It the Palace of Versailles compared to Rotherham's ground!

Villa park. The only sports ground in the world that is visible from space.

While he's at it, I might just ask him if he's tried any local curries yet?!

Speaking of food, I heard that the new regime changed the pies at the ground. I wonder if Lerner gave Xia a "things fans have moaned at that I've not got around to fixing" list or if they've delved into the archives of various forums or perhaps decided off their own bat what's good and what's not.

Either way, they seem to be covering all the bases.

Happy with the win and performance really enjoyed the game.

From the nine-minute highlights on AVTV (who have sorted out their password reset function and let me in!) it looked like Rotherham were standing around watching rather than trying to play. Or were we that good we made them look that crap?

Whatever, we played well and it's good to see the players having fun. I don't remember seeing the players playing well together since that excellent Benteke back heel

Thank goodness for that! Finally a competitive win Laughing

Delighted for the players and RDM..& Xia! Something to work with at long last.

Tuesday will be a much tougher test i feel though against a confident Huddersfield side fresh from the win at Newcastle so vital to keep our feet on the ground.

If we can win that it will have been a great start to the season.

I was a ST holder in 87' the last time we went down and i remember well it took us around 6 games to get into our stride that season... if i remember correctly we drew the first load of games and everyone was panicking that we couldn't win even against some of the poorer teams so to win one already augers well!

After watching those more extensive highlights it was clear to see the pattern of play was much better and we really looked to be enjoying it, good to see and let's hope we make VP a fortress this season and looking how we played at Wednesday one of the so called fave's for promotion i can see promotion beckons as players sign and we stregthen even more! Good Times are here at last! UTV!

LOL be a nice refreshing change not to see us willing to flog to anybody for a whiff of a decent amount of money ay, ambition is what makes players want to stay and Tony has that in abundance, will also be nice passing Sandwell on there way down hehe
