Popular Post The_Rev Posted May 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this is thread worthy or not but here goes: Why are there no murals of past and present Villa players in the areas surrounding Witton and Villa Park? We see it at plenty of other clubs and there’s clearly a good pool of artists in Birmingham, you only have to spend five minutes in Digbeth or Southside to see that. The club do want to put a stamp on the area, we’ve got banners and flags up everywhere so surely a good way of honouring cult heroes and club legends would be throwing a few paintings up? By their very nature they are ethereal so you can do things like having Unai Emery up now or players like Mellberg, Ugo or John Carew without having to deal with the permanence of a statue. It’s a good way of showing the story of the club and adding a slash of colour to parts of town that can look more like an industrial estate than a sporting destination.

Mark Albrighton Posted May 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2023 Erm…aren’t we forgetting this? You mean to tell me you don’t find this sufficiently artistic and in keeping with the heritage and tradition of the club? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 A problem might be that some local residents could be reluctant to agree. No harm in asking though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly - part of a reworking of Hieronymus Bosch's the Last Judgement perhaps, sorting all of our players, past and present and allocating a just fate to all. I'd pay good money to see that. Could probably get some AI thing to do the grunt work 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Went to Croatia last year - stayed in a place called Tucepi down the coast from Split, it's over an hour's drive away from their stadium and it may sound like I am exaggerating but on pretty much every bridge, spare wall and fence there is a mural dedicated to Hajduk Split, it would be the equivalent of turning into a quiet cul-de-sac in the village of Salt, Staffordshire or Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire and seeing Villa murals. Since then I've dreamt of every rock/wall/central reservation on the roadside from Aston to Stafford and from Witton to Worcester daubed in AVFC-related artwork!!
