Oxford were a decent side back in the 80's whilst SHA were stinking out the 2nd division. Also, Bolton are a much bigger club than Blues and will surely be favourites to go up. They would have preferred them to have won the final as Oxford wouldn't have sustained it for another season you'd have thought. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield, Bolton maybe Wrexham and Peterborough will be up there too - but Blues will be the favourites… …which will make it all the more fun when they fail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Blose probably have the financial advantage in that league but wycombe and wrexham are probably going to spend as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was absolutely convinced that was going to be my first visit to Wembley too i think they were in my very first panini sticker album! Had some good players in the 80's - Aldridge, Houghton and Dean Saunders come to mind. Always remember the angry look on Malcolm Shotton's face on his sticker They also used to have 'Wang' as their main sponsor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because they want to have 60k crowds against the likes of bristol rovers exeter and Mansfield town. All those games are going to be rammed to the rafters so they need to ensure its done asap!

useless Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think I saw that building can't begin for another year as the site has to be cleared of Japanese Knotweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should never forget the, “they breaks yer heart factor”. Top at Christmas, miss out on the play offs on goal difference last game. Relegated 12 months later under top boss, super star ex England manager Gareth Southgate who they pay the FA £500k compensation for!! Despite the FA. being on the brink of sacking him for gross incompetence and ruining his suit by crawling around on his knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok the FA ever sacking Southgate seems a bit fanciful but the rest is very possible……….mate….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I don't know the exact timeline but there's definitely a Japanese Knotweed issue on the site, it might be that world already began on it, butI think takes a while to get rid, hence the comments of it taking a least another year. And I've seen their fans talking about those numbers, not Villa fans exaggerating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 19 Moderator Share Posted May 19 I'd imagine the construction won't take place yet as they're also yet to appoint an architect, spec out the requirement, get drawings made, sign them off and obtain the necessary planning permissions, or contracted with constructor - if they were desperate to get started right now, from the position they're currently in you'd expect about eighteen months before you get a shovel in the ground.

Demitri_C Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I still dont get it. Your teams just been relegated yet instead of investing in the team they want to focus on building a stadium which is twice the size of the sty (whoxh they cant fill out every week) i dont see how they can afford to onvest heavily in first team and thia project They are small fry in comparison to our owners and they wouldnt even spend that sprt of money they talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
