Villa Park Redevelopment

[Percy McCarthy]

Wasn’t the original Lower North just seating mounted on the original terrace of the Witton End?

I think so. It was great fun in that lower tier when it was terracing.

“We are the Witton, Witton warriors”.

[Brazilian Villain]

It was named after colony losing PM Lord North.

Although the continent is still named North America in his honour.

From the age of 6 my Dad took me to Villa Park with my Grandad and I have no idea why but it was always in the Witton.  I never questioned why we didn’t go to the Holte as I was happy in the Witton even when I can recall my dad and I cowering on the back bank as bricks were being thrown around us.  When the North Stand was built naturally we took up a season ticket and to be honest the view we had was phenomenal.  Whatever they do to the North Stand I hope it ends up with similar memories …..
