At last the damaged badge at the back of the North stand is to be removed and replaced with a new metal badge in our club colours - fact - it is on the club website!

    Ground sharing going ahead, then?

    Wasn't this supposed to be quite expensive and not an important issue as finances were needed elsewhere. Or is it cheaper putting a metal one up rather than repairing the original.

    Either way its quite confusing considering were having money problems.

    The badge will be removed via controlled manual demolition

    I have just walked passed and they already have the Lion up on the wall and there was a big Eagle laying on the ground that looked next

    Would have cost around £50k to replace.

    I agree that it is very confusing.

    Not the actions of a club about to go into administration and/or leave the Valley?

    It's going to be made of aluminium which should be a lot cheaper.

    Good news surely. And if PHB are sponsoring then well done them, and I don't see any cause for concern. It was a nice idea that didn't quite work in the long term - a bit like Rommedahl!

    One thing the club should be made aware of.
    If it's to be made in a metal of some kind then a mould will have to be made.
    We need to establish if the mould remains the property of the club or the company who make it....costs a bit more for the former but could well prove a saving in the long run.
    Catch 22 in our present condition?

    They could grind it up and use it to fill in the potholes?

    Me too...I actually chipped it off myself shortly after the wall came down....bloody hell it was tough as nails and a real bugger to get even the smallest piece.

    Aah, I remember my night in Berlin with my hammer & chisel, knocking a nice big lump out of the wall. However, the guy whose house it was part of didn't seem to appreciate it too much...................
