What is the future of Villa Park?

On the subject of safer standing, I was informed yesterday that only the Lower North Stand would qualify due to having been a previous standing area. The hurdle to get over is the Council.

Isn't it actually against the law to have standing sections at Premier League grounds though?

No. It's all down to local councils

Not interested in it at all.

Are you interested in international football?

I used to be, but not any more.

Not quite.

The Taylor Report set up the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) which issues licences to clubs to hold Premier League football matches.  It is currently a condition of obtaining a licence that clubs provide seated accomodation to all fans.  Without a licence you can't host Premier League or Championship matches.  This is neither written in to legislation, nor is it a decision to be made by local councils.  But to change it would require the Government to tell the SGSA to change their licencing conditions.

We missed out 

Team GB vs Brazil at the Riverside.

My mate texted me last night, asking if I fancied going to watch some olympic football with him at Wembley ( he's got some free tickets)

South Korea v Gabon........

I had to look on a map to find out where Gabon is.

To be honest, I had to do the same for South Korea as well.

No we didn't. Nobody cares.

I think you can see GB at Villa Park after all.

Well the draw was greeted with something approaching utter indifference. The matches themselves will certainly create some interest but if the England team perform as expected in the Euro's I expect everyone will have had enough of football for a few weeks.

I've had enough for the last few months.

They are having to take out the CCFC out of the seats at the Ricoh to have the London Olympics.
What's the betting they don't go back in.Larf.

I think this is the most suitable thread I can find for this post - if not, my apologies.

I've just been having a quick look at Wolves' plans for their new club museum and I must say I am very impressed:

How I would love to see something like this in a new Witton End!

[Legion]

I like that idea.

[PeterWithe]

My late father in law spoke of that being on the cards for quite a while, I never did quite believe they would get it off the ground. He would have loved to have seen it come to fruition, fair play to them.

That article reads like it was penned by a 12 year old schoolgirl.
