made a nice job of the centenary wall,seen mr gremmlin looking at it before the match,had another look today,they are now gonna do phase 2 if anyone fancies buying a brick,i know some said they would if they knew it was going to be a wall.

Walk past it every morning, looks really good.

Sorry for being negative but are you being totally honest when you say that it 'looks good'. It looks shite to me, a complete mess.

I know I will get slaughtered for saying as such but im used to it.

Oh my god, what are you about? It's a wall. How can it look shite?!

Seriously Grave, is there anything in life that makes you smile?

Looks so good, I might get a brick myself.

Well since you put it that way I see your point. Very persuasive and articulate.

Have you actually seen it? Or are you basing it on the one photo that's been posted on here? Or are you basing it on your negative perspective on pretty much everything?

Gibsons Beard · **Posted:** Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:14 pm

Just an example of a sponsored brick wall type thingy off the interweb...

Spot the difference...

See how professional it looks.

Ah didnt see this thread.

Nice touch regarding Paul and Michael I agree but I think it looks awful.

By, the fun you and Grave must have when you get together. Don't ever play pontoon together. :roll:

Don't know about the real thing (you to me are everything) but it looks a bit cheap.

Is that not the real thing in the photo?

I think it's good, its a frigging wall, what do you want from it?

For what it is, a wall, it looks good

I see many walls daily so dont normally comment on them, but for a wall, with the sentiment and stuff, it works

Better than the walk way idea, imagine walking along and seeing a dog shit on your brick surely?

obviously thats an honour, and it'd get a photo of that, but its rare.

LOL, there is an obsession with dog turd on this board!

I doubt many dogs will want to pee up against that wall, not unless they have done a thorough risk assessment anyway

I never used to like dog turd till i posted on here.

Anyone ever see Vic Reeves on room 101 where he had a dog turd calender?

Seriously though... the wall does what it says on the tin, something to look back on, see maidens name, mullens, barron etc

No, yubep it's rubbish, tree and grave have spoken. and their opinion(s) is/are always correct. so tiresome.

Agreed, but it is a bit naff when you consider that its a centerary year event. Sort of like the scoreboard scenario, good idea but flawed (you need a friggin telescope to see it)

ok opinions seem to be split, i'am myself pleased with it we bought a brick in tribute to my brother in law who died nearly 2 years ago,we jumped at the chance because we thought that was what he would have wanted,it seems that some want to take the gloss off it well that is your opinion,so you do not like it you have made abundantly clear so you have took the breeches arse out of it,oh and another thing you have'nt got kids have you cause they are going to have one dismal christmas

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2008 12:41 am

I'm gonna have a walk round tomorrow after work and have a good look at it....if I like it I'm gonna' get one....good to see you can still buy a brick!!!! :coool:

Nice tribute to your brother in law. My point simply is that the wall looks rubbish compared to most sponsored walls/bricks and the like

That's because they've used cheap bricks. It would have only been a couple of quid more to use good ones and for £80 a pop they bloody well should have.

Aye. They haven't used a proper brickie either, look at how thick the mortar is between the bricks. A real bricklayer would top himself if he'd done that.
