Just replied to a thread on the CCMB and realised it would be helpful to post the same excerpt on here for all fans' info:

But it wasn`t because of any stalling of the fundraising - the fine people on the Keenor Committee had virtually got over the finishing line with actual cash and firm pledges by the time the gesture was made.
Many thanks for your kind words Keith. It's certainly been a lengthy labour of love, but hopefully the rewards will be enjoyed by City fans for generations to come.
FAO Insider - we will shortly have some information on an unveiling date, unveiling ceremony and legacy (should there be any financial surplus from fund raising).
Myself, David Craig, Phil Nifield and Graham Keenor were at the CCS just last Friday finalising the critical unveiling issues with the sculptor Roger Andrews. We hope to announce this very shortly, but as you'd appreciate, we've never done this sort of thing before, so we want to make sure EVERYTHING is right on the day to avoid any embarrassment or last minute hitches!! Full details will be available very shortly.
Onwards and upwards!

Great news, thanks for the update Arfur.
Really looking forward to seeing it unveiled, as said above, it's about time he had a bit of our history outside our stadium
