Neil Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 To repeat, if you're someone who is thinking "I can only come later" or what not, please come along! Even if you can't make the football, the night will be great - like it always is - and moreover it'd be class to get a big crowd together for Jon.

LFEE Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Anyone had any joy with the trophy?... And those who knew him any ideas what would be apt for a trophy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Anyone had any joy with the trophy?... And those who knew him any ideas what would be apt for a trophy... I was going to enquire at the Bigg Market place but someone (Kid Icarus?) said apparently the bloke wasn't very reliable. Any other suggestions or is that our best bet? Typically I'm now off for a week (I offered because I work just near there) but will probably be in town at some point. I think the general consensus was a boxing glove shaped trophy, but again if anyone else has a suggestion or a preferred design please speak up.

Jill Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 From a quick search there are a few different styles knocking about: http://www.trophystore.co.uk/Img/Dynamic/Cache/Products/24775_gold_resin_ko_impact_boxing_glove_trophy_20cm_8_35693_cm-scaleaddwhite_w-180_h-210_q-80_wm-180x210.jpg http://www.trophystore.co.uk/Img/Dynamic/Cache/Products/15925_antique_gold_premier_resin_boxing_glove_11.5cm_4.5_24928_cm-scaleaddwhite_w-180_h-210_q-80_wm-180x210.jpg http://www.trophystore.co.uk/Img/Dynamic/Cache/Products/5377_boxing_glove_trophy_award_28cm_11_9721_cm-scaleaddwhite_w-180_h-210_q-80_wm-180x210.jpg http://www.trophies2go.com/images/productimages/Boxing-Glove-Resin-Trophy.jpg http://www.groundandpound.co.uk/store/images/P/redglove.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 2 or 4 IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I could go and do the trophy thing once it's decided, Jill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 2 or 4 IMO. I think I prefer that sort of design too though it's worth noting that some of the available sizes in those designs online seem quite small, so it'd be worth someone having a look in person if possible. Also, we will need to decide on an engraving - 'Lockwood Cup Winner' or something else, unless we want to include the date/year, but the champions may want to defend their trophy in the future...

Ryan_Taylor Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Aye 2 or 4 are the best. Probably the silver one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Do we do some kind of minutes silence before the game? Might be me but given the cup is a celebration I don't think it'd be right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Do we do some kind of minutes silence before the game? Might be me but given the cup is a celebration I don't think it'd be right Yeah, it's a tricky one. Think the whole day, especially the Cup, should be more a celebration of Jon but of course all of this has come about from a tragedy. I certainly wouldn't say no to a minute's silence, but I definitely think the day itself should generally be as upbeat as possible - like Cajun. Would be good to have some thoughts on this.

It just kind of seems like an appropriate way to start the day off. Although I'm not totally sure. Especially if his family are in attendance. It's tough.

Jill Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Craig and I had a message from Jon's mam tonight..

Jon was so passionate about his boxing and he was so proud of how good at boxing he was. He could almost have gone semi pro. So if you could share this with the forum that would be cool. Xx So let's make this worthwhile. Perhaps a minute's applause would be more appropriate as suggested above. Or a minute's shadow boxing even... It looks like Wendy and Naomi may come along to watch so I'm sure we could gauge from them what would be the best option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
