I'd love to know the real reason it was taken out in the first place.

Pandering to the smerkers as well I see.  Disagraceful.

Mate if it stops them having crafty ones in the bogs then i am all for it

I used to smoke quite heavily and never felt the need to go into the bogs at half time like schoolboys. Is another 45 minutes really too long to wait?

Glad the screen is back, it's a much better sight than that massive Tesco sign!

I'm sure Tesco paid them to do it...

Good news, but I assume this means no North Stand development in the short term?

Great news will have to get used to looking left again, originally When it was first removed after every incident I kept looking for it!

Smoking thing doesn't bother me. It's isolated and if it improves relations between supporters and the club then it's worth it. If you sit in the upper Holte and aren't a smoker I bet it'll make it easier to get served etc.

I imagine it'd please more people than it'd annoy, so it's probably the right decision.

I always wondered why the subs were warming up towards the North Stand for the past year or two, did Houllier switch the dug outs then? I can't say I noticed that, but I did wonder why they changed it.

Perhaps the General will return now he won't have to answer questions on TSM or the video screen.

I note from that article that Villa are embarking "on a vibrant new era". Is this a lowering or raising of expectations compared with our previous "bright future"

Great news on the screen.

The smoking area is a nice touch too, but seeing as you cant smoke AND drink then I'll just wait an hour...a half time pint is much better than a half time smoke.

We don't, but it's obviously a long-term plan. We were near enough to capacity a couple of years ago for them to take it down in the first place so it seems strange to me that after a couple of years of declining attendances (mostly due to a horrible appointment) they'd shelve the plans.
