I love Villa Park. A rare stadium amongst the Lego stadiums up and down the country. The trinity Road Stand was a thing of beauty.

What makes Villa Park so great? It's because Aston villa fans are the best fans in the world!

Despite not being a Villa fan I love Villa Park. Traditional but modern at the same time. It's the first stadium that comes to mind when you think of FA Cup semi finals. They need to put semi finals back to neutral grounds.

I inherited my Villa-ness from my late father who, as a child, lived a stone's throw away from Villa Park, until the Luftwaffe evicted him in the early '40s. He often recalled his visits there as a nipper. He told me that all the kids from the neighbourhood would climb the fence just after kick-off, and would then be 'conveyed' to the front, pitch-side, by hundreds of fans' hands on the ends of their upstretched arms - crowd-surfing many decades before any pretentious rock star thought to do it. He said it was like a magic carpet ride. I miss my dad. And he'd be rubbing his hands together excitedly at the anticipation of the upcoming season. UP THE VILLA!!!

You have a rather small audience, but that means you can communicate with them on a more one to one basis compared to your typical A list YT'er; you're able to know many of your regular viewers by name and respond to every comment.

Truly among the last of its kind! I understand new stadiums have there place, but we are losing so much history and tradition to such anonymous places! What’s the difference between The Eithad, Wembley, Allianz and other nondescript stadiums? The colour of the seats! Can’t really call the Kop, the Kop? The Stretford End, The Stretfod End if you fill in the corners and make it like everywhere! The Clock End at Highbury gone! The true twin towers of The Empire Stadium are long gone! The Holte is truly a dying breed! Long May it live as a true end, standing heroically on its own, roaring on the club we love!

Well, new subscriber here. It’s like this channel was specifically built for a stadium geek like me. Who nerded out on the live cameras for the NWHL build. Just promise you go beyond premier league. Go to the lower tiers (a video on Luton’s Kenny would be awesome) right up to the past/present/ future of Camp Nou if you plan to look beyond these shores. Good luck in this adventure sir!!
