I had a seat behind the dugouts for Villa Park. The last time I tried to see them was Wembley in 2015, when Dave Grohl inconveniently broke his leg a couple of weeks before and they cancelled several gigs (not surprisingly). Haven't see them since the second night at Wembley in 2008........Shame they cancelled the whole tour, but quite understandable. I'm hoping to get tickets for the Wembley Tribute show....

I did see a tweet from someone recently that said something along the lines of.‘villa fans. You will not be disappointed with the new north stand. Wow!. A facility and project yet to be seen in Europe.’Given it was such a random tweet I’m hoping it’s true.
Ranking the Foo Fighters above Nirvana is like saying Wings are better than the Beatles

Bruce Springsteen and Rolling Stones overrated?! What is wrong with you people!Saw Springsteen and the E Street band at Wembley a few years back whilst the missus was pregnant with Lamptey jr - One of the greatest live acts I've ever seen! Arrived without a setlist and was just pulling requests out of the crowd, for a set which went on for well over 3 hours without a break!On a similar note, I was reared on the Rolling Stones by my dad, and finally got the opportunity to watch them live, travelling to Anfield the other night. Yes they're old (slightly older than the nipper's grandparents!), but they're absolute legends of British Rock n Roll and I won't hear any other word said about it! Sixty years they've been going for - How many bands will ever have that longevity ever again? I'd hazard a guess the answer will be ZERO! Yes, they look like the Walking Dead, but to still be performing (and have the desire to) at their ages is something to behold. Jagger's exploits strutting and running around the stage would put most of us middle-agers to shame. Also - Back on topic... Having not visited Anfield since my younger days, I'd forgotten how 'small' the place feels compared to Villa Park. The 'mighty Kop' pales in comparison to our Holte End, and take their main stand out of the equation and it's average at best. One thing which is IMMENSELY better than VP are the support staff in and around Anfield - The way they handle crowds/turnstiles/food and beer counters is lightyears away from what we suffer with. THIS is an area that we need to look at before any bulldozers come in imo, as the match day experience is pretty fecking shocking at Villa Park tbh.
