sorry the title should read vote for Matt

[Saint Garrett]

Charlie Dimmock?!?!

 

Craig David?!?!? WTF

[The Kraken]

I voted for Craig David.

[The9]

I voted for King Knut and Matt Le Tiss. One of them at least would appreciate being dumped out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but an oncoming tide to keep them company.

[dubai_phil]

I voted for Pete Waterman.

 

 

 

Oh

[Hatch]

I voted for Emily Davis the feminist, suffragist and a pioneering campaigner for women’s rights .

 

Bless her. I bet she had nice tits as well.

[Thedelldays]

craig david, chris packham....LOL

[Spudders]

Why is there not an option for Porstmouth fans, they deserve a statue

[derry]

Good job there are three statues. A footballer, you must be joking. For me RJ Mitchell, designed the Spitfire the outstanding fighter of the war. Died of cancer not long after he got the prototype flown. It made the difference in the battle of Britain. Only 1/3 by numbers over the Hurricane but it was superior to the Bf109 the best German fighter due to it's wing and all metal construction. Famous German fighter leader Adolph Galland was asked by Goering during the battle if he wanted anything, his famous reply, 'Spitfires'.

I vote for Nicola Cortese

[the stain]

He may be your foe, but he's not mine. More Anti MLT agenda on SWF.

[trousers]

Why is it split into two seperate votes? Am I missing something? (apart from a few marbles)

 

Just watch Charlie Dimmock soar to the top once our friends down the road get wind of this poll

those extra 48 votes wouldn't make much difference.

[Hatch]

Le Tiss isn't from Southampton though.

[rpb]

No Benny Hill or Charles Dibden!

[The Kraken]

Le Tiss isn't from Southampton though.

 

Neither is Charlie Dimmock.

[SNOWY]

What no Lucy Pinder

[CB Saint]

MLT shouldn't be in the poll as I am sure the club will do the necessary on the statue front

[CB Saint]

Chris Packham, Chris effing Packham, Hundreds of years of history and that is the best we can come up with!!!!

[Mattio]

I assume a few are comedy entries, my friend is related to Dimmock so had to put a vote in for her and I actually went for RJ Mitchell over MLT

[VectisSaint]

Thanks for pointing this out, voted for Mitchell, far more deserving than MLT. I would have thought Terry Paine was just as good an option as MLT anyway. Ted Bates would have been the most obvious football related candidate, but of course there are already a couple of statues of him. Appalled that Ken Russell didn't even make the shortlist.

[This Charming Man]

Charlie Dimmock? Haha.

[RedAndWhite91]

Le Tiss isn't from Southampton though.

 

Neither is RJ Mitchell. Or King Canute. Or Jane Austen.

 

It's a ******** place to put a statue too. A statue of RJ Mitchell would be fitting for the city of Southampton cos of the Spitfire, but surely it'd be better at the airport where the Spitfire first flew or in Woolston where the factory was?

 

As for Craig David, Charlie Dimmock... What the **** is all that about?

[Hatch]

Why not Ted Bates,

 

there must be a spare statue knocking about somewhere.

[Saint86]

Le Tissier, or the guy who designed the spitfire. Are they not the 2 obvious choices followed in all likelihood by Jane McFlange Austin? Tough one for me. Canut gets the vote for the top half at least!!

surprised scott mills is also not on the list...ffs

Have you seen the price of bronze recently?

Why no Benny Hill!?

[trousers]

[Tokyo-Saint]

David Craig all the way.

[The Kraken]

Just to point this out..............

 

When it says "statue"; well, its a statue in the very loosest sense. Firstly, it'll be in 2D. So forget any recreation of the (new) Ted Bates outside St. Mary's. Secondly, its going to cost £5,000. For 3 of them.

 

Basically its going to end up being a shoddily erected plank of MDF with a spray on stencil.

[SuperMikey]

Jane Austen, RJ Mitchell and MLT for me.

[Bearsy]

The Jane Austen one should be lols considering no-one knows what she looked like.

[Hatch]

and as it is a cycle route, why no mention of Dani King, Olympics and World gold galore.

This. Save the money and build an established military museum of Southampton.

Its £5,000. With that type of money the only museum you'll get is a second hand shed and a bag full of gear from the army surplus store.

[Tokyo-Saint]

What about a Craig David Museum? Open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays?

And you'd have the Pompey club shop suing you for copying their retail model.

They've acquired a shed now? Moving on up....

Oh my giddyup, I was right. It's going to be some shoddily erected MDF planks with naff spray on stencilled images! Brilliant.

 

That looks absolutely absurd!! They make the original Ted statue look reasonable :lol:

[Miltonaggro]

She looked like Eva Braun...

[Tokyo-Saint]

Craig David it is then.

 

[Badger]

No Isaac Watts ?

 

As deserving as Jane Austen surely ?

[Mattio]

Surprised there's no Florance Nightingale to be honest with the crap that's on there!

[Ohio Saint]

CHARLIE DIMMOCK

One of Britain’s most recognisable faces

 

 

FACES? Tits maybe, face, no.

[Turkish]

I think this really highlights that lack of quality celebritities that come from Southampton. We dont even have anyone who's been on X Factor to nominate FFS.

What about Kai Widdrington from Britain's got talent? Could have his dad too. BTW should be Benny Hill.

[VectisSaint]

Not a problem if the same guy who did the 1st Ted Bates statue does it. Just make it up and as long as it doesn't look like Milan Mandic who would know (or care)
