Lol - sorry lost my password during a computer crash and have just signed up again.
These gates are awful ... the original idea/plans were on display a couple of years ago at the Methodist church hall (and I voted against them!)
I heard that the original idea was that they were to be bright, primary colours - but that it was felt that it would encourage children to go and play on them?!

I'm not against Roundabout art, in Rothwell we have a commemorative pit winding wheel and it's great, cost £50k though.
These gates look a bit poor though to be honest.

It's called "covering your a**e..."
The climbing frame in Pudsey Park used to be painted in pastel colours, but we still played on them!

Them there Cross Gates (un) crossed gates look like something we knocked together in metalwork class at the age of 14! I wouldn't wanna put my name to em! Now the pit wheel at Rothwell and the spectacular pit wheel at Glasshouton are something to be proud of!!

Oh dear. What on earth is the association between Crossgates and football? If Mr Edwards doesn't like the traditional colours of the Crossgates insignia, he could always move.

Thing is it was reported by the YEP a short time before that that local LUFC fans may take umbrage to it, hence Gary's offer of a paint job. As much as I love LUAFC, I do find the thought of red gates rather trivial. Were it a sculpture outside ER for instance, then fine, but how can anyone get upset over a colour no where associated with football or any particular ground is beyond my ickle grey matter??

There is now a "Welcome to Cross Gates" sign on the roundabout close to The Gates.
So now people can discuss if it should be Crossgates or Cross Gates ..

They'll be buying a field at Thorpe Arch for the sheep to over-winter on next

It was always Cross Gates School wasn't it. Maybe the 'conjoined' form comes from lazy writing

Think they are better than the gates, at least they clearly give the message....instead of leaving you guessing!
I could live with these, unless that's on top of the £k143, then, it is taking the proverbial isn't it

Don't like red and white alone though I still fail to see why there is an automatic association with football. Could just a s easily be a Patriotic thought with St George in mind?
But there is black too which brings it closer to Cross Gates.
The Ordacity of more money let alone another, what around 13% is a vote loser - remember that when election time comes round and the reminder will be the hike on the Council Tax bill you won't be getting a pay rise to pay it with.
I mentioned before, I'm sure a major gas main complex sits under the roundabout.....
