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

Two years ago with regular sell-outs it made sense but attendances have been well down since then so I'm sure development has been put back.

Lightening the mood, has everyone seen the view from the top left of Wolves' new stand?

At least it blocks their performance on the pitch.

I suspect that picture at Wolves has been taken by someone standing at the back, that won't be the view when seated.  Having said that, at the old Baseball Ground and at Bloomfield Road I've been in a seat where the only way to avoid the roof and see the pitch was to stand by your seat and crouch down as low as possible.

Nope, that is the view. It's where it will link up with the new stand, if it ever gets built...

Loftus Road - away seats, upper tier, you couldn't see the goal line. Design classic.

Disappointed to read in that article that the club has decided to make the "smoking deck" permanent.

The club should not be encouraging smoking in any way.

I don't think that you can say the club is encouraging smoking. They aren't selling tobacco products .
It's something a sizeable number of fans have asked for and it's no different to pubs having smoking areas. And as someone has already said if it stops people nipping to the bogs for a crafty one then fair play to the club.
I'm a smoker but I'm in the Lower Holte so this move wont affect me, also I can manage to go a couple of hours without a ciggie but I know some people can't.

I'm hoping that the Reefer Room and Crack Corner are also in the pipeline.

From P8 it should be a great view of the screen
A bit like sitting smack in front of the 40" plasma at home

Exactly. If I want to watch the Villa on the telly I'll stay at home or go down the pub.

I don't see any problem with screen at VP. From T3 everything is fine.

Where I sit in the Trinity I have a perfectly good view of the other screen anyway. I object to the club using the revenue from my season ticket renewal to provide television for that lot behind the goal.
