    Where has R.Bear heard this? And why has no-one ever mentioned it on Villa Talk before?

    I don’t think that’s right. The roof was replaced first. Then the stand was reprofiled a few years later for the World Cup. Externally, from Witton Lane, the stand was the same except that the grey cladding came down from roof level down to cover some of the brick work. Although I’ve never actually seen a picture from the road side of the stand when it had the barrel roof. Anyhow the impact of that stand lives on. Because Ellis technically extended it, it is the reason the current stand is too long compared to the pitch and makes wrapping into the Holte and North Stands so impractical and awkward.

    Phew!

    Is that you David Evans?

    I don’t think so. Unless the rules have changed since Darren Fletcher was denied an appearance in the 2009 European Cup final for a dodgy booking against Arsenal.

    Ref is a nutter.

    I can’t agree with that. It was virtually pink with no blue sleeves!

    I noticed that on the ticket site and thought they were being secretive about numbers again!

    My heart just broke again. That stand.

    It would be nice to have a pause on the price increases. Like many other thousands, I was there when we were awful. I expect to pay more now things have improved but I don’t want to be taken advantage of.

    Page 2 after the quadruple substitution. Not on my watch!

    The FA may well have told them they are not in breach of the rules. And that may just mean, “you’ve not done it yet so there is no breach, but you will be in breach if you do it.”

    “You’ll get what you’re given and we’ve done nothing wrong…ever.” That’s the vibe from the FAB meeting notes.

    I can’t help feeling the real reason is no-one will commit to build the new stand at a realistic price in the current economic climate, which has been particularly hard on the construction sector. Buckingham Group going under removes a potential candidate but the fact that two major stadium developments were a factor in going under must scare the wits out of any other candidates.

    Has he heard insider whispers I wonder?

    I’m struggling with “at”. “Towards” surely?

    Or explain to Heck why the detailing has to be claret.

    The article reports news that is now 21 days old.

    Depends if the company creates the shares for the new shareholders to buy or the existing shareholders sell some of theirs.

    There is a lack of attention to detail right the way through the part of the club that deals with things like the website and the programme. One of many reasons I stopped getting the programme this season even though my collection of back issues extend back over 36 years.

    Well they did slightly in that the price was the same and there were 23 home games instead of 19. Seriously though, I take your point entirely.
  22. Stephen_Evans
    15 years ago we were 4th with 13 games to go, as we are now. I feel much more confident this time round.
  23. Stephen_Evans
    Who is he embracing there?

    I was just reading about Buckingham Group’s problems. I do wonder if the real reason for the cancellation is that we simply cannot find a contractor willing to build it at a sensible price, given how much financial protection a contractor would want in the current economic climate.

    Well, well, well…a break in the clouds ️
