We were in the Premier League once you know
Only the once, but we made it.
Unlikely to happen again any time soon.
There's been mumblings about having something to mark it for a while, and mumblings about a mural somewhere. Separate mumblings, but they were there.
Then someone stepped up and started to do something about it.
As a resident of the Oakwell area and a Tarn fan, I was asked for my opinion (i know, right?) and I suggested a couple of large flat walls which were taken under consideration, and that's where my direct involvement ended, albeit staying in touch with one of the main protagonists.
After stumbling over the first real potential site, the local paper shop owner was approached.
He was extremely willing to have the proposed painting on his property, and so the plan became to really begin.
A fundraiser was created that took only ten days to get the amount required (and more) and so the work started.
Scaffolding went up, Paul Staveley got to work and this morning the scaffolding came down and it's done.
Well, sort of.
As an 80's/90's kid, there's an E that shouldn't be there, but it's getting fixed.
And here it is.
BEFORE
AFTER
You?
TTFN
