely not in time for this mural.

Socialist_Owl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Paul Alcock floppin on his arse has to be included. Maybe in lenticular format so you can see a different exaggerated stumble depending on your p.o.v.
