Villa Park - once upon a time, similar size, similar history, hosting the same calibre games. It hasn't lost any of its charm or history in its evolution to a stadium, shop and facilities that are simply decades ahead of ours. Still an in city ground and surrounded by housing, pubs, factories etc, that we always see as a detriment to our situation.
Has also been used to successfully host many huge concerts and other non football events, that generate the sort of funding we need going forward.
