The Watford F.C. announced a three-year renovation plan for Vicarage Road today (see plans above). The plan, a £32.5 million joint development with Watford F.C. kicking in £13.5 million and Origin Group, a housing development firm kicking in the rest (note the lack of public funding Cardinals), will bring about a number of changes, most notably to the Rookery (the home stands on the south and the newest stands at the facility) and the East stands (part of the original 1922 construction), part of which have been closed for safety reasons.
The Rous (west) stands will be upgraded to accommodate expanded luxury boxes. Other changes include the integration of 'keyworker housing' to the stadium taccommodatete Watford General Hospital (their neighbors to the west) employees and the eventual filling in of the corners.
The is just thlatestst in a series of renovations since The Vic's opening in 1922. The end zones, now the Vicarage Road (north) stands and the Rookery, were originally terraces - the Vicarage Roads stands being built in response to the Hillsborough Disaster, in which 96 were crushed to death at a Sheffield/Liverpool fixture, and the subsequent Taylor Report. The Rous Stand was built in 1986, replacing the Shrodells Stand, itself built in the 1930s to replace the Union Stand which came to Vicarage Road from the club's former digs, Cassio Road.
Some fans have complained that funds are being diverted from players' salaries (though Club Chairman Graham Simpson has said Boothroyd's budget will be unaffected by the plans) and that the 'average fan' will be priced out of the stadium (building on the increase in prices since promotion to Premiership), but most seem to have a 'wait-and-see' attitude.

Wigan Athletic (1-1) 0-3-3 3 pts.
The half began with a bombardment by Watford as Francis, Mahon, and King (twice) all had attempts on goal but it was Bouazza who got the equalizer at 63 minutes off an assist by King and gave the 'orns another point.
No subs at the half despite my prediction, but Henderson came on for Smith at 72 minutes as a scoring threat from outside. It appeared Boothroyd opted for the draw rather than going for three points when he brought midfielder Spring in for striker Bouazza late in the match.
Given the odds, a decent result giving Watford their first away point of the season. Next match is Monday, October 2 vs. Fulham at Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 2:00 pm St. Louis time.

0-1 at the Half
Watford went in with 4 strikers & 4 defencemen as the game started off with a flurry (lots of offsides & fouls) in the first 20 minutes, but few shots. Wigan's goal came off Henri Camara's left foot 29 minutes in. Aidy's been in the habit of subbing at the half. I'd expect to see Spring come in in an attempt to get the equalizer in the second half.

Game Day - Wigan
The lads head north to take on Wigan Athletic, reeling from their Carling Cup loss earlier this week. No word on the lineup yet though it's a good bet Damien Francis will be starting at midfield against his former team. And speaking of odds, the books have Wigan at a better than even favorite. We're still looking for our first win of the season, but it looks as if we'll have to work extra hard today if this is going to be it.

Message Boards
I may have said this before, but the UK football message boards seem to be a notch above others I've been on in terms of humor, even the sillier postings. I've credited the previous Wigan poster (who was nice enough to send a comment and not a lawyer) and added a link to the original site.
It's blocked at work so I don't know what's there yet - enter at your own risk - but he swears there are a few Yanks & Canucks on the boards there and he seems like a nice enough guy (despite the fixation on Dame Elton) and will need some sort of consolation after tomorrow's match (not to mention Crewe - hard cheddar there).

