OutByEaster? Posted April 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2018 8 hours ago, sne said: Could that also explain why the pitch has been below normal standards this season? We were going to replace the pitch last summer, it'd reached the end of its natural life. They cost a couple of million quid or so to replace and the day Doctor XIa came over to look at lots of Villa things and think about where his money was going to be best spent, the pitch won Championship pitch of the year. On that basis, he decided it could wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted January 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2019 I sat in the Lower North for the first time in years. What an absolute dump. I'm not sure what the lowlight was, from the grubby exterior, the Ryanair legroom, inadequate catering, or the only sink in the gent's being 20cm away and slightly lower than the nearest urinal, so you can't wash your hands without a cock in your peripheral vision... That thing being demolished can't come soon enough 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This drives me insane. I always find it very difficult to piss when there are grubby hands being washed in my peripheral vision. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I bought tickets in the North Stand for Saturday's game a week ago, first time for me in the North Stand. I'll make sure I take a wee before going to the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people should be careful which hand wash they are using, whether its liquid yellow, gooey brown or silky white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Has apparently made the shortlist for stadiums for a UK and Ireland World Cup bid though its one of the smaller grounds on the shortlist. I wonder would we upgrade the stadium if we received approval 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder would we upgrade the stadium if we received approval We probably would, but I'm sure we would get games given there are no stadiums in the Midlands that are close to our capacity. So all we need is to be given the World Cup, as Theresa May would no doubt say "simples". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donniewyer Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Villa Park has been chosen to host some of the Rugby games for the common wealth games in Birmingham. I'm of the understanding a new north stand will be built and that we'll get funding to help with it. Edited March 5, 2019 by Donniewyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they haven't even awarded a contact for the actual games stadium rebuild yet, we are probably well down the list for our lick of paint and jet wash of the North Stand. Expect an announcement about 6 months before the games are due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I don't think there will be a new North Stand while we're in the championship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
