Notts County's Finest: Jimmy & Jack Statue Work Begins Outside Meadow Lane

Work has begun to install the statue of legendary Notts County managerial duo Jimmy Sirrel and Jack Wheeler outside Meadow Lane.

The Jimmy & Jack Memorial Fund met its target at the start of 2016, reaching a grand total of £102,000 thanks to a series of fundraising events over the last few years.

Construction workers began digging outside Meadow Lane on Tuesday, laying the groundworks for the statue and exposing the original cobblestones.

The public unveiling of the Jimmy & Jack statue will be at noon on Thursday 5th May, with lunch in the 1862 Suite for a 1pm start.

To find out more, contact Lisa Black, Jimmy Willan, Yvonne Jago or Andy Black on the Jimmy & Jack Statue Fund Facebook group for more info.
