Diogo Jota Mural was £2000 the rest of the money invested into an LFC programme

 

Thoughts and ideas?

I'd gladly chip in for a mural that says "FUCK OFF VENKYS" in 10 foot high letters.

Rochdale Town Centre has just had some fabulous gable end murals painted  Some of those artists would do a great job.

How do you go about getting it set up. Permission from the homeowners presumably for a start?

My ex was one of the artists for that. She’s recently done the skate park at Great Harwood too. I’ll try and glean some info.

Brilliant 👍🏻 would be nice to get the ball rolling on it

There have been lots done in Morecambe, these have been done by Deco Publique who organise the Festival of Making and are based in the Making Rooms by the Museum. I‘m sure they’d have lots of information on the planning side of things

The murals I referred to are huge and usually on the sides of public buildings.

Alot were done in Blackburn so a local artist would be a good place to begin also but ideas welcome styles etc permission is first and foremost

Who would you like to see on a mural? 

I'd like to see Shearers signature celebration, #9.

Something from yesteryear 

Something unique to us displaying the artists skill and intuition perhaps 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

The first two are from yesteryear unfortunately.

Great this, on the boulevard:

‘I just turned up and did the mural, no idea how it works behind the scenes’.

Useless as ever.

So useless you traded her in for a dingle 😁😁

You could possibly contact prism in the town centre.

 

They have a mural at the back of their building + have commissioned others in the area too. Jamie Holman is likely a good bet to contact.

We once got a quote from here: https://www.themuralartists.com/

 

For the side of the house that you can see from the fox & hounds beer garden. Think it was close to £3,000 with plant hire. Was the image of Jack Walker & Shearer with the Premier League trophy.

What happened to the idea

I don't think raising 2-3k would be too difficult tbh especially that people can get some joy out of it once completed, also adds to atmosphere.  I think in the new I wouldn't mind spear heading the idea if others would like to jump onboard

[...]

Reason why all this has come about for me personally, honestly?

Just want a sense of pride back in the area. 

If people are begrudgingly hauling their backsides down there atleast try and keep the flicker of pride alight some way somehow.

Was driving down Alan Shearer way today.... 

Why not have some Rovers flags flying high from each lamp post (did it with St George's!) Or even something displayed on the lamp posts (not sure of their name)

The area closest the ground needs some "Roverising"

And something unique to us that the current owners can’t attach themselves to. After all they did say they would cherish Jack’s legacy, let’s see if they do then. I won’t hold my breath that they give permission!!

The murals aren't their decision or permission only thing that lends itself to them is copyright but I'm pretty sure the town of Blackburn holds more weight in ownership to anything that goes on the walls more than they ever will

If this does happen please don't get whoever did the one near the fox and hounds to do it as that's terrible
