Villa Park Redevelopment

[Tuscans]

I don’t know how many of you have been to the Etihad.  But I was at Co-Op Live last night chaperoning my two daughters.  The site is just unbelievable and they’re building another 7000 seats.

Timing is everything they got in before the PSR lock.  And of course the alleged cheating.  And they were given a new stadium.

Nonetheless it depresses me massively that the cards are so massively stacked against us when once comparable teams like this boast this kind of revenue opportunity.

Aye, makes our Warehouse look like a garden shed. The land they've had to develop on is enormous.

[Duncan Shaw]

It'll all be dwarfed by the Sports Quarter, and we can all give up then!!

I think what our guys are doing with what we have available at VP is really good, but the pure limitations of what makes it special doesn't afford us the scope for unlimited development.

It is a souless plastic bowl they can fuck off the cheating wankers

It is unbelievable though, unbelievably shit that is.

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes all very well.  But it still gives us a massive problem v their revenue.

You can't say anything these days.

It's illegal to not be woke.

This needs to be shut down now.

It is amazing how things have changed, there used to be two distinct categories supported football and rugby.

As late as the 90s I remember being warned on University and then job applications not to put football on my cv.

Then Nick Hornby and Blair came along and football was gentrified to the extent you need much more money to watch football now than rugby.

I've referred myself to the Police Complaints Commission.

I sometimes think it's a shame current, younger match-going people can't get transported back in time to go to an away match in the 80s. Or even a home one, for that matter, and experience what it was like, and see the degree to which the police were as bad as the fans.

Although obviously if they were Trinity Road season ticket holders, they'd recognise the bogs.

This is like that brilliant scene in Cheers.

Indeed.  It’s almost un fathomable that a group of people would arrive at a train station in Coventry on a Saturday lunchtime and be kettled on a two mile walk through the city only to be warned or arrested for daring to step out of the crowd.

I remember that, coppers screaming at people for stepping off the kerb.

With a tap on my shoulder, with a truncheon, I got told to stop singing on one of those Coventry marches… understandable if you heard me sing to be fair.
