It looks like a toilet seat from above, which is brilliantly apt considering the pile of steaming shite you’ll see on the pitch from that view. 

 

They should have based it on these new Japanese toilets so at least it would be warmer and flush the shite away better.

Aston Villa must be tight on PSR - spending serious money.

 

150m already this summer.

 

Must be close to 100m net.

 

They finished top 4 in the league, so they're looking at £170m for TV rights alone.

 

I think our skinflint owners have done such a good job of convincing people that football finances are precarious, that many don't realise just how lucrative it is to be a Premier League club.

Had a spare afternoon So went to take a look at the enemy’s lair earlier for a change of walking scenery. Just to see if it really is the 8th wonder of the world, an “iconic stadium on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey that people will travel

miles to see” etc, etc. 
 

It’s quite nice. But, just that. It’s nothing out of the ordinary though and isn’t the iconic stadium like a lot of blues are claiming. 


Not being bitter, but it’s got nothing about it that puts it into the iconic stadium bracket that the likes of Wembley, the Bernabeu, Nou Camp, Allianz Arena, Westfalenstadion, Anfield, La Bombonera, the San Siro etc occupy. 


A decent, modern stadium. But just that. 

7 out of 10 for the stadium. As it stands, 2 out of 10 for the surrounding infrastructure and facilities (pubs, shops, places to eat etc) unless you want to dispense of some sewage or buy some timber on your way to/back from the match - then it’s an 8 out of 10.

Looks a bit like Dublin Airport.

Not familiar with the area it's in but it looks out of place.  Bit of an eyesore. 

I don't know if if call it an eyesore exactly, but yeah. For all the moaning about the main stand, it really does stick out, not just with the area, but with the walls and everything that they've retained from the old dock. 

 

Looks better from the river, I bet. But who's seeing that? Outside of the odd helicopter shot?

 

Edit: looking at it more I think I dislike the cladding more than the dome top.
