An excellent proposal but out of my price range. Good luck with this, a fitting tribute to a real Trinity legend.

I am also aware that not everyone can access computers so please pass this on so everyone can get behind the project.
I will be placing something on the website, contacting local press and Ridings FM. Once we have confirmed and been given the green light i will be cordinating an evening where Graham, Neil and myself where we will be present and providing more details.

Same here, however I see no reason why we as a group can't contribute fiver or tenner. Maybe through Squadbuilder or Wisca?
Just as important IMO is that if/when we leave BV there is a permanent memorial on that site to remind all future generations as to the deeds that were once seen there. |

What about raffling one off 6.50 a ticket max of 100 tickets makes it affordable for the average fan and you have a 1 in 100 chance of winning so the odds are attractive

I know people who cant afford the said amount are looking at purchasing the package as a family. This would allow the family name to be present on the granite FOR EXAMPLE The FOX Family.
Additionally the signed maquette will have a value to it as these will be a limited edition.
I have received 3 emails already with confirmed purchases, so thank you

Need to try businesses also.

After a meeting with Davide to discuss this prior to going public, i was extremely excited about the project. We all know that Neil is a Legend and fully deserves this accolade! Davide has always wanted to do something like this and with us moving on strongly with the stadium it seems the perfect time.
I appreciate initially it seems like a big investment but it can be broken down into monthly installments or even shared amongst a family.
I will be backing this with my Dad and Sister as the Amos Family and will be able to look at the Statue and say i played a part in this for many years to come!!
We have a rich heritage in Wakefield as a RL Club and the Neil Fox Sculpture would represent Neil as a person and RL Record Holder...
What a great Guy and i hope people are able to get involved

| This needs to be pushed, Neil Fox is not only a legend but a legend down under. I had the privalage to talk to Graham Langlands a few years back, and he said, Fox was his all time great, and coming from that bloke it does not get any bigger than that.
Dav, let me know when you want the brass, and its yours.
ps, can I have 2 99's, a cornetto, and a double scoop please, put some bits and strawberry source on too !  |

Just to keep you posted, I have already received 10 confirmed purchases with around 35 people on Sunday who said that they will commit to a purchase.
I am obviously very happy that i am nearly half way there with very little effort but i really want to keep this in the public eye.
If you want to purchase the package contact me on 07739884370 or email davidelongo@wakefieldwildcats.co.uk |

Graham Ibbeson's work is really good. The Dicky Bird statue is a remarkable likeness and the new Fred trueman statue that's hopefully going to be unveiled in Skipton is his best yet.

Reckon it will be the image that someone uses on here as an avatar, of him plonking it down in the corner, going towards the camera.

The funding is not complete, we have a process to follow and hopefully the commissioning of the maquette will be authorised soon. We have around 20 people who have confirmed there purchase of the Elite Membership Package, the Wakefield Council are obviously showing an interest and we have some events pencilled into the diaries.
This will be no easy challenge and raising the money (£70,000) will need some generosity and hard work but how ever long it takes the Neil Fox Fund Committee to raise the money, we are determined to make Neil Fox and the rest of his team mates proud.
The sculpture will symbolise success at the highest level, a world record and the golden era. THe package we have proposed is fantastic and granted it may seem expensive to some but seeing the maquette of Don Revie on Tuesday really made the package feel like it's worth every penny.
If you would like anymore information on the Elite Membership Package please contact Davide Longo or Mick Amos on 01924 211611
