They should have took the picture on a matchday.
That will be like a matchday if he is still here.

That's a great picture. I do miss coming up, it's been far too long. I'll look forward to the days I'll bring my son up and get him involved with the Villa.

Great that the pic includes Aston Hall - I absolutely love that stroll across Aston Park on matchdays

Sheffield has 47000 acres (or 190 square kilometers) of green space. Brum has 8000 of parkland of which Sutton covers 2400.

A little research has proved I got my facts wrong earlier, Birmingham has actually more trees per capita than any other city in Europe.

'You will often hear Brummies quoting the facts that not only does Birmingham have more canals than Venice but that it also has both more parkland and more trees (per person) than any other city in Europe. Birmingham certainly does boast an unusual number of trees'.

See, we boast about this fact.

Seconded. I was hoping it might be possible to buy prints of some of them, but apparently not.

The original is on the wall in the Trinity Road reception, btw.

There is a bloke over here in Lanza who does traditional Canarian pottery. When he is a bit quiet on that front he does mosaics of any football teams badge out of ceramic tiles on a wood backing. Ihave one of our old club badge on the bedroom wall,bloody fantastic.

Look, Sheff has loads of trees, it's just that B'ham has more, live with it.  You should be proud of our city's tree count.

The view from the Sky lounge looking across Aston Park is simply stunning. There is a carpet of trees as you look down, the only things that pierce it are the spires of the Holte Hotel, Aston Hall and Aston church.

It would make a lovely photo.
