Villa Park Redevelopment

I emailed the club directly about the issues on Saturday in the lower holte. Had a nice email off Lee apologising and saying they are working through the issues. I suspect he may have had a busy day.

Lee and Nicky Keye, faithful footsoldiers until they burn out.

Nicky Keye is doing very well for herself at West Ham.

I'm not sure who has disagreed with paragraph 2. If normal match goers/season ticket holders become the safety net then the TV bubble most have burst and we've fallen through the floor and kept on plummeting.

Or been relegated. But that would never happen to the Villa, so maybe our FFP accountants aren't quite as good as 10 others and we find GA+++++ doesn't sell as well for Washington Generals vs Washington Generals.

We relied on parachute payments and wherever Xia found his cash from.

They will build a new stadium somewhere eventually. Villa Park as it is cannot allow us to compete, and have a good match day experience.

Depends what you mean by eventually.  Within the next 20 years?  I very much doubt it.

All of this happened before. All of this will happen again.

He's done well to email you whilst holding a bucket full of nub ends and a plunger.  Full credit

You see folks, all these issues this season, well they are just out of our control, the ground is old, and really hard to keep in a good state of repair. We want to give you the best experience possible and therefore the only way forward is the new adidas megadome next to the M42/M6 junction. Here you go, it's sexy.

Take away the location at the end and I suspect a lot of this is true and is a big part of why I think a new ground (either where it is or elsewhere) would be better than rebuilding a stand or 2 and fiddling round the edges.

Uh oh. Here we go here we go here we go

They've still not put a spade in the ground on the Smithfield site in Digbeth. Makes you wonder.........

Only joking lol.

Looking for any positive news, is anyone able to report on how the shuttle buses operated between the city centre and Villa Park before and after Saturday's game?

I blame people insisting on drinking pints of beer in football grounds if they’re moaning about the service.  It’s virtually always in plastic glasses, ‘pints’ are half full.  The beer is warm and tastes like cats piss and it costs a fortune.  Unless it’s changed since I last had one in 2003.
