Replace the roof on the Trinity. It looks shite and the view isn't great from the back.

Then we'll have about 20,000 empty seats instead of 10,000.

How many have we sold for the Holte tomorrow and will they be loud enough?

i know there's more to it than pricing- competition from other clubs and other
Leisure pursuits, but I'd be interested to know how our pricing compares with Newcastle. Does pricing have any difference beyond a certain point? I'm not so sure it does for us.

You get the impression with Villa, some weeks they could barely manage 36,000 and other weeks could sell 50-60k.

It's always been the same. Back in the poost-war boom period we'd get 50,000 against Wolves or Spurs then lose half of them a fortnight later for Middlesbrough.

I think in those days people didn't have season tickets so you'd tend to decide on the day if you fancied it?

So things like shit weather would affect the attendances. Also midweek games were actually played during the working day before clubs had floodlights.

Yes, all good points - the large majority of the ground was exposed to the elements at this point of course as well. The relative paucity of success during the attendance booms of the 1950s, and now in recent years also plays a role.

69,000 plus vs Wolves ( 1949 )
Nearly 77,000 vs Derby ( 1946 )........but that was when it was not all seating..................Godzvilla!

A month after the Wolves game we got 32,000 against Middlesbrough.

I was interested in this so had a quick check. The Wolves game was Dec 27th, the day after we had beaten them 1-4 at Molineaux, so spirits were up and it was in the Christmas holidays. By the time of the Boro game we had lost three on the bounce (including the Wolves game), two of which had been at home. The weather was 0-6 degrees in both cases.

If nothing else a very positive bloke

Should make the new North Stand a single tier as well. Doubt it'll happen though.

[IFWaters]

We should aim for a bigger capacity than the toon, and aim to be one of the 5 largest grounds in England.

He gets about it our Tone.

Erm, you'd have to virtually replace the whole stand to achieve that! It's a steel frame structure.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Do the North stand while they are at it

Doc has tweeted that kids who are part of the membership program could be free next season.

[willenhall villa]

I always thought the design of the trinity was partly to allow for the corner to wrap around if the North Stand was replaced?

[adrenachrome]

Doctor T is sanguine about the RHM situation.

Has Rushian gone on-loan? By the way, one of his champions, Mr Brian Green, seems to be absent from here lately. Hope he's ok, his posts are missed.
