I just finished reading this article on Paul Lambert and his desire to have the Aston Villa dugout (home bench) closer to the more vocal Holte End at Villa Park next season.

Is there anyone around here old enough to know if our dugout has always been closer to Gwladys street (traditionally our more vocal end). More importantly, does this sort of thing really make a difference? I understand they are desperate to get the supporters back on their side at Villa, but to take it as literally as this is funny to me.

As far back as i can recall our dug-out has always been towards the Park End.

Just realised I wrote Gwladys street in the original post, seems I need a coffee ha. This is what I thought when I read the story.

The dugouts are normally in the centre so the manager can have the closest view to all areas of the pitch.

Move the bench, my lord...

What a tit, I'd try to get as far away as possible as the assorted moutbreathers and quasi-tards that inhabit the Holte end. WHy would you want to get closer to that morass of sub-human claret clad idiocy?
