    The ground holds 32,000, and sells out every week in the PL. It was rarely full in the Championship, and we got crowds of around 14-18,000 in League One (when we were doing well).

    Even if we were doing well in the PL - which we were doing fairly recently - it’s unlikely we’d ever need a bigger ground, or be able to fill one.

    Your club basically saw our stadium, and ordered the same one, in blue.

    Part of me thinks...Villa deserve all they get...they came up via cheating so **** em.

    But their fans could watch their club implode which can really damage a local community.

    The FA and the Premier league need to make owners protect the clubs for future generations...it is almost criminal that when football is so rich that so many clubs are on the verge of collapse.

    Agree that there's no need to expand but I don't think we've sold out a single game this season.

    Our crowds were slightly better than that in League one too. Averaging 20k+ in both seasons.

    ... but stipulated in the small print that it had to be capable of hosting title winning celebrations ... that's where your lot slipped up <ok>

    The club would survive even if the current owners took a bath, as it’s too big a club for someone to not want to take it on.

    So basically, **** ‘em.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t want to see a historic club like Villa go to the wall. I can’t imagine anyone who wasn’t a Birmingham City fan would tbh.

    I’m willing to bet no one ever dreamed that would happen when you first moved in.

    Said for a while that we almost need a bigger clubs to go bust for anything to change. Are Villa big enough?

    I wouldn’t even want that to happen to Pompey.

    I wouldn’t mind watching them almost die (again), but I’d want to them survive. So their fans could continue to suffer.
