There were cards put in the Holte and Jay Forsyth's infamous flag display. After that night, Our Hero got increasingly irate over the next few years, seeing everything in terms of him being right and everyone else was a sell-out. He tended to get over-excited a lot. 

Haven't seen his name mentioned for years to be honest, he used to be all over Villa-related social media. he had loads of enthusiasm but as you say, mostly got completely over-excited. Wasn't he one of the main people behind, ahem, Villa Fans Combined?

Random thought just now.

Work on the new North Stand starts "in the spring", which I assume means no North Stand for the next two seasons whilst the new one is being built.

Which means it's going to be largely impossible for non ST holders to get tickets to matches as our capacity will be down 7k or so, which is more or less current capacity minus away seats minus season ticket holders.



Liverpool are currently building a new Anfield Road stand whilst the existing stand is still fully open for business, so maybe we could do similar.
I'm not convinced that'd be a good idea. We built the upper tier of the Doug Ellis Stand on top of the existing lower, but the lower then needed to be demolished. A complete rebuild I suspect would be best in the long run.
They're demolishing the NS completely at the end of this season. The last remnants of the old villa park will finally go which is the lower level which was re-profiled from the old Witton end if my memory serves me correctly.

I think he'd given up by then.

I remember his 'thread of thanks' (I think it was on VillaTalk) late one evening after, presumably, he'd reached the end of the bottle on rumours of a takeover that never happened. It was a hoot.
