Obviously today's news is very sad indeed and all our thoughts are with the Jenkins family.
I personally feel it would be a fitting tribute to the Dale Legend to have a stand at Spotland named in his honour. He is one of our greatest heroes!
Now I know the club would maybe feel they're losing out on potential revenue - but I'd happily help to contribute, and I'm sure if all fans would, we wouldn't be too far off? Maybe even a trust thing?
A true Dale legend, he needs remembering!
Up the Dale!

Perhaps this is the pessimist in me but wouldn't a statue most likely get vandalised/defaced in some way? It'd be a horrible sight if that were to happen plus it'd add to the costs of maintaining it/repairing it etc... |  |

It seems that they start at about 18 grand and go up to about 37 grand depending on the sculptor and materials used.
There are also high end statues like the United Trinity statue which will set you back atleast 100k |  | | |

A statue does not have to be outside the ground. It could be placed inside, maybe the reception area. |  | | |

Where only a few see it?! That would be a waste of money.
If you are going to go to the lengths of raising thousands you might as well get your money's worth.
A Statue at the entrance to Spotland on Sandy Lane would be seen not only by most fans every match-day but also every time you drive past. Gets my vote (and contrubution) if it's done right.
I'd stick it here:
