What a strange question. No idea about the Rotunda but the tilton? You must be joking it was and still is tiny!

Not old enough to know for sure, but as far as I know the roof was put on the Holte in 1962 and the Rotunda, although work started in 1961 wasn't finished until 1965 so i'd have thought it unlikely.

Eddie has been on here for a good 10 years so I very much doubt he's one of them.

As a side issue I was once told that Ron Saunders' office when he went over there faced Villa Park.

If you stood at the top of The Holte on the Trinity Road side and looked dogshitwards I have calculated a distance of 2.344 miles as the crow flies to the nearest point of the tilton.
Why any self respecting crow would want to fly in that direction once it was perched at Villa Park is another question.
I would like to make two claims:-
1) First person on here to know this distance
2) First use on here of the word `dogshitwards`.

Wouldn't the slope of Aston Park get in the way of both?

Any little terraced house that stands between the Holte and St Andrex would block the view of that mother of all shitholes. (Fortunately)

Aston Park is the other side of the ground to the Sty isn't it?
