Anyway chaps what about  60,000 stadium the new regime
are planning ?? Onwards and upwards 😉
I think that's it. We start by building a 60k stadium and everything else will follow😆Not sure about this paint job though.

Build it and they will come....

You're right. I'm pretty sure anytime we've built a new stand our average attendances have increased.

Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember what was going on in 1982. The October AGM proved what the media had been speculating on for some time. The finances were a mess.

We had very little money because there wasn't loads available to us or Ellis, at the time. Certainly not the half a billion plus that Lerner had go through his hands and wasted.

As for the rest of it, I only want to say I have no intention of slagging you off. This is your site. I respect that. That won't stop me from putting an opposing view forward, or balancing, what I perceive to be, a one-eyed view of things. I'm sure most people don't mind that.

One thing I know for sure. In my 40 years of supporting Villa we have never been thought of of more irrelevant and worthy of nationwide ridicule than we have in the last few years.
Surely irrelevance and nationwide ridicule are mutually exclusive?

I'm also old enough to remember it all. All of it. And the years that came afterwards. But as I said before, they've been debated ad nauseum and no doubt will be again. As will the Lerner years, and I really cannot be arsed to carry this one on.

Well, at least you got to keep all of the biscuits to yourself.

We're we not one of the only debt free clubs during Dougs' last couple of years?

Yes please!

Failing that, a decent paint job on the outside of the North Stand would do me. 😁
It's time they bulldozed the North Stand. To put things into perspective Wolves knocked down the old North bank terrace and built a new stand. Now they've knocked down that stand and built a replacement! In all that time our North stand has stood as a testament to apathy in my view.

Wolves ground has gone from looking decent to looking absolutely fucking ridiculous with that new stand. If they make the other 3 stands symetrical then it will look better looking, but even emptier.

Wolves also went into receivership and were minutes away from liquidation, partly as a result of the folly that they called the John Ireland stand

No.

You can be irrelevant when it comes to being a top 6 Premiership contender, but open to ridicule as a lower league team.
