Villa Park Redevelopment

[AV82EC]

Poor Just, he comes across as a nice fella with a passion we all share. We're quite cvntish to Villa fans who have their own YouTube shows aren't we?! Pete the Canadian, yes he's a bit much at times but fair play to the fella, it must take hours to put all that content together and come across so professional.

It’s a fair shout eamonn and on reflection my critique is a bit harsh on someone who’s just doing it for a hobby BUT this ain’t the first time he’s been called out for chatting shit and getting it wrong to try and drive numbers/views and all that shit on his channel. At least he’s apologised but if you’re going to put stuff where everyone can see it at least do some basic research otherwise where’s your credibility? Or is the goal to be like the Ubertwat Goldbridge.

I follow some really good non Villa content creators on YT, some of which is TV quality imv so maybe my standards are quite high, so when you get people being fast and loose with content even as a hobby it just gets on my goat.

On Pete the Canadian, he’s alright, I don’t agree quite often with his views or summations but there is a level of professionalism about his presentation that means I will watch it when it pops on my feed even if I’m not subscribed.

This is the thing. It's a choice as to where you position yourself with this stuff. It's really not difficult to impose some editorial standards on yourself. It's even easier, however, to quickly make yourself look like a twat, which looks to be the case here.

Is he the same guy who was representing Villa on one of the Carragher/Scholes fan shows for the Overlap?

I think that’s a different guy SE, can’t remember his name.

And concur with your other comments, be your own editor, it’s not difficult. And if you’re the creator, take some time, your own credibility is at stake.

I think this Justin bloke has been on there too.
He needs to get out the social media bubble, he really thought Asensio was coming  and get all excited.

Whether it was him or not (and I think it was) he didn't come across at all well. Perhaps he ought to stay away from cameras.

The other guy was Luke Robinson on the UTV Fan Channel.

Yeah, he's been on. Seems a decent guy.

No, not him. This guy was bald and called Justin. Anyway, sounded like a berk.

[VancouverLion]

His channel is Justin talks Villa, should really be Justin talks shite.
I thought he was decent when he was Luke Robinson's sidekick on UTV, not so much now he's gone it alone.

[TheToffnar]

I quite liked Luke when he was on it. His content generally is fine, he's well informed and eloquent enough for it to be entertaining, but he relies a fair amount on clickbait titles for me to take him seriously.

Never been the biggest fan of Justin and thought he came across as a touch deluded on the fanzone show. Found it a little embarrassing actually.

God knows why they don't just get Bardel in for those sorts of things. Level headed and reliable.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't think he wants to be pigeonholed as 'fan media'.

Taken from a speech by Calvo at a panel/conference he was on in Hamburg (the rest is in the FFP thread):


**The future of Villa Park**
Infrastructure development remains one of the pillars of the club’s strategy. “Villa Park to me is the essence of English football: it’s an old-style stadium, with red bricks, probably the largest of its kind.”

The investments are significant: “We’ve invested almost 50 million pounds in developing the entire hospitality area,” plus “about 20 million pounds” for the new Warehouse and a plan of “about 100 million pounds to build a new stand and expand the North Stand.”

What stands out especially is the comparison with Italy: “Looking at my previous experience, the Allianz Stadium in Turin was born when it was already 17 years old: it took 14 years to get the permits and three to build it. I was in Spain, at Barcelona—a country much more advanced than Italy on these issues—and even there the permits took a huge amount of time.”

“Then I arrived at Villa and in June we were talking about expanding the North Stand, and they told me it would happen soon. I asked: but have we already applied for the permits? They replied: yes, we’re applying next week and we’ll have them in three months.”

“I was shocked, because in three months we got the permit to invest 100 million and build a new stand. In Italy it takes years. This is an advantage for English clubs: they manage to make things happen quickly,” he concluded.

Hosts the 1874 podcast. Has our Athletic correspondent on essentially every week. Never too hot or cold on stuff, generally speaking which is nice.

He's knows, it's an inside joke on the forum that's been going for years.

Apologies, showing my Reddit only preference for the last few years there...

And I might be alone in finding Bardell very annoying with his no socks ankle trousers look.
