GA+ treated to luxury, whilst the rest of us are living in comparative squalor. Really not acceptable. Lower North was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 25 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25 (edited) I hate to add to the club bashing but where I was in the lower north there were multiple cases of people cutting their knees on the seats. We think it was either the bare screws coming out the back of the seats or the brackets themselves; Just seems rushed and a lack of quality. There was even a seat in front of us that had no side bracket, so the seat was just balancing on the one side. They were still trying to repair it at half time, but it was left in the end and the girl was relocated. I wouldn't mind so much if the quality was there, that they just ran out of time, but overall the whole feeling of the refresh was cheap and even a bit tacky. Honestly they should have left it as it was. Edited August 25 by Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted August 25 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25 (edited) Every single new seat in the lower Holte only had two screws out of four holding it to the concrete. I know it’s not really important but how cheap Edited August 25 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environmental Health at the council. There’s clear H&S issues with piss overflowing seemingly all the toilet blocks, not just the holte. Seems like the club need to be forced to sort the plumbing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not really important but how cheap I thought this about the rail too. I felt it moving when people were leaning on it. It is secured by a plate and just 2 bolts. Definitely feels like 4 bolts should be used to secure a square plate to the step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 That’s disgusting. Chris Heck should be made to get in there with a straw and a bucket to clean that lot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Why are you shocked? It's not hard to fix this but they don't. Spend all the money in the budget putting oak panelling up in the corporate areas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted August 25 Popular Post Share Posted August 25 Way to get it fixed is for it to get into the papers and social media beyond just Birmingham, Villa interest. Make it an embarrassment for the club and they might bother. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Looking from the Holte towards the far left corner the smaller LED screen used to say the score and how many minutes played, now it does neither. The larger LED screen on the right hand side shows the time but from row 27 upper Holte it looks like this for example:- 35:46 Even wearing my glasses I still can hardly read it Not experienced the overflowing urinals thankfully, but well done for the video please forward it to Lee Preece. That has to be a health and safety issue and should be a priority. Villa have 2 weeks to get Dyno Rod out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted August 25 Popular Post Share Posted August 25 Been saying it for 3 years. They don't give a shit. They don't give two **** about you, and I've been derided and yes I'm a moaner and yes the football has never been better and it's brilliant but it's patently clear this ownership group don't give a **** about you. They're not building the club for you, or your children. They detest you at this point and becry the inability to not get more rich people in your seat. How much contempt do you have to have for people to let them walk around in their own **** piss. But we're in the Champions league.

I dont think owners do generally, at least not at Villa. Ellis? Learner? Xia? It's not these owners, but all owners of the Elite. This myth that it's our club, and the owners are custodians is cobblers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you really imagine the situation in reverse… you have £5bn and you invest in an NFL team over in America… and your motive is to improve it for the local people… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
