So apparently it's World Architecture Day. I did not know this.

Edinburgh, United Kingdom:







One for Q-Man, this used to be our main stand at Villa Park, I know I'm biased, but I truly do think it was the most beautiful stand in the whole of football:





Around Villa Park, there are a few buildings that really fit in with this style.

Sadly it was demolished in 2000 and replaced by a new, modern stand. Capacity increased and much better facilities, but I think the ground lost some of it's charm with the demolition of the old stand. The main stand at Ibrox was based on it, as was the Holte End when that was rebuilt in the 90s.
