I don't think Saunders would have won it.

Why?

Internal wranglings and I also think he'd achieved his ambition so he'd lost a bit of his drive.

George Ramsay Stand? Won 6 League titles and 6 Fa Cups, seems a forgotten man.

It annoys me that we are discussing this with no grounding. I'd like an update from the club regarding this. The North Stand is fucking horrible. It needs to be done.

When we did the tour last year it was embaressing.
The Trinity was superb compared to a 70's throwback - it was dull, cramped and dingy
Put a bleeding museum in it as well! It was noticeable how we all congregated around the memorabilia in the Trinity lounges

That's a first post and a half!  Amen to that.

Having read the history of the club many years ago, George Ramsey stand is a brilliant shout.

It's actually quite a sobering thought to consider how little we have won outside of that period at the end of the 19th century... Thank goodness for the eighties I suppose. Then again we have finished second twice in relatively recent times aswell, and i remember those well. We will be back there again as well, absolutely no reason to think that we won't!

Agree strongly. Joined in a kickabout of some enthusiastic amateurs on Aston Park in 1876 and turned them into the most powerful professional sporting organisation in the world in his 59 years of unbroken service. The greatest single individual in our history.

I'm sure something is going on behind the scenes. Somebody mentioned it a while ago that it might take all of a close season plus the full season after to build.

I just hope the lower tier is in similar size to the Holte, with the lower tiers linking round into the Trinity and Witton Lane. That way, the away end will be dwarfed and outsung by the noisy North standers. It would make Villa Park a lot more intimidating.

I agree with DC5 in that away fans should be in an upper tier, away from the pitch.

Also, it should be called the Witton End.

When did it change, I know the North stand but always thought it as being on the Witton End.
