Does look a bit like CACT Primary school project. its a shame as the development and involvement on the kit design seemed to have worked really well. No real favourites amongst them, but def no to A. As it will need to be changed every year to avoid looking silly.
I assume these gates will be on one side of the club shop?
The problem with gates there, is that on matchdays, they'll be fully open and nobody will see them anyway unless the message is over the top, and not on the opening section, as with the Shankly Gates
I like the idea - but do coaches sometimes go through this one?
If that's not an issue then this would get my vote
I'd also say that the black/gold colouring would look much, much better than the red options being suggested. The scousers are as red as we are and didn't feel the need to throw a tin of red paint over everything.

I'm sure Jacko and Bowyer will be able to fit underneath

Agree with "killerandflash"........top of gate should just have "The Valley - Floyd Road" all other designs offered by club are very poor and to give a few days for fans to respond shows the usual appreciation of "customers" input. Really weird.
Have sent my reply to the club as below................
I would like to firstly make a couple of points................
Why is the consultation period so short (in terms of fans responses) Why has this only been done through CAST Surely something should have been done via the website and even via the matchday magazine
With regard to the actual design options offered, I think they are all very poor and show very little imagination. My preference (if you need to waste even more money on something that is not required) would be for a separate panel to be added to the existing gates (take a look at the Shankly Gates @ Liverpool FC) with just the words THE VALLEY, FLOYD ROAD
"As the gates are open when the vast majority of people see them, would it not be a good idea to have a design option where the message is not split in two when they are open?
As anniversary gates, any design not incorporating the date is clearly not appropriate.
3 days for people to give feedback is nowhere near enough, there should be at least one home game in which to get the message across to all fans."
Too difficult for these f****** to hand out leaflets at a home game, ask the fans to return their favoured gate and then go from there.

What is the obsession with ‘My only desire’? It seems to appear on all of them.
Because it's lyrics from a song. Liverpool have "you'll never walk alone" so PR Tom or whoever knocked up these designs in his lunchtime thought it would be good.

Come on, own up! Who has got one of the old fence top swords?
Until we move to the Peninsula of course.
Is this the pr mob trying to prove their worth ? Looks like they spent a long time over that then.
Shame, because its a nice idea actually.
