I'm no artist or the like but here is my effort, a modified idea from Wrawbz.  I though we should make use of both gates, keeping it simple will be more striking.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Jesus’ disciple Peter, picked up a fish to get the tribute money from it, Jesus left his thumb print on the fish, bless'ed is the Haddock.

Quoted from Dan

Just because someone plays football it doesn't make them a footballer.

Coming from the heart, not being professional and not having a slick end product is not something I'd accept on the pitch, and it's not something i'd like scrawled on the gates. These things permeate through everything we do.

I'm not making this a personal attack. Not once I have said anything personal except in response to one on me. All i've said is that in my opinion, someone's work isn't good enough, and you'll get this at many points in your professional life. Fortunately I'm not the one commisioning it.


You really are one supercillous twit

I'm in Swvon atm and can't be bothered to go through all the past comments.. What's going on? I've already sent my money off... I thought I was paying £5 just for Ric hand Matts names on a gate? Is this to hard to ask?.. I thank you Wrabz for your effort and idea's, but surely all it needs is their names on not a big art design?

In a nutshell...

The gate's going to be named after Richard and Matt, but just for a year. Pledges have so far reached £347, and most people have already paid.
The club asked if we could give the gate a lick of paint, and we were looking into the idea of something a bit more interesting, but the club have come back and said that won't be possible (I think Wrawby is going to update us on that later).

Maybe next year we should aim to raise enough to pay for a five year lease on the gates and a clause for a space if we move grounds . Surely if we raised a grand thru donations and collections, the club would accept a guaranteed lump sum. We could then include small mementos of all fans that have recently passed away including Icey!

There's a whisper that there might already be discussions going on behind-the-scenes for a permanent memorial like that.

Not that it matters now, but I liked that design mate, simple but said everything it needed to.
