This is the best news since hearing Michael Appleton doesn't have a Nobbers tattoo. Fantastic effort by all who have helped in any way and well done the Armfield for making it happen

 

[Wizaard]

Can't wait to see it. Great effort everyone.

 

[Ooh Andy Garner!]

Great effort by all involved, will be a fantastic addition to Bloomfield Road.

 

[Leither]

Great news

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Why the delay?

Yeah can't wait to see, hopefully on the Rangers game day.

 

[Come on the Pool!]

Can't wait to see it!

Wish we’d included that in the public vote DSOL - minimalistic genius

Well done to all concerned - Sir Jimmy will be looking down with a smile on his face

 

[Mark_GT]

Even if it's underway for the Rangers game that will create a serious buzz

 

[Solwayseasider]

Good idea putting full post code on ,it looked half finished before.

Picture update of progress as it happens?

 

[Blackpool_Rox]

Yes - should be able to do that - hoping for a time lapse camera and maybe a video by our very own Lee Charles

 

[Blackpool_Rox]

Fingers crossed we will get underway today …. queues for the new kit, plans afoot for new flag and the mural too.

Come to The Gold Coast !

 

[BFC87]

Excellent. ️

 

[uncletomstangerine]

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Grimmy has his crayons out I heard

Not up on my graffiti but maybe this is the.... base coat.....thats barely seen but there for..... some reason.

Either that or Jimmy's going to be looking a little different than I thought

Well done. That apart, you don't reply to your PMs, which is not a good sell.

10k for some squiggly writing....

 

[SpionKop]

10k for some squiggly writing....

i’d have done that for 500 quid and a tank of petrol

Currently looks like one of those articles from mail online.."How many pairs of boobs can you find hidden in this picture"

 

[Blackpool_Rox]

For some reason I can’t seem to upload the latest photos - does the file size need reducing ?

Anyhow day 2 is underway and the weather is looking fine on TGC.

In terms of the stages yesterday Matt created a ‘Doodle Grid’ - this acts as a guide for him to create the ‘Outline’ - the photo I tried to upload shows the image outline in blue.

Today he will be painting in the ‘Background’ so by close of play it should all be looking a bit more intelligible.

Will try and get some photos up here later today.

[TangerineArmy]

Amazing the doddle grid... gonna be amazing. Well done everyone involved and those who gave

 

[tangible]

Nice spell of dry weather due as well. The Tangerine Gods are smiling down.

Either slightly crop them, taking a screenshot of them often can reduce them or if not put on fb and can get them from there.

This still the final one? With fans at the bottom?

The ball has moved over in the initial outline.

Coming along pretty fast, great to see it come together, interesting how they do it.

Still largely an outline atm, but hope it ends up like the render. Especially the tangerine...

 

[JJpool]

Any updates anyone? Was there progress today or day off? @Blackpool_Rox

 

[Steamgun]

Excuse the poor quality of the cropped image. This was taken (from the passenger seat) while driving through the lights by the Bloomfield/Lidl earlier today. Finished artwork will be very impressive from a distance let alone close up
