If we commend NSWE for almost everything they do then this decision ultimately is theirs also. Or at minimum it has their blessing. I can see the rationale behind this with the surrounding infrastructure issues not resolved. And I wonder if this is a veiled threat to the local government to make things happen with the station or financing also.

Is us having Euro Champ games dependent on us upping the capacity?

I took redundancy.Nailed it - I've been in meetings like this too. On the money, SE! Really don't like how he glossed over stopping the North Stand development either. So what exactly IS the plan regarding capacity going forward then Mr by'eck??

It's a load of vision-less, short term drivel though. Using the current good run of form at home as an excuse, the prick. The thing is with all investments, is that they require a degree of short term pain in return for the long term benefit. You pay into a pension, you have less cash each month to spend now, but when you retire you have a pension pot to full back on. So yes, a reduced capacity at Villa Park for a couple of years, but then a 50,000 capacity ground for every year thereafter."A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit."

What sort of nutter would get off the Villa bus now? You've had years of shite. He knows this, he doesn't care or if he does, is calculated enough to roll on anyway.
