Villa Park - review by scentless1

Rating: 4.8

Location: Villa Park, B6 6HE, Birmingham, United Kingdom

This is quite simply (in my arrogant opinion anyway) the bestest, and greatest stadium in the football world. Many a great experience I've had here. I simply cant say enough good words about whats it like being here. The atmosphere, especially in the Holte end is second to none. This is a crowd that always has, and always will get well and truly behind their/our Villa. Its been a while since I came, simply because of the financial reasons behind it. Going to see Premier League football isn't cheap anymore, but thats the price you have to pay. I do try to come a few times a year though because it is so good, especially when the Villa are doing well, just like now.

Villa Park is absolutely steeped in history, and any renovations have been done sympathetically and in keeping with this. Standing opposite Aston Park, it occupies a large area of Witton alongside the Holte Pub and the Villa Village. The stadium is a spectacular sight at night with the newly added signs, and is easily accessible via bus and train. Inside the ground, the capacity is currently around 43,000. The noise usually starts in the Holte End, but this is now echoed in the North Stand, which has more recently been given to the home fans. Away fans have the pleasure of sitting in the Doug Ellis stand, and the family area, press and directors get to sit amongst more home fans in the Trinity road stand. The food at Villa Park is well known for being amongst the best in the Premiership, and the Cornerflag Restaurant is simply exquisite. You don't have to be a Villa fan to eat there, but with the fantastic view over the pitch, I guess it helps.

You could easily assume that this is a greasy spoon cafe, but whilst hit has shoddy dÃ©cor the food is excellent and staff friendly. Well worth it for an unpretentious and quick dinner.

This stadium has seen many legends past and present grace its hallowed turf. A place where 'total' football is played week in week out. At the Holte End you get to sing along with some of the funniest supporters in the whole of the UK. The food there is also of the highest standard with the famous 'balti pie' available within the ground. Nearby there is a number of pubs, typically we go to the scream bar on the UCE campus before a game, which is good value.

Interesting fact 1: the pitch is 115 x 72 yards
Interesting fact 2: We've won the European Cup..Chelsea HAVEN'T!!

Ok in one of my other reviews i spoke about me getting bored of Thai, but went to this pokey little place by turnham green tube, and my faith has been restored. The food tastes real good, real fresh, and the flavours hit you. Nice people who run it too. The big bonus how ever is the B.Y.O policy and no corkage charge. Opposite theres a convenience store with a great selection of booze. Ok the toilet is a bit small and could be cleaner. But its always busy in the evening, and thats testament to the quality of the grub. (during the day it does normal cafe food i.e. brekkies etc). Also as its quite small and a big window at the front you can watch the world go by too.

Now i've been going to this place for about 7 years. Was introduced to it at uni in london, by a mate who is of chinese decent (so you know the quality of the food can be trusted). Its open 24hrs a day, its in the heart of chinatown. Yeah the waiters can be rude, the plates and cutlery can occasionally be a touch on the grubby side, the toilets well they usually have soap, but the food is sooo good. Great place to end up after a night out in the west end. Heres a tip, give the 'chinese' menu a try!
