The New Tunnel at Villa Park
« on: October 18, 2013, 11:07:48 AM »


Paul Lambert is hoping the makeover of the player's tunnel at Villa Park will inspire his young squad.

The Aston Villa boss revealed he had a big say in how the walkway from the changing rooms to the pitch would look.

The stylish facelift gives a nod to the glorious past of the Midlands club with the its honours listed on the cross beams overhead.

"The tunnel area is a big area," Lambert told the club's website.

"It has been done up now and it is fantastic.

"You see some of the history that there is at this club, what's happened in the past. You can't take that away from a club."

And now Villa fans too can get a glimpse of what the players see before they stride out onto the pitch on a matchday.

That looks incredible. Hairs on the back of my neck standing up just from that image. Great addition!

They might have thought of leaving room to add further titles in the future.
Looks good though.

I thought that. Maybe they are easily detachable and can be moved over to maintain a sense of balance as and when seasons are added.

Do other cross beams refer to our glories in Divs 2 and 3 plus League /FA Cup etc?

I'm quite sure as we add new items of silverware those sections would be easily modified and all done with a big smile.

Another reason to love Paul Lambert.

He just gets it, doesn't he?
