It's Your Round Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 1 minute ago, ferguson1 said: I’ve mentioned this previously in that it’s McGinn that has insisted on a replica being in the tunnel as well as the board room. Heck moved the trophies out of the tunnel but McGinn got his wish with a European cup replica being put back. Good for McGinn, I think players do take notice of it, especially younger ones from abroad that might not be aware of Villa’s pedigree. Seeing that trophy tells people we are a big club. Typical of Heck to take them and try to sell them on eBay though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just occurred to me that could be the standing areas… or have they painted the concrete flooring to spell out THE HOLTE?

But yeah, no doubt it will be cheaper to do in 2029. Not. I think that when they do get around to doing it which I agree sadly not pre Euros the plans will be a hell of lot more impressive than what was previously planned both in terms of overall design and capacity. Huge shame it’s not under construction now but they’ve focused on bringing all stands up to a standard then will consolidate and push on from there IMO. Which I think is fair enough. I reckon they’ll be quietly buying up all the houses they can around the immediate stadium vicinity as and when so we won’t be as constrained when it comes to expansion as we push toward 60k stadium Edited August 24 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Wonder if the tunnel is black owing to our new found allegiance with Prince of Darkness Ozzy and Black Sabbath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From claret and blue to something straight out of a warehouse. Who thought of that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
