Villa fan builds miniature stadium to raise money

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.

That should cover the cost of the consultation fees then,

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.

Sounds like they’re moving at the speed of an Ant.
