The email promised "more TV's" but they've removed the one by the old Purity Bar. The ducting has been painted though so we looked at that instead.

You don’t want any more of me I can assure you.

The main toilets on the K6/7 side of the Upper Holte have been ripped out and replaced with some in a place that I didn't know existed to their left. No sign of what will be built in the current building site, my guess/hope would be one of the Amazon style stores they have in the lower

The replacement is half the size which chimes in with how things are going there lately. It didn't help that the ones above flooded and were closed at the final whistle, I was struggling by the time I got to the Villa Tavern.

It was just a gents, now there's a ladies as well.  I took a photo for some reason.

It’ll be hospitality toilets…for just £15 a game you can have unlimited access to the toilets….& a club legend will pop in to give their views on the game whilst you are sat on the throne

 ;D  To prevent any confusion, the bloke on the left is obscuring the door to the ladies.  I guess we'll have to see what they do with the vacant space.  If they wanted to put a beer machine there then it's conveniently close to the toilets so a simple filtration system should do the job.

… and a bloke taking photos! Great photo though to highlight how poor the women’s toilet facilities are at football grounds. Pity there wasn’t a puddle underneath the sign.

Looking at the seat selector this evening, I noticed for the first time that a lot of the rows at the back of the Holte are now marked as "this is a future rail seat".

How long has that been there?

It's international break. So what else are you gonna do except ask Midjourney to imagine a revamped Villa Park, keeping the traditional red brick facade and incorporating the stained glass in a modern way?

Could fit a lot of curry in that tray.
