I'd mow fuck off on the training pitch.

[Chris Jameson]

Our programme used to win lots of awards, maybe they got a trophy each time.

That's probably already been done because it doesn't look like any of our players have been on a training pitch. They play like they've never met before and all been spun around 100 times before being released onto the pitch.

Well every trophy a club wins a replica is made. So 7 FA cups, league titles that kind of thing. Why are you focusing on this? The point is we were promised a new trophy room. Along with many other broken promises made by the owner. Let's focus on them shall we.

No, a replica is/not not made and I'm focusing, as you call it, because I don't agree with what you said. And just as a warning, "Am I not allowed to have my say" and derivatives thereof is now filed alongside "I know I'll get banned fror this".

I've heard tour guides make up lots of daft stories. I'm not saying that these mysterious 200 trophies don't exist, although that's the first time I've heard about them and I've spoken to the club's (former) archivist on many occasions. However, there's probably a lot of friendly souvenirs and local competitions included and this is hardly "shitting all over our proud history".

Maybe he said 200 items then. Although I was with a mate who also thinks he said trophies. Either way I still think it's a piss poor way to treat things that have been won by the hard work of previous players throughout our illustrious history.

I'd build a huge fuck-off trophy room with the lot in, and position it between the home changing room and the tunnel.

I'd build a fuck off huge hermetically sealed room, put the entire squad in it, and throw the fucking key away.

I doubt there's a club anywhere in the world that has such a collection on public display but you add it to the lost if you want.

Bacuna would bump into it.

The figure would probably include things won at all levels from youth up to senior level and we've been winning things for about 140 years so I do think it's feasible.

Maybe one of our disgruntled former managers has already done that to Randy. That's why we see nothing of the fucker. If that is the case I'd hunt down the key, open the door, and then set up an indestructible TV screen in there and then play our matches on a repetitive loop. For the occasional treat I may screen a Shunammite documentary for Randy, but I'd re-edit the programme so it splices in footage of every failed throw-in we've attempted in the last 5 years, which is around about 90% of them. Then I'd lock the door (not before treating Randy to a Cleveland Steamer) again and then melt the key down and fill in the fucking key hole with concrete.

I really can't be bothered to continue this argument for much longer but do you honestly believe that the Birmingham County FA have made a replica of  the Senior Cup every year since 1877?

[Villa in Denmark]

The trophy room was going to be included in the new North Stand, which is another thing Lerner gave up on.

To be fair every time expanding the ground has reared it's head on here, other than the chance of fleecing 3-5000 extra tourists for Chelsea/Man Utd/Liverpool/Arsenal over the last few years we'd barely have ever needed the extra capacity has seemed to be the general consensus. We certainly won't be needing it in the near future.  From what I can recall when plans for redeveloping The North Stand were first mooted it was on the basis of "when the demand is there."

Anyway if we'd run off and spent tens of millions on building a stand we didn't need from a capacity point of view you'd probably be one of the first jumping up and down about why we spending money on needless vanity projects instead of pouring it into the transfer / wages budget.

I'm not saying that. I think it's down to the club. There are replicas of the FA cup, The Division 1 trophy from '81 and the European Cup in a cabinet in the players tunnel.

Yes you did say that. You said "every trophy a club wins a replica is made". If only it had been true in 1895.

Fair enough I did say that and i was wrong. I know what the guy said about the trophy haul and I've been trying to work out how it was possible. Maybe he made it up.
