Villa fan builds miniature stadium to raise money

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq502lz5eeqo



Well the proportions are clearly bollocks.  The North is far too big compared to the Trinity or Holte.  Must do better.

Each excecutive box in the North must be like a conference room

He's got a bar in his house.

That's never a good sign.

Looks more like a building at the end of his garden then the house.

Edit: It is.

When the stadium "outgrew the room it was in", Mr Crampton built a "man cave" in his garden, complete with a bar.

Hmm, looks to me like he's engineered an excuse to build himself a bar that he otherwise would have found objection to.

Classic piece of relatively harmless marital manipulation.

Bars anywhere in the home are tacky.

From the top deck of the fanzone today, the Warehouse looks quite a way from being finished, is it still Dec for completion?

£25m been allocated for station upgrades according to the front page of the Mail. Haven’t seen anything online as yet apart from Birmingham Live and I’m not linking that site as my eyes haven’t recovered from trying to read it as yet.

New queueing area, railings, signage, lighting at both stations… that will be about it.

It’s good, but it’s no tram stop :)

The PerryBarr redevelopment cost about £30mil and included the new bus stop layout at One Stop, so should be enough to extend the platforms, add a bridge and new entrances at that side.
