It is astonishing, isn't it? Aston Villa (a.k.a. The First Superclub) still
talks about having a museum whilst relative newcomers to football history have
recently opened their new museum.
What is more, Wolves aren't even currently in the Premiership!
This news comes hard on the heels of the efforts of volunteers at
Warwickshire Cricket Club who set up a museum at their ground on a budget of
£150.
The museum talk at Villa Park has been on-going since the 1980s, and when
Randy came in we thought that was one of the projects that would be close to
Randy's heart. In fact, I know the club could make money out of it.
The North Stand re-development (which would have housed the museum - though
a pretty puny one from the plans I saw) has been shelved, of course, and that
would probably be given as the reason as to why Villa still doesn't possess a
museum. But why cannot the club (and/or volunteers) set up a temporary effort
until (and if) the final solution arrives?
Villa fans are always talking about the pride they have in the club's
history. I assume that those fans mean what they say.
