Raging Bull

Situated now in Centenary Square following its awesome appearance at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. Sadly it wasn’t built to last, so will be dismantled after the games. I believe a petition has already been started to find it a permanent home.

I hope they don’t just dismantle it! It’s a fantastic creation!

ahh this is the raging bull , there was a surreal moment on BBC Radio 2 last week when the travel reporter was touching the bull !!!

[Babs]

Oh I do hope it can stay, if not in this position maybe in a museum.

[Heather]

What a creation! I hope the petition is successful.

[Kathy A]

This definitely needs a permanent home

@phil_howcroft Haha, sounds like a euphemism.

[Susan Wakely]

A great looking structure.

[Pat]

Wow - you did a better job than me capturing him so well!
I hope maybe one of the Universities will take him. I’d hate to see him go.

[Beryl Lloyd]

An amazing sculpture , so sorry that he is not there to stay !

[Cherrill]

So much work and such an amazing creation! It would be such a shame to lose it.

[Cherrill]

@phil_howcroft Ah you mean Ritchie and his inuendoes!!! :-))

[Renee Salamon]

Brilliant sculpture, your pov makes him look pretty awesome

[Pat Knowles]

Well I think it would be a great shame to dismantle it….it’s more interesting than the one in the bullring! Put it inside the New Street train station I say..

Beautiful construction. However, I have associations with the Trojan horse.

@carole_sandford @onewing @365projectorgheatherb @beryl @pattyblue @stowgarden @happypat Thanks everyone. I’ve just seen on the news that the Bull is to be saved - In it’s current position until September, then an indoor location will be found for it. Hurrah!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@tinley23 Such good news ! :)

[Lesley]

@happypat I just had a flashback to this and re-read your comment. Guess where his permanent home is!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@tinley23
The New Street Station hopefully !
There’s plenty of space I think if I ember rightly! Do hope so! Would be great for Birmingham!

[Lesley]

@happypat YES! You’re right, it is a major attraction there. Every now and then its head moves and its eyes flash. It’s definitely a photography hotspot.
