That reminds me, has anyone started this season's new badge thread?

They are trying to enhance Villa Park versus moving to a soulless empty bowl or modern stadium.

I also love the fact that our historic home is unique and not a soulless bowl, I just don't think the exterior of the Holte needed this particular enhancement. If you have a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, you shouldn't feel the need to stick a couple of fluffy dice in it.

Would be better if the Lion was walking up the stairs. But, I do like it.

Be better if it was an actual lion.

Ah, but which direction would it be walking in?

It should be walking out of the badge in disgust.

^^ You don’t get this level of wit and debate on twitter. More H&Vers should sign up.

Badge should never be on the ground where it's stepped on.

In theory it’s on the riser, so you won’t be stepping on it.
I say ‘in theory’ as there are people with huge feet who are bound to kick it 😂

"My home" is a bit naff, IMO.

Sounds like a competitor to Zoopla and RightMove.

This season 24/25 or this season 25/26?

A good point well made. I'll start two threads.

Maybe we'll see Grealish standing in front of those 'My Home' steps at some point.

My cousin is in corner flag suite today. Pitch still hasn’t been relaid and they’ve taken out all the seats from Witton Lane lower and replacing them. So I guess the bottom of that will look different with the added capacity. Work going on at Triniy as well.
