How does it work with assigning a sculptor, have a few been approached to come up with a design then it'll go to a vote? I can remember seeing the comedy effort for Ronaldo in Madeira before it was taken down and replaced. The Co-op have talked to a few sculptors and we do have a preferred option in mind, and she has work exhibited in the National Football Museum in Manchester.
I think that if the money can be raised, we would probably look for a couple of options. It's important to take the wishes of the Bergara family into account, but I would hope that we would be able to put some options to a vote.

Danny Bergara Statue Appeal. An update following yesterday`s launch of the appeal , by Stockport County Supporters Cooperative & Help the Hatters to honour Danny`s name, with a bronze statue sited outside Edgeley Park. We need to raise £50,000 to enable a statue to be commissioned, and the first 24 hours saw the fund total reach £4825 so there`s much more to be done. We hope you will join us in this venture to honour one of Stockport County`s finest! You can do this here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara?utm_term=bzbaGAmQN ….or via our dedicated website www.dannybergarastatue.co.ukStockport County Supporters Cooperative and Help the Hatters

It is long overdue but also think there should be a statue too to Mr Stockport County for 40 years service Trevor Porteous as well as our current past Mr Stockport County Jim Gannon. Both more deserving than Danny. Danny has the main stand named after him, Then there are past players who played their role in our history, Mike Flynn and Kevin Francis. I don’t even know where to start in responding to this.. Wow.

This is a brilliant idea, should definitely be given time to run because obviously money's tight for some at the moment and these things take time.
Would be good to draw attention to the campaign at home games where we'll be expecting the larger attendances, even if it's just someone with a bucket near the ticket office (Although not sure anyone carries cash anymore).

The thing is, if there's no time limit then it'll get there eventually as long as it's regularly promoted. People will likely put in multiple times.

There does seem a bit of apathy with this one. Given it started with £4K already donated. It’s a crying shame if this struggles. Can the club not designate funds from a friendly to this, bigger things like that to get blocks raised?
It’s huge this for me. It’s something that should’ve happened years ago and didn’t despite a few almosts.
Fair play to those setting it up and getting it going now.

It does need something to drive it though, rather than just expecting to raise £50k through goodwill and bucket rattling. Durango is right about a friendly, and I think TRE mentioned something about some merchandise or something to raise funds, that's a great idea. Has an auction been considered? Get people to donate some items (and get the club to weigh in with some prizes) and get them auctioned off. Have Robbie's been approached? Danny's teams did so much to promote the brewery across the country, even across the world. I'd worry about just hoping it'll organically hit £50k through donations, we could still be here in ten years.
