The raffle prizes are listed with information on how to buy raffle tickets and donate to the mural fund.

Arrangements are under way for an online vote to take place in early December for BFC fans to decide which of the 5 mural designs is going to be chosen.

Scaffolding is coming down any day now and barring adverse weather conditions if the wall dries out we hope work will start in early / mid December … 👍👍

UTP - 🙏🙏🧡🧡⚽⚽
 
I'd vote 3 if it was just Jimmy in front of the Kop with a blue sky. Probably easier to paint as well 😁
 
I think I'll have to choose 4 and that would be even better if his shirt could be colourised.
 
Love the iconic pose of 3, but 4 for me, Sir Jim: from boy to man, one club, one Love. ⚽⚽
 
5 for me as it proudly displays Jimmy in that beautiful shirt which will stand out like a bright tangerine 🍊 beacon.
 
There has already been a break in and a couple of other incidents at the Armfield. I really hope all this hard work doesn't get spoiled by some little tramp spraying a load of graffiti all over it.

Great work by all involved though. The Armfield Club is a credit to BFC and it's supporters.

PS- design number 4 for me. Closely followed by number 5.
 
Looks like the 5's to the right have it.

Any news on the war room? Was it done or is it still to be done?

It could do with a camera on it (even a fake one) and a spot light should anyone walk up right by it in the dead of the night. I thought when light goes off it bellows "move away from Jimmy or the muckers will break your legs and shove your spray can where the sun don't shine".... but the last bit might be a tad ott :)

I would hope no tossers would but least this would deter anyone who are thinking about it defacing it.
 
Hopefully the 5 designs will be going up on line for a public vote next week.
Will stick a message up here when the technical aspects are all sorted out.
Once that's done the artist will take feedback to perfect the final design.

COYK !
 
Number 4 but with a classic badge. (I.e. the patch type that featured on the 53 shirt) - it's a really cool design but the modern shape of the badge looks incongruous with the classic pictures.

It's going to be ace this. I've never actually set foot in the AC (no reason other than I'm always driving) but even I can feel what it's added to the vibe - coming down Bloomfield and seeing this will be ace 👍
 
Can't say any of those compositions are great TBH. The eye is drawn to the sponsors board and the Bloomfield Road sign, Looking at images of Jimmy there are plenty of full length or even half body shots which could be the focal point in tangerine all more suited to the portrait format. Then definitely a reference to England. What has the FA Cup win got to do with Jimmy?? ..it's rewriting history. The older crest badge defines his greatest period as a footballer certainly not the more modern badge which again does not represent JA time as a player at the club.

There are far more pictures of Jimmy out there to make a more cohesive composition.
There are also some great pictures of Jimmy leading England onto the Wembley pitch with Bobby Moore directly behind😉

Just my opinion
