Just another brick in the wall.

When this ground was being built, one way to raise cash was to "buy a brick" and many fans, friends, families etc did so as a way to make a contribution. Their names and messages were engraved on them and built into a part of the stadium where all can see. When we move from here, wouldn't it be nice if those bricks could be rescued and built into a display area in the new stadium.

I’d rather the club give those people a new brick for free, as well as offering others the chance to do the same again, than take one single part of that stadium with us.

If we move, do the same thing again. Would love to get dad's name on any new ground.

Love the optimism!

I don't agree with the OP. My son and I both bought original bricks and the thing I remember most about them is how long it took until FK was shamed into actually mounting them on the wall (they're only fascias, not actual bricks). We used to regularly goad a particularly miserable East Stand steward while we were waiting for the gates to be opened with shouts of 'where's our bricks then'. Usually he replied along the lines of us probably not going to be seeing them in his lifetime. I nearly fell over when they finally appeared.
So no, I don't want any reminder of the Kassam at any new stadium. We've still got the certificates, we don't need the bricks.

As the owner of one, I would want it to move....

FOR SURE!

The club should advertise the bricks again for the west stand.

Would you want the exact brick, or would you accept a new brick with the same engraving?

Never in a million years thought I’d be having this conversation, but here we are...

I suspect we would all then end up with "Oxford till he died"

If Donna Heuerman looks out of her window she sees rows of bricks left by her teenage son, Jonjo.

Re: the exam question from Ryan

Either solution would be acceptable I guess. It's a personal sentiment expressed on it. I just don't like the thought of them being 'skipped'

Damn! Brought a tear to me eye.

I've thought about what would happen to them one day as I found my brick certificate a couple of weeks ago.

Think I'd get a chisel and take mine out personaĺly if I thought they'd be skipped
