Ican't believe it's very nearly ten years since I was getting very excited at the prospect of an altruistic Yank billionaire buying AV. How time flies and changes.

I wouldnt be at all surprised if Doc Xia closes The Holte Hotel down. It must be a complete waste of the clubs valuable resources and can only be used on a very  ocassional basis. The Holte itself was built for the use of the patrons of the Aston Lower Grounds and has only minimal importance in the history of Aston Villa.

It will not be missed.

I don't think it will be closed down at all. It no doubt makes money on match days and it's not open during the week so it's not exactly losing money.

As for Sirchley Villian saying no-one can get in, it's available for season ticket holders to use if they wish.

There's plenty of things to have a go at Randy for. Refurbishing a nice building like that is not one of them.

That's not strictly true though is it, it's not like you wave your ST to the doorman and get admitted, you have to be invited or at least that's how it worked when I last had a ST. (And never got invited by the big man baby)

That's changed now. They stopped the invitation thing years ago.

If that's the case I'll give it a go next season. Since I moved from The Holte End I don't walk past it anymore so I thought it was still invite only.

Thanks, last time I had a ST was TSM1, I wish I could have numbed my brain in the pub before watching some of the tedium, it may have helped.

It was a good idea at the time tbh so I wouldn't criticise Lerner for that move at least.

With the Dr on about regenerating Aston eventually, the pub could be converted into something else, you never know...

You have to pay £3 to get in and the bar is rammed so you can't get a drink.

Ref The Holte, they charge to get in and it's still rammed on matchday, so why would they close it? Same with the Lions Club and Holte Suite.
