The Statue of Cloughie should be moved from Albert Park to Riverside Stadium so it's safe.. Do you agree?

The metal on one of the ankles of the statue has cracked, the council haven't properly repaired it and are blaming that on Covid.

Have signed it, but what a mess about trying to do it so many screens to click through etc.

Yeah I think it should be moved to the Riverside
I ALSO THINK a fund should be started for Steve Gibson Statue - he might as well see it while he is alive

Could we not offer Derby a few quid for theirs???
Quick edit, obviously for their statue of Cloughie, not any of the effigies they have of Stevie Gibson

If we were to have a new statue of anyone, first in the queue for recognition without doubt should be George Camsell.Yeah I think it should be moved to the Riverside

Agree with both your points, although I'm still crowdfunding for my Mickaël Debève statue...

Where it was erected is where it should stay. If Boro fans want a statue of Clough near to the ground they should pay for one.

I don't think that's the point of the petition.
It's repeatedly suffered damage to the ankle and is structurally unsound.
Rather than repairing it properly the council have had ugly metal fencing around it for years.
That's less likely to happen at the Riverside.
I'd have no problem with it remaining in Albert Park if the council actually fixed and maintained it.

Agreed, although this is a relocation rather than a new statue. I always liked the idea of an avenue of heroes. If we get back in the prem then it's a great feature to add to the uniqueness of our stadium.
Add a new one every 5 years or so. Start with Camsell, then onto Delepenha (first black player), Alf Common (worlds first £1,000 player), Tiny Tim Williamson (record appearances for Boro), Steve Bloomer (england legend), Jackson Ewbank (first goal scorer), Fenton, Peacock, Jim Platt, Graeme Souness, Willie Maddren, Stuart Boam, Sir Bruce of Rioch, Bernie, then finally onto the modern legends Juninho and Southgate being the obvious ones.

Then perhaps that should be argued for. Petition the council to repair it properly

It was designed and placed there for a reason (if i recall correctly it depicts him walking from his digs to Ayresome Park for training) so to move it doesn't make sense.
Not sure the damage has been caused by vandals (as Bernie suggests) but just because it isn't correctly and safely fixed in place. Just put that right and leave it where it is

It was from his home wasn't it?

Yes you could be right. I know he was definitely being depicted walking to training so it is positioned as such that he is walking away from home to the ground
