B6 6HE - Beautiful.

Came across this picture which I had not seen before. IMO easily the best photo of how the ground is now.
These days we hate the manager, and hate the dross paraded before us for 90 minutes. I am one of many wondering whether to renew my ST.

But isn't this still just the wonderful place in the whole world ?.

**CLICK ON THE PIC. IT LOOKS BETTER BIGGER **

Let's hope we can be returned to the top ten sometime soon.  You're right, VP looks fantastic.  We should be very proud of it.

Fill in the corners of the North stand and then re-name it, got to be Ron Saunders stand IMO.

Don't fill in anything, just redevelop the north stand to look similar to the Holte but smaller, job sorted.

Aye, she's a sexy beast alright.

[Legion]

She's beautiful.

She's beautiful.

Forgetting the Villa connection, it's a great picture showing an inner city area that's greener than many people would think.

More trees in Birmingham than any other city in the UK, fact!

An utter travesty that such a place has been home to a hapless rabble for so much of its recent history.

Not only is the ground magnificent, it must be the only sporting stadium situated in the old grounds of an equally magnificent Elizabethan stately home. Unique throughout the whole world I would have thought?

Fact ?
How many trees are there then? What counts as tree ? At what point does something become a tree and not just a shrub? Are we  talking just the many trees in public spaces of Birmingham or are we including trees in peoples gardens ? Because I lost a tree a couple of years back that had been dying off a while, nobody has been round to count my trees. Unless they are spying on us secretly and counting them.
Do we really have more trees numerically than London ? Per hectare I am sure we do, but in total ?

The Saunders Barton Stand!

I've had this pic for years, it originated from a company that made bespoke blinds! Can you imagine closing your blinds at night to reveal this? Amazing!

Jacobean. Completed 1635. Elizabeth I died in 1603.

I'll be renewing next week.  She's being neglected at the minute but she'll be back, and she'll be better and stronger.

They should have took the picture on a matchday.
