I think it's one of the reasons the upper tier doesn't connect. It would just be so far away from the opposite corner of the pitch.I’m sure you’re right that it’s at the limit of the optimum viewing distance, but Wembley for example obviously has seats that are further away from the action.

Isn't there a minimum allowable distance from the pitch? It's why some stands are so much steeper than others.
If I lived down Witton Lane, I'd be getting a local group together, to tell the club "just buy our houses for double their price"! Imagine what we could do if the road and houses weren't there.

I like it and I also think North stand should be names after me as I have now been sitting there for 10 years. I didn't realise you were in there too. Call it the Castle Bromwich Has All The Best Villa Fans Stand and be done with it.

Trinity North is a great name. I knew aftab must have been a fiction.

The club is probably treading on eggshells a bit here, particularly given what happened at Liverpool. They'll also be keen to avoid any isolated 'ransom' plots. If there really is a weight of people who would be interested then Risso's idea is probably a very good one.
