Im a traditonalist, move back to Perry Barr where we won the double. No good ever came of tearing up our roots with the move to these aston lower grounds in the first place.

Yes, what better time to revisit the name of the stand?
Ron Saunders Stand anyone ?


I have always thought that the Barton-Saunders Stand would be a great name

The David Cameron Stand.

How about the King William Stand and rename us Royal Aston Villa ?

Oh yes !

And it can be done whilst still alive - The Bell End at Citeh for starters.

If we're adding some soul to a stand that is currently lacking that in abundance, it deserveth a good name !

Naming stands after past players/managers is a bit too lower league for me. Lets stick with the North Stand, or even the Witton End.

There needs to be more claret seats. Looks like Man City play there.


To be fair you can only see the bottom tear which is always blue setas.  I imagine the top tear would be claret.


You can see the 2nd tier also and it's blue. It's not a big deal anyway. If we could start from scratch, I like the idea of claret seats everywhere with thinner blue striped sections all around the stadium.

I like the blue seats....I don't lnow why. In fact, (I've only been 4 times) I have never sat in a claret seat yet!

You want to try them, they're a different texture.

I like it.

We (Stoke) most fans want our corners filled in. (mainly due to it's the coldest ground in the effing world. BUT I like the fact yours hasn't, you truly have a fantastic historic ground and you don't want to loose that. That pic looks awesome though.
