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.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if the farter in the Upper Holte (Witton side) around 2004/05 was ever outed?

My mate's brother had a season ticket but wasn't really bothered so I pretty much had his seat for the whole season. Anyway, every game there were two or three moments of absolute outrage courtesy of someone's faltering guts.

Hahaha, it was collectively about a quarter of the Upper Holte, then! The groans started to spread and you knew it was in the post.

Chris Harte banged on about it extensively on these pages at the time. Maybe too much.

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






In other news, Small Heath have been asking if we intend buying up any houses on Nelson Road as they are after a few of the chimneys.

The work is moving along at an incredible pace, that's what makes the drone footage so interesting.

Yep, it's a shame that CC guy (?) is on holiday for the next few weeks so won't be back for a while.

Yep, surely him and his family would have been happy as larry camping out by Villa Park for the next 3 weeks.

Primetime Villa on X has reposted someone else’s (Dean) photos, on the one looking at the Trinity from above you can see the new steps if you zoom in.
