A truly great idea and I just hope we can get enough donations to put up a lasting tribute at the stadium for Cloughie. Nobody will ever replicate what David Clough did for RAFC and what a brilliant idea to place a statue on his seat.
Hopefully this is something that even non-Dale fans will appreciate and want to donate towards. |  | |  |

Brilliant idea and very well deserved. Cloughie entertained my father in law in Mona Cliffs and he never lost his humour and love of the Dale.
I think the funds will be raised so worth someone picking up with the club to ensure they are ok with it. Maybe one for his estate executors? |  | | |

Fantastic idea for a great man.
Hopefully some of the present and ex players with large social media followings could get involved & share the post? | | | |

A great idea to which Iāve donated to, however and this might address Suggerās point, I canāt see the plan of retiring a seat and having a statue/structure placed in the seat being allowed, itāll be possibly deemed to much of a blockage /hazard in an emergency evacuation procedure . I could of course be wrong but donāt be surprised if the original proposal isnāt allowed. [Post edited 29 Jan 2021 19:39]

Good lad, Chalky. Please don't make a cheque out to Cloughies statue.
What will you spend next weeks winnings on? |  |

Luke Matheson has just donated Ā£100. Another anonymous donor has donated Ā£200, the total is over Ā£1800 already. | | | |

We've decided to double the target amount to Ā£5000.
Two reasons, we didn't think we'd get anywhere near Ā£2500 but thanks to the generosity of the fans we're nearly there already.
Secondly, you can do these things on the cheap, or with style. We think Cloughie deserves style. We're not being mercenary! |  |

Fans say nobody will ever emulate Cloughie's achievements again.
I agree. His efforts, his will, his paying in every week and so on was probably worth around Ā£1m over his life and death.
The only way a fan can now trump Cloughie is to win the lottery, and chuck Ā£1m in without any reward, or thanks. | |

Chalky's the man for that, given his winning streak. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

Nearly enough to put a cheeky bid in to Bradford for Niall Canavan......some of his defending here (and more recently v Plymouth) was statuesque to say the least!!!! [Post edited 30 Jan 2021 9:02]

He won't be on his own in that regard! Target of Ā£2,500 now reached, so upwards and onwards towards Ā£5,000.
If fans can keep pushing footballers - particularly ex Dale players - to help promote the campaign, that would ensure we can get the statue Cloughie deserves.
Football is nothing without people like David Clough. | | | |

Fully agree and I was always taught if you don't ask you don't get, so I asked Humps to include it in his next vlog and sent the two links in the OP to the beeb to see if they'll cover it. Might all come to naught but worth trying to spread the word. Come to think of it I'll try Sky Sports too |  |

Good initiative, and I hope the organisers don't mind but I've emailed the story to the BBC, addressed to Football Focus, Match of the Day and also to Radio Bolton. Gonna send to Granada Reports.
I've also suggested that I can put them in touch with the organisers rather than go through the club. Again, hope the organisers are OK with this. | |

Radio Bolton did mention the scoreboard story yesterday so canāt see why they wouldnāt mention a follow up. | | | |

Had a semi-automated reply from the BBC to acknowledge my email has been read and passed on to the relevant staff, but that they may not access the information until tomorrow.
Meh. | |

Asked a mate if he'll post links on Imps MB.
Anyone post on Liverpool, City or Utd MBs too? | |
