SweeperDee Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Good stuff. Where will he be displayed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Get him in the BC beside the Anderlecht ball and our flag. It'll be a great wee place for kids etc to take pictures. Afterall, it is supposed to be the 'family stand'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Other forum has us as having a RB, Jens Janse on trial. Wonder if we will play him up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycoxblue Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 United one went for £16k. I know Nelmsy is putting some money to help bid for it but I think we are out of our depth here. To be fair , there also using oor willie at left back..His wages being paid in mince and tatties [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money collected in recent weeks combined with some private donations and DFCSS money bought the sculpture. DFC and its supporters actually ended up contributing £20k to the Archie Foundation. £8k from the club to sponsor it and £12k from the supporters to buy it. Out of our depth? A job well done by all for a great cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be blind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A job well done by all for a great cause. Nelms did contribute through private donation as far as I'm aware. It was him that asked DFCSS to try and secure it for the club. ETA: 100% well done. When I seen how much the United one went for and who purchased it combined with how much we had raised, even with private donations - I thought we'd struggle. Great news that we did get it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu2910 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Might be a little biased as I never sit in the Bobby Cox stand but can't help thinking it would be better to have the statue outside the stand, far enough away from the road to allow cars to still park at the shop. Would be a great meeting and photo point on match days and allows visiting fans the chance to see it too.We don't have any bronze statues outside Dens, so this is the next best thing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the OF fans would destroy it; that, or some rabid, jakeball United fans would do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I put a Dundee top with a message written on it up outside the Bobby Cox end after he passed away. It was gone within half an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakedee Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sitting beside the new "executive boxes" in the South Enclosure would allow most to see him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the best spot would be behind the dug-outs in line with the centre line, you would obviously have him on some kind of plinth, and then everyone could see him, would look good on televised games as well. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an-dee Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Put him in the club shop. Keeps it safe from vandals but still makes it accessible for everyone to get photos with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Surely has to be in the shop. Gives everyone the chance to see it and might bring in some additional business. And if it's in there it's not exposed to elements or vandals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
