I've just seen the Birmingham Mail's story on a homeless man living in a shanty town style house under the Holte End. Frankly this is shocking .
Aston Villa is a major force in British football owned by an American millionaire but why can't a football club the size of Villa afford to some some decent security.
As an occasional visitor to Villa park it cost's me more than a pretty penny to sit on the Holte yet this guy is set up with the same view from home. When I'm sat up in the stands in my beer and smoke free environment this fella is probably drinking his Gold label and living the high life. Thanks Villa!
In all seriousness this is obviously a terrible situation and hopefully the little bit of press will help him get out of his hole. I'm just not sure why the Birmingham Mail chose a picture of Stephen Ireland during his time on the bench at AVFC to illustrate it.
