Careful what you wish for. Could be The Visit Rwanda Stand.

It would be quite clever, as when inside the Doug Ellis Stand, Rwanda suddenly becomes more appealing.

It's more than time the Witton Lane stand was renamed. Preferably sponsored,  it's what Ellis would want.


At the moment it is the appropriately named stand based on the fact it was built on the cheap and embodies his time at the club

If /when we upgrade it then we rename it

Yeah I suspect the time of renaming will be when it gets rebuilt as it’s a respectful way to handle it.

Appropriate for a travel agent.

Somw of our younger viewers may not have seen much of the old Witton End, you see it quite well at the start of this vid.

Gary sat on our bench in Rotterdam '82. Villa could charge £20k for the honour in Salzburg this August, someone would be mad enough to pay it.

We've gifted Scunthorpe a load of the seats currently being removed at Villa Park. Classy, as per.

Quite surprised we didn't offer to sell them to fans. I'm sure many would have liked to own 'their' seat.

The problem with selling the seats is the worry that you end up with one that belonged to a phantom farter and you end up with a vaguely unpleasant smell in the garden/shed/man cave.

Yes, particularly in the North Stand, where I hear that sort of thing is rampant.
