    Funny all the people on here confirming they've been waiting for a few years and are still in the tens of thousands of the queue, yet others still believe the queue is pure fantasy. 

    Indeed, been on the list for 3 years and still around 11k.

    The Lower Grounds Matchday experience

    in Villa Talk

    Posted

    I was in the Lower grounds for the Olympiakos game.  A few of my takeaways:

    • It was rammed (to the point I felt it was over capacity)
    • Given the amount of people it was slow to get food, drinks not too bad.
    • no where to sit as all seating was full.

    I felt it was not worth the money for the service/experience, but even though I’m a member it was the only way to get a ticket.  

    it certainly felt like more than 800 people, but either way, I felt at least I was helping generate the club more cash.

    I think if they're planning a serious redevelopment we'll be a few more years before it appears in public, they could perhaps re-start the North Stand plans to coincide with the 150th anniversary, but I think we're likely just to see an announcement of the existing refurbishment plan which is just beginning to get underway.

     

    What is beginning to get underway exactly?

    We should be all over this at Villa Park, forget the tunnel club!  
    Great views of Witton and beyond….

    London is set to get another rooftop swimming pool — courtesy of Fulham Football Club.

    The west London football team has unveiled more detailed plans for the New Riverside Stand, a “premium experience that will be unlike anything in football” said Fulham FC chairman Shahid Khan.

    Don’t live in the West Mid anymore, assume you’re referring to space being available near Curzon Street Station?

    The NSWE Board

    And another circa. £55m of shares have put into NSWE UK Limited: £54,683,602 to be exact. That precise number is curious, as that would have been bang on 70 million *US dollars* when the transaction took place on the 15th December: the same day the Atairos partnership was announced.

    Given the North Stand redevelopment is now on hold, what is that $70m going to be used to towards?  Heck’s explanation was very wishy washy to say the least.

    Removing from the squad is ridiculous? We shouldn't be trying to punish the lad. 

    At the end of the day he's struggling, and for whatever reason it isn't happening for him at the moment, but dropping him out the squad would be a horrendous thing for the club to do. Take him out the first 11, give a few weeks out the firing line, help him by all means to get confidence back. If it doesn't work out then fair enough. Dropping someone from the squad though is not the way to handle players unless they're being punished. 

     

    You’re correct, dropping from the squad is harsh but he needs some time out of the team to recapture his confidence.  As I said, I’m sure there’s a player there.  It does worry me that he doesn’t even appear to be able to control a football at the moment.

    He’s stinking the joint out at the moment, can’t control the ball, when he does just gives it away or runs down a rabbit hole.

    There is a player in there I’m sure, but he needs removing from the squad at the moment.  
     

    If it’s not a compulsory I wouldn’t be pulling the trigger based on what we’ve seen so far, however, it feels like this will go through next summer.  He should only therefore be coming off the bench for now.
