Quote from: Dave Clark Five on June 05, 2012, 07:21:59 AMHow many of the windows that were in the old stand have made it into the new stand or other parts of the ground? I know that some of them have, as I have closely inspected them, but there are some reproductions.I didn't think anything had survived into the new stand.

I get a little bit jealous everytime there's a reporter standing in front of that beautiful stand at Ibrox (also built by Leitch).
Created by Victorian Visionaries, destroyed by a jumped up travel Agent
My first memories of Villa Park were standing on the Holte but looking at the Trinity in Awe.For me the Trinity epitomised the heart of Aston Villa, Class, Tradition and packed ranks of Villa fans.When the Toffs in the Trinity seats joined the Holte in banging their seats to, Villa, boom boom bomm, Villa,boom, boom, boom, Villa Park rocked.Created by Victorian Visionaries, destroyed by a jumped up travel Agent.When fans warble on about Doug, it is clear that age and distance soften the heart.I can not believe that because the old twat shuffles into his seat with a wave that he is forgiven for destroying that most sacred part of Villa Park.He never understood the tradition of Aston Villa.And by the way he carelesly lost the best Manager we ever had.A curse on your house Mr Ellis
Well spotted, I had a few drinks on Friday when I wrote that.I was misty eyed and pictured whiskery (do not think that is a proper word) gents in long black coats and stove pipe hats pouring of maps of the Empire.Flash to Doug offering specials to Majorca and advertising for tenders on cheap building plans.
