Villa Park Redevelopment

[VILLA MOLE]

Youd have to assume a bit of the Witton will go too, so my beat guess is they possibly extend the away section of the upper slightly and we get 1500-2000 away fans for a couple of years.

Match tickets will be a virtual impossibility.

No change to Witton Lane in the first stage. They have said only minor amends to the plans that were approved, so witton lane remains as is.

Any Architects amongst us know if they knocked down the Witton lane they would be able to re shape the stand without out going out over the road ?

I suppose reading the article does give some reassurance that the travel problems are well understood. Slightly concerned  that the target for completion and the date of cut off for UEFA is the same month, is there a construction project in the UK that hasnt overrun?

Also, if Stumps used to be a factory, what did it make?

Sadness.

I'm not an architect but I'm sure the answer to that is no.

No I get that, but I'm thinking for safety reasons there might be bits of it lost as its too close to a building site.

Come to Villa Park and you will see,
ANSELL’S BREWERY, M&B,
We don’t drink whiskey and we don’t drink rum,
We are the boot boys, from Brum.

Ansell’s Brewery wasn’t it?

Ansells was Aston Cross wasn't it , next to HP .

Remember that chant, although I thought it was Villa Boys, rather than Boot Boys.

Although I'm quite partial to a bit of rum.

It’s Flinstones registered office.

Dates from early 70s, definitely Boot Boys.

Sure we used to sing “Come to Birmingham…” but I was only a nipper so could be mistaken.

Yes, that’s correct.

[FrankyH]

It was definitely an Ansells building , but I am sure the beer wasn't brewed at this site.

Yes, now you mention it I think you’re right.
