Alan Curtis Statue and Stand 08:10 - Apr 21 with 1636 viewsSTID2017

I think Curt should be honoured in his lifetime by erecting a statue and naming a stand in his honour.
I think the time is right

Would be happy to see both as a deserved tribute to him but the photo with him, Robbie James and Jeremy Charles celebrating evokes a a feeling of togetherness with a winning mentality might make a good statue

A true great of the club. A statue or a stand naming would be awesome but I would vote for renaming Brunel way if he wanted something more subtle.

I agree with the road naming but I would go for the stretch of the A4067 alongside the stadium and name it Alan Curtis Way.

This ^

And a statue, not much to ask, why don't we ask players like burns to chip in seeing as he respects him so much 🙄

or there. I see other clubs naming roads around their grounds after player and that and maybe that's something the club could work on in future with the council. Add a bit of history around the place if you will.

Beyond that crowd funder for the statue?

I think the two ITK peeps (KH & PS on the other forum ) should get together ( metaphorically given the difference in locations ) and get a committees started and get this done.
I dont mind helping out but TBH wouldn't know where to start

I'd prefer that idea. Might get some pushback from the Hairsprays though. They're already an afterthought there. Surrounding their "home" stadium with roads named after footballers won't help.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

That's the thing and some of the roads like Neath road, Cwm level, Siloh etc. have always been there and to change them to Leon Britton street for example I could understand the disgruntlement. Plus I'm sure the Egg would have something to say about it also. Council would probably use that as a defense 'Can't do it unless we have equal rugby player representation'

Imagine that by the players entrance.
What a lasting inspiration

Yes it really would. Perhaps the trust could get in it, do something tangible.

As an Engineer Brunel should not be replaced by Curtis, Brunel's work was in the 1830s and changed the wealth of the whole UK.

Brunel has a University named after him.

I think Mr Curtis means more to our lovely ugly city than Mr Brunel.

As you were …. 🤝

No, Resloven’s right, Killy. It’s impossible to overstate Brunel’s importance to our industrial heritage. The man was a genius, and I don’t throw that description around lightly; and I say that as somebody who adores Alan Curtis.

There’s new building work going on constantly right across the Bay area. There’s plenty of opportunity to name something in his honour. The whole of west Glamorgan and beyond would love to see it happen.

I have no idea but it wouldn't be cheap! It would have to be full size though, if it gets done it has to be done properly!

So who's starting the campaign?

Our American owners might gain some brownie points with us older fans if they give a proper nod to our history, how about naming the away end the "Allchurch stand"? Why not rename the riverside bar "Herbie's"

I guess the problem there is paying for the new signage etc but no sponsorship income! it's usually about money.
