If there was a museum at the ground, it would be good to have a section that arrives at a view of the pitch, where you could put on VR goggles to recreate earlier iterations of the ground; pre WWI with running track, interwar Rinder/ Leitch Holte End and Trinity Road stand, pre-Taylor report North Stand and covered Witton Lane and Holte End terrace, and then Ellis's pre-NSWE incarnation.

All interesting but probably less so to the under-33s.

I went to AC Milan's museum a few months back, and this was at the club offices called Casa Milan, about 2 miles ish from the San Siro.  It was very generic with a few videos playing and famous shirts etc, but there was a part where they showcased their European Cup triumphs which was impressive.  Then they had an area dedicated to their balloon d'or winners.  All quite impressive, but was done in 30 mins. A few more interactive areas would have been better.

That's one thing with a museum. It needs to be engaging enough so people go in and come out two hours later and almost feel like it hasn't been two hours. If it's done in 30 minutes it possibly didn't feel like value for money. A bit like when i did, I think it was, Sealife Centre in Blackpool last year. In and out in twenty minutes and left thinking that really wasn't worth it.

surely any museum is added on to the ground tour where you finish in the gift shop buying lots of nonsense !
