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
Just looked at the webpage. They cannot even properly align the five letters A-E that label the diagrams. How can they be trusted to design a set of gates.

You ungrateful little shit. You have no comprehension as to what the club has gone through here. The gate maker said he could knock em up for about five grand and would draw up 5 designs for nuffin.
The club have worked for hours scanning the designs from the back of his fag packet and have coloured them in really nicely. But are you grateful? Oh no, not you. You have to find something to criticise. Something so damm picky. Well thank you very much! This will be the very last time they will bother to consult us again and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!
What about a bit of rusty corrugated iron? Served the old Valley well. Chuck a bit of ancient and lethal barbed wire into the equation and VOILA! we have a perfect representation of what these Belgian fucks have done to our football kloob.
To be fair to the club, apart from the fact that they can't assemble a balanced squad during a transfer window (to which I gave up on about 18 months ago) this is the first piece of idiocy I can recall this season, and it's already mid October. Anyone know who is "project managing" this, is it Tone?

As Big T was behind the scoreboard fiasco I can only assume so
Many thanks for your email, we really appreciate the feedback.
We have had some really useful responses around the design and the wording which will be incorporated to create some final designs for consideration.
On the request of fans, the process has now been extended with the deadline for feedback now October 20th. We agree that it is important to make sure the gates are right especially given they are to be a permanent feature to pay tribute to the club’s historic return to The Valley.
Therefore, the designs will be adjusted based on the fan feedback and presented, for review, to a working group of fan representatives ahead of the AFC Wimbledon game on October 28th in a similar process to the kit consultations on this season’s and next season’s kit.

Was just about to post the same reply.
Credit to Charlie (who has taken over as supporter liason now Lisa Squires has left) for replying and to whoever made the decision to have something resembling a proper consultation (see my post above about Hummel).

Charlie is a she.

You have to prepare for all eventualities in life. I remember a particular night in the back streets of Naples...
Well done Henry for bringing this up. It's communication like this that the club are missing. At least it has now been accepted that consultation with the fans is a good way forward but ridiculous they didnt think about this in the first place. I guess the club will never learn with KM and Tone taking charge.

Credit to the Trust who out it on twitter where I saw it.
With zero expectations I emailed a (somewhat) measured critique of the proffered designs and the quoted timescale. I am pleasantly surprised to report I got a reply thanking me for my contribution and stating that the consultation period has been extended, a bit. Feels like daisy's not got her hands on this one, which is a plus.

I'd choose E. meself
D and E both have "welcome" which seems a bit incongruous on a locked 15' gate.
I think painting them red was a good idea. Well done to who ever came up with that!

Sounds familiar somehow?

It helps to listen.

@nug I'm hoping that you can work up some better designs before 20/10
