Question for the Seniors

[Pete]

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

Looking at the map, you're right. Thankfully, Small Heath was obscured from view.

[Chris Harte]

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

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

It is if my sense of direction's been frigged for the last 30+ years.

No wonder I can't find my way home after a few.

I used to see the IMI factory

Aye, especially night matches, with the red logo lit up. And, unless my mind's playing tricks, you could see Barr Beacon on the horizon, in the same general direction.

A crow flying direct from the Rear Trinity Corner of The Holte dogshitwards would fly just past the North East Corner of Aston Hall passing over the Lichfield - Birmingham railway line approximately 250 yards south of Vauxhall railway station before reaching its destination of the Tilton Road stand.
Assuming of course that it didn't hit Saltley Gas Works on it's journey. Splat ! Serves you right for wanting to go there you stupid fucking bluenose crow !

Before it got its roof could you see the tilton or The Rotunda from he back of The Holte End?

Cheers

Erm, the Holte End got it's roof in 1962 - Rotunda built in 1965. Spot anything  obvious?

Got in before me.  Besides, it begs the question, who the hell would want to? The Sty; that is.

Errrrrrm - cheers smart arse.

And why exactly would you want to see  that.

The first time I ever went to St Andrews was for the 3-2 defeat towards the end of the first season back in  Div 1 75/76 - what struck  me was the amount of house  bricks outside in the rubble - proper dump then, absolute shit hole now.

In fact, I pointed it out in 1960 before it was built after it came to me in a vision. I think I had mumps or measles at the time and I remember the patterns on the wallpaper were moving.

I remember having an interview for a job on a high floor in the Rotunda in 1971.

Dogshitwards is my favourite word of the week.

John 'Oracle' Russell has pointed out that you couldn't see anything from the back of the open Holte (or Aston as it was then) End because the wall was too high. He also told me that "It used to be possible to stand on the zebra crossing at the junction of Warren Road and Hawthorn Road in Kingstanding and see the floodlights at The Hawthorns, Villa Park and St Andrews."
