Got a soft spot for The Villa. My great great uncle played for them in 1911-12 season. Joined the 17th battalion Middlesex, the footballers regiment but sadly fell exactly a week before Armistice.
Thanks for your support and words thetruthwillout

I know that's a childish attitude but I can't help it.
Lived in North Staffordshire for over 25 years and believe me the folk in this neck of the woods are ok people but boy do they take themselves too seriously when it comes to football especially Stoke.
I too walked around the other week for my Burnley ticket as I'd come home for the day (I live in North Staffs) and was shocked how horrible the arena looked.

I visited their site on a number of occasions and spoke with the elders and was privy to some frank discussions as to why there was a long delay in demolishing the gas holder and commencing the construction of Arena 2000.
Let's say they were less than complimentary towards our owners at the time...
