I’m lucky enough to be able to get about a bit and explore our own country and whilst I love it, it does also become obvious that what is on my doorstep is vastly superior to most other places. I can relate to both of the posts quoted here. As a kid, I rarely ventured very far outside the city, so it was all I really knew - if anything, hearing my parents and grandparents talk about how the Chester of today isn’t a patch on what it was like in the 60s made me think I’d drawn the short straw. It’s only in more recent times that I’ve been able to see a lot more of the country - and how much of it, with all due respect, compared unfavourably to what’s on the doorstep - and have consequently come to appreciate just how special a place our hometown is. There are livelier cities, and there are small towns and villages with perhaps more unspoilt beauty, but Chester surely has to rank towards the very top when it comes to combining the aesthetic, the historical, and the practical. What’s more, we even manage to do it without being totally overrun by tourists, unlike certain other places (*cough* York *cough*)… from my experiences, Cambridge is probably the only English city I can think of from the top of my head that potentially beats us on the criteria I’ve listed. It certainly gives a sense of pride when people from all over the world are sharing pictures of our city in awe on social media, or when people you meet react enviously when you tell them where you’re from. I think we all need to take stock of just how fortunate we are that we could’ve been born anywhere in the world, but have ended up in (or close to) such a wonderful place! So how have you ended up a Dortmund fan?

Really? The cost of actually having it painted? I wouldn’t have thought that would be all that expensive. Or do you mean the cost of renting a wall or something? The cost of the artist and the materials. You would be very surprised. The wall space would be free as we weren't looking at an advert, more a bit of fan art expressing our love for the club. I noticed this guy has done really big murals in Aberystywth. It would be interesting to get a quote. Are we thinking along the back of the Hipkiss to give the Harry Mac stand something to look at or something on the outside of the ground?

Reckon you could do it for less than Neil quoted? If so I’d DM him.
