Perry Barr Stadium

[edit]

This article says that Aston Villa played at Perry Barr Stadium in 1888, but the stadium's article says it did not open until the 1920s. Presumably Villa actually played at a different stadium in the Perry Barr area, not the one we have an article on......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:27, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done PK: Seeing as Perry Barr Stadium is a listed by Wikipedia as a Greyhound track, I did some digging and found that in History of Aston Villa F.C. (1874-1961) it mentions they played in Perry Barr at the Wellington Road (Perry Barr) stadium. Aston Villa then moved to Villa Park in 1896/97. I've updated the reference.
