At the moment the only 2 things that Aston Villa F.C have got that are any good are villa park and the fans. Next season we will still have Villa park and the fans so I will take that as my positive at this moment in time.

I love Villa Park but even that's being left behind what with all these new stadiums going up.

Give me Villa Park than a soulless plastic new stadium anyday.

Now that I have had a few rums to take edge off, I realise how just how bloody gutted I am about out situation.
My missus really needs to dust in here.

Quality image you gave me andyh...kinda like 'the thinking man'....
Now if you can remember.... Just before you noticed the dust....did you see anything of Aston Villa's future

I spent yesterday witnessing a promotion party at Poole Town. Looking forward to doing the same at VP in 2017 🙏

I'd be gutted if we left Villa Park. It would feel like a different club.

I agree. What we should have done was upgrade the stadium in the early days of Lerner's reign when there was a feel-good factor at the club. The North Stand should have been rebuilt and we might have attracted even more fans.

The North Stand does need re-doing at some point but I don't we are being left behind by new stadiums at all. It's adequate for where we've been, it's not as if we sell out every week.

When we've built new stands in the past I think our average attendances went up. It adds to the feel-good factor. Something Man City found out and West Ham are about to.
We've certainly been left behind.

Although there is an argument that if the expansion had happened then crowds would have increased with it as they have at other grounds.

Seems a daft thing to be discussing this weekend mind, although that's never stopped us before.

This. It's should be the last thing on our minds, it's not really that important in the great scheme of things.

It did have that little clean up though before the Rugby thing

They'll never compare.

The walk up under the bridge, Burger vans, Aston Park on your left, the Holte Pub comes in to sight, behind it the Holte End and it's steps rising. It's changed a bit down the years but not beyond recognition and it's a walk you've done hundreds of times. Inside the ground, it still has character. It's not an oval named after a mega corp. It's not in the middle of nowhere next to toys r us. You can't nip for a frankie and benni's over the road afterwards. It's a football ground, in the middle of a community the way football was, not a tourist attraction set apart or on a retail park like just another ''business''.

You can't leave behind a ground like Villa Park.
