Divide the cost of the stone by 10 years, cheap as chips.

You can't divide the emotional connection to the stone you purchased.

The club are covering themselves legally against possible future claims. In PR terms, they will relocate, repair, replace as appropriate, but they have avoided a legal requirement to do so.

I didn't know that and thought the same as DangerScouse about the name then. 10 years doesn't seem very long. I can see both sides to a degree - moving them would be one things, but destroying them?!!!  >:( :butt

More likely than not they will be there for more than 10 years.

Quote
we can only guarantee that they will be in the location for 10 years. This is the minimum period, but we have every reason to believe they will be there for many more years to come.

It's probably covering themselves for stadium expansion/redevelopment/move etc.

And the "destroy" line my guess would relate to if there's some offensive message that they've missed that gets laid.

It's just legal jargon for the club to cover their arse in future.

They may have to be relocated for any number of reasons.  For all we know, there could be 'services' that run under ground in that location, that may have to be dug up at a later date.

They may to choose for one reason or another, to redevelop the surrounding area around Anfield, again, at a later date.

As for the 'destruction' of stones.


Lets say they decided to relocate or remove them at a later date, and said that people could come and claim the stone (for a small fee, I'm sure  ;)  ) for themselves.

Lets say 99% of peole claimed them, but for one reason or another, many weren't claimed.  What are the club to do, store them indefinitely? Of course not.
The club would store them for a limited time, then dispose of them.

Then, lets say, after storing them for a few years, they were disposed of.  Then lo and behold, a few years after thet someone came forward to claim a stone, after it had been destroyed!

So the 'destroy or dispose of' element, is just legal jargon to cover their arses at a later date.

Mine's not great as my name is long so wouldn't fit on one line. Have a look at the max letters etc per line so you know how many are "spare". Spaces count too.

Wonder where these will go as I thought it was full now.

The link on the homepage no longer works so I'm guessing they have no plans to do any more? Maybe something with the next expansion? Kinda annoyed I didn't get one in the first place.

Network Rail are taking up the slack with a chance to commission a spray-painted message on bridge walls in the approach to Lime Street. I’ve already requested “Fuck Off Leeds” but I believe that “Cockneys Die” has been adjudged to be no longer acceptable.

Not sure i'd call it "wool". A group of us bought one for a friend that took his own life a number of years ago. Liverpool was his life and we walk over to his stone every time we're at Anfield, almost like we're continually paying our respects to him. We brought his mum to a game earlier in the season and she was really taken back by it, in a good way.

Each to their own though.

My missus has got one at Goodison.

I called her a wool too :)

The club need to jetwash or clean the ones outside the Main Stand. We have one and they're all so muddy and dirty now. A real shame.

I imagine they will once winter is over. Problem with doing it now is they'll be back to being filthy after the next game.

They were dirty at the start of this season (and 19/20 too I think) so hadn't been done in the summer

me neither, i did email earlier and she came back with a 'rough' map of where the stone is. she also said not all of them have been installed. i guess they've just not notified anyone yet officially.

I was in the first group by the Main Stand.

I was sent an email with the location area of where my stone was installed. Only took me a few minutes to find it when I went to look for it.

So be patient would be my advice.

My team in work bought me one nearly 2 years ago, something like Happy Birthday JC, Best Boss, :D, anyway I still haven't been told if it's been laid or where it is. You get a reference number then use that to locate it eventually.