Reprint from the Wigan Boards re: Watford (&, however obliquely, Watford Gap)
From dirrrrtyoldman:
www.mudhutsmedia.co.uk
"Oh I nearly forgot, did I mention that Elton John used to be Watford’s Chairman? The Watford Gap always confuses me. Is it the first stop as you enter the South or is it the last stop as you leave the North? Also is the “Gap” in the Earths core? If so then why doesn’t my train plummet into the dark abyss of the planet when I go to London? I don’t know, so maybe it’s best if I move on.Whilst trying to construct this article I thought it might be a good idea to find out some interesting facts about our opponents and their town. Stuff that didn’t include name dropping Elton John.
So here goes, Watford is a town in Hertfordshire that has a population of approximately 110,000 residents and has many kinds of shops. It is renowned for it’s publishing and produces many of the countries periodicals. Famous faces include George Michael, Geri Halliwell and did you know that the Football Club once had Elton John as it’s Chairman. ***, I didn’t mean to do that.What a collection eh? I bet the good people of Watford must be so proud to be represented so admirably by three of pops biggest tarts.Anyway I’ll continue.
Saturday see’s the visit of Watford and quite possibly an even lower home crowd than the Reading game. Okay I know this seems pessimistic, but the reality is that if a team like Reading who ran out clear Champions last season can’t bring more than a handful of fans to their first ever away game in the Premiership then what hope is there that Watford will do better? Mind you, the all new hands across the ocean notion of the club will allegedly see 8,000 chubsters joining us so I’m sure we’ll be okay. It’s a pity the newer fans that we worked hard to convince to watch us who actually have some interest are now feeling that a hike in prices of £10 to £35 a game is a little more than they are willing to spend. Especially on a home game against Watford. Not to worry though as a sprinkling of cherry and white will really enhance the colourful experience of the afternoon.
As for Watford, well these boys have done it all before, and not too long ago either. Watford’s first season in the Premiership in 99/00 did however end dismally. After making a good fist of it early doors they capitulated to finish bottom under the guidance of old Turnip head himself, Graham Taylor. This was a long way from the dizzy heights and earlier exploits of what was the era’s unfashionable “hoof it up the pitch” tactics of Taylor’s first tenure in charge. Installed as Manager in 1977 Taylor guided Watford to the pinnacle of the English game with a string of successive promotions. This success culminated in securing a UEFA cup place by finishing runners up in their first season in the top flight in 1983, and then that heartbreaking defeat to Everton the following year in the F.A. Cup final. Great goal by Andy Gray to win it though and a very fair challenge too!
Backed by all round good guy and sausage jockey Elton John it was no wonder that they played well. The stench of stale cream as Elton kicked over the cake trolley must have had those players *** themselves. Credit where credit is due though as they did have some fine players back then. John Barnes was a real class act and his skill on the ball can only be bettered by his articulate mastery of football punditry, Luther Blisset was a dude, Maurice Johnstone who would sell his own Mother for a fist full of Gold, because he couldn’t decide whether he was Tim or a Hun had a brief but productive spell and not forgetting Kenny Jacket who remains one of the few managers to play for and manage his hometown team. Whilst preparing the club for the infamous “Second Coming” of Graham Taylor, Jacket lead his team to a club record 22 unbeaten league game stretch which still stands today. A true Watford fans legend.
Take a minute to think about what this small, unfashionable club achieved though? Is it ringing any bells because it should be. Surrounded by a whole host of bigger clubs Watford defied the odds and continue to do so.
There was a lot of raised eyebrows when the club boldly appointed Adrian Bothroyd before the start of last seasons Championship campaign and who could blame them? Plucked from relative obscurity it was seen by many as an appointment dictated by the clubs finances. In fact Watford were nailed on favourites for relegation never mind promotion. Nevertheless they defied all the odds and battered Leeds “We’re too big fort go dowwwn” United in an embarrassingly one sided play off final.
They were also a pretty tough outfit when they arrived at the JJB last season for the Carling Cup and this time they will prove to be an even more difficult proposition. Although currently occupying a place in the bottom three, there performances do not reflect the two points that they have picked up and an away win on Saturday could see them catapulted away from the drop zone. That said if we can’t put two or three past these men at home it might be us that needs to be re-evaluating our final standing.
Finally if we can’t do these men on the pitch we can surely do them in the credibility stakes. For Geri Halliwell and George Michael I’ll raise you a George Formby and The Verve. As for a Sir Ian McKellen v Elton John match up there could only be one winner, Sir Ian would leather him.
One way or another anyway.
Finally, finally let's give Damien Francis a decent reception shall we? Some of us at Goodison last week could learn a lesson as to how to welcome back players that gave their all for their club, even if it didn’t quite work out. Exhibit A Kevin Kilbane.Oh I nearly forgot, did I mention that Elton John used to be Watford’s Chairman?

Red Lion/Golden Hornet - This is the Way to Run a Club!
Watford FC buys pub - Morning Advertiser
More things to love about England . . .
As opposed to many MLB clubs who shut down their beer sales after the seventh inning stretch (and God forbid the game goes into extra innings), Watford has decided to buy their own pub, the Red Lion, adjacent to Vicarage Road. A popular spot (at least when the Hornets or the Saracens - the Watford rugby team - are playing), the bar is not on High Street proper, but, as the Watford Observer has noted, Watford is 'the binge-drinking capital' of Hertfordshire, this should not present a problem.
Initial fears were the space would be used as offices, but scuttlebutt has it that the remodeling will include the addition of another bar. The new name? The Golden Hornet. Cheers.

New! RSS Feeds
Look over to the right. Now scroll down. See it??? I've got two buttons there (Yahoo! and the little speaker above it) that should set you up for RSS feeds. If you're really getting into this, you can get Yahoo! alerts sent to your email or, God forbid, pager when some new pearl of insight trips off my keyboard.
I'm new to this and working out the kinks. What seems to work best so far is to click the little speaker, select see more options, and then the Yahoo! chiclet. Other methods are giving me a 'no articles in the last three days' message. I'll work on it. Enjoy.

LC: Accrington Stanley Nil-Nil (6-5 on Penalty Kicks)
First - let it be known that Wikipedia scooped both the BBC and Watford's own site which was down most of the match. We went in with the reserves but nearly didn't come out. It shouldn't be that close playing a squad three leagues down (think Cubs vs. Arkansas Travelers - well maybe a bad example). Upsets happen - witness Crewe's 2-0 victory over another recently promoted Premier League team and finalist in last year's League Cup, Wigan.
More bad news as well as L*t*n Town took Brentford 3-0. The silver lining: Barnett was sent off with a red card.
Next fixture is Saturday away at the aforementioned Wigan (Greater Manchester) at JJB Stadium at 9:00 (yes, I double-checked, 15:00 - 6 hours = 9:00) St. Louis time.

