all those FA Cup SF's we have hosted too , its a special place for lots of other fans
Yes, but we would never host another one if they were to be taken away from Wembley, because so many other grounds are now bigger and better.
So what it's  not just about that , geographically we often make sense

There are two reasons why we hosted so many - location and we were never in them.

I've had some cuisine from Ali Bhabbas I think (on Church Lane ?) but I'm not normally that side of the ground pre/after match.

Shush now. You're right of course, but we don't need to broadcast it.

Well, considering what Heck has said this week, it's not going to be huge. His comment about 10k extra seats being too much too soon is only days old. That said , although I was excited/proud about the new developments and the subsequent disappointment of seeing the plans put on the back burner. Confirmation that we are staying at Villa Park will be my best Christmas present.

I think Chris said it, his comments prob meant too quick for whole area, Infrastructure etc. not the club or tickets

Villa Chippy is on Witton Station's doorstep . Ali Bhabbas is on the way to Aston Station. I am typing this whilst watching Celebrity  MasterChef.

I wonder if postponing the new North Stand will mean that the rumoured gentrification of other seats goes ahead?

It is absolutely nothing about geographical location anymore though.

They don’t give a shit about dragging fans all over the country any more.
