Villa Park

An excellent ground that lies in a very not-excellent part of the city. Each stand is separate and slightly different from the others which in my opinion gives that little bit more atmosphere of a real football ground. The seat colours give the ground a nice atmosphere even when empty.
I got these photos whilst on a stadium tour which I can much recommend. The cost of the tour also includes a decent lunch in their themed restaurant. As I watch the ground half-empty on TV I feel a little sad that a good ground and a decent club is going through difficult times. The tour guide did tell me though that Villa are only one of five clubs that are trading profitably.