Nil - Nil at the Half
OK. I can't subtract. The tie got off at 1:45 - not 3:45. 13:45 = 1:45 John. No matter, the tie is not on Matchcast so I'm following it through the Watford FC site.
Game Day - Accrington Stanley
Carling Cup 2006-07 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hornets enter the League Cup competition in round 2 today against Accrington Stanley, new this year to League play and coming off last month's 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Played during the regular season (as is the UEFA &, I believe, the FA cup), the League Cup is restricted to the teams of the top four leagues (as opposed to the FA cup which is a free-for-all). The format is single-elimination with byes for higher clubs in the first two rounds. In typical British obfuscation, the matches for the tournament are called 'ties' as opposed to regular matches which are 'fixtures'. Ties, of course, are called 'draws' as are the selections to determine the 'ties'. Got it? Good.
The event is also known as the Carling Cup, named for the Canadian Brewery. Much to my surprise, Carling Black Label (now just Carling) is the best-selling beer in the U.K.! We used to get stuff for $5.25 a case in Kirksville and $1.20 of that was bottle deposit. My brother-in-law tells me they flew it in warm to Vietnam during the war which makes sense (and sort of explains the U.K. status) as it's not as bad as some beers warm.
Back to football. It looks like Aidy's giving some of the starters a rest and giving Spring & Mariappa starts. Watford has never met Accrington Stanley before today. Go 'orns!

Aston Villa (0-0) 0-2-3 2 pts.
Finally off the bottom of the standings though:
1) Only on goal differential -and-
2) Still in the relegation tier
I did not get to follow this one, but looking at the recap, DeMerit played the entire second half. Hopefully, this will put an end to the heartbreaking endings and give the 'orns a little confidence.
Next game is a League Cup match vs. Accrington Tuesday at Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 3:45 pm St. Louis time. Accrington Stanley is in League 2 (3 leagues below) Watford, having been promoted this season after winning the Football Conference championship last season.

Game Day - Aston Villa
I'm bummed about not being able to follow this one. It looks to be another tough match with Aston Villa sitting 5th in the League Standings. Every team we've played so far is residing in the top half of the standings (of course we've helped to put them there). We need 3 out of this one. Aston Villa's short their fullback Samuel but we've recovered none of our injured and are going into the match slight dogs. I've not seen the lineup yet. Go 'horns!

Football v. Football
As the Hornet's prepare to welcome Aston Villa to Vicarage Road tomorrow, a familiar name to U.S. (oblong) football fans emerges in the person of Randy Lerner. Lerner, owner of the Cleveland Browns since his father's death in 2002, acquired the Birmingham club three weeks ago for an estimated $125 million.
Lerner, who attended Clare College in Cambridge in the 1980s, developed a passion for (round) football during his stay in the U.K.

Vegas
Sad to say I did not find a line on the FA or League Cups. Vegas is essentially down to two companies on the strip (though I did try the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood as well). The closest I came was a UEFA championship futures line at one of the Harrah's properties. On the plus side, I did get to see Chelsea/Man City while waiting on my poker tournament.

Bolton Wanderers (0-1) 0-1-3 1 pt.
Heartbreaking! After a hard-fought game, Tal draws a foul off Dan Shittu in the penalty box 6 minutes into added time and Gary Speed converts the penalty kick to end the game and the Hornet's shot at another league point.
Aidy opted for defense in the second half, dropping in Jarrett at midfield for striker Smith.
Play was brutal at both ends in the added time with Meite and Fortune drawing yellow cards for the Bolton Wanderers in added time, but the home team capitalized on their chance to take the three points.
Next match is Aston Villa at Vicarage Road next Saturday, Sept. 16th, with a late afternoon start putting kickoff at 11:15 St. Louis time. I'll be on stage downtown from 11-1 and will have to relive the match through the boasting on the message boards. Go ' orns!

Nil - Nil at the Half
From the MatchCast POV, it looks to be the most aggressively played half I've 'seen' from the Hornets to date. They were in control almost half the time and are taking it to the Bolton Wanderers (especially Tal Ben Haim - recipient of a few fouls). Malky MacKay earned a yellow card at 37 minutes in, but we have "Super Jay" DeMerit in reserve today if that gets to be a problem.
Aidy's made a couple other changes as well. Foster, on loan from Man United, is back in at goal after sitting out the fixture against the parent club and newly reacquired striker Tommy Smith is in the line-up as well.

Game Day - Bolton Wanderers
Got in from Vegas at 2 AM today (more later) and managed to get out of bed for this match. After a break for the qualifiers, we are away against the 4-pointer Bolton Wanderers and line-ups have been announced so on to it.
