Too quite unique pubs in their own right. Plus The Wellington. The top real ale pub in Birmingham City Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great Pub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange really, one of the very shittest areas of Brum has the finest Jacobean house in the country right next to to Villa Park. Ive never actually been but everyone I know whose been says it's really good. Looking at t'internet it's all dressed for Christmas after 1st December. Many of our fans do not realise . That Villa park was once an area owned by Aston hall and that Aston Hall was once owned by the Holte family. hence The Holte End Edited November 27, 2021 by Robtaylor200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MNVillan Posted November 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 What a ******* day. I don’t really know what to say other than unbelievable. Met some fantastic people. I’m going to lose my voice. Got hugged by a stranger after McGinn scored. Introduced a few people to Minnesota Lions. Watched a couple Palace fans get kicked out after yelling at Villa fans? Not really sure what the point is, that’s an expensive ticket just to talk trash at. Is Selhurst Park tiny? I have to imagine VP will be way bigger 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Selhurst they walked out of like a plastic covered tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty damn funny In answer to your question you should also have heard: MY GARDEN SHED, my garden shed IS BIGGER THAN THIS, is bigger than this My garden shed is bigger than this It's got a door and a window. My garden shed is bigger than this. Yes, it's a tiny shit stadium and Villa Park will blow you away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
