Me too. I am also keen to see the phase 2 plans - and the Master Plan. I would be really interested to see what the proposal is for the Doug Ellis Stand.

It is next Thursday. Papers published for it yesterday.

On office space, the Villa Live plans have a whole level for commercial - so I expect it will be there. In terms of timing, I re-watched one of the Christian Purslow interviews on this - and he said two years from the submission of the planning application - that was September 2022 - so completely delivered by the start of the 24/25 season?

Confirmed that a decision will be taken at the planning committee on 22 December. The City Council's planning officer recommends that permission is granted. https://birmingham.cmis.uk.com/Birmingham/Document.ashx?czJKcaeAi5tUFL1DTL2UE4zNRBcoShgo=HYl18A8JEP90vgdzXf2oOpTObV7m0ASzbhQ%2fmp3Q9v%2bHGU0HadCdSw%3d%3d&rUzwRPf%2bZ3zd4E7Ikn8Lyw%3d%3d=pwRE6AGJFLDNlh225F5QMaQWCtPHwdhUfCZ%2fLUQzgA2uL5jNRG4jdQ%3d%3d&mCTIbCubSFfXsDGW9IXnlg%3d%3d=hFflUdN3100%3d&kCx1AnS9%2fpWZQ40DXFvdEw%3d%3d=hFflUdN3100%3d&uJovDxwdjMPoYv%2bAJvYtyA%3d%3d=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&FgPlIEJYlotS%2bYGoBi5olA%3d%3d=NHdURQburHA%3d&d9Qjj0ag1Pd993jsyOJqFvmyB7X0CSQK=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&WGewmoAfeNR9xqBux0r1Q8Za60lavYmz=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&WGewmoAfeNQ16B2MHuCpMRKZMwaG1PaO=ctNJFf55vVA%3d

I believe that the application is likely to be on the agenda for the City Council's planning committee on 22 December, so we should know if permission is granted before Christmas.

I'm just bumping this to see if anyone has any good ideas about how to find out the details of V Sports SCS. It seems companies in Luxembourg don't publish much information - as @OutByEaster? says - so wondered if anyone had any other suggestions?

Does anyone know the deadline for the City Council to consider the planning application? I've looked on the page and can't find it. I'm assuming around Christmas time?

I'd like to know the loads of managers who would be able to get more out of the squad please?

Thanks everyone - this is what I was talking about: https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2019/10/30/introducing-1874-seasonal-memberships-available

Does anyone know if the club plan to open it in the Doug Ellis for the upcoming season? I can only find information about it from 2019/20.

I'm really keen to know the full plan - do you know when the club are going to share the master plan for the Doug Ellis and Holte End proposals?

It is clear to me that it will be the Doug Ellis Stand that will be demolished and rebuilt to get us to 60K. I expect that will mean the closure of the road - and pedestrianisation.

True - but Everton’s statement also said that too. So either it was a 2 year deal, which hasn’t been renewed or a multi-year one with a break clause. We’ll see!

Anyone know when the next Fan Consultation Group is? Are we expecting the detailed plans to be shared then?

I'd be interested to know if the club are undertaking any renovation/investment work at Villa Park - things that they may have planned to do, but have bought forward while fans are out of the stadium. I'd also be interested to hear about their plans to invest in Villa Park (ie new ad hoardings to upgrade what's there) and how we're doing getting new partners on board.

Jack Butland is apparently available for £8m according to SSN. I say we flog Nyland and Kalinic and bring him in for competition for Heaton.

Easier to see on tv - better quality = more $$$$

My nerdy obsession - but I hope they upgrade the LED ad boards over the summer....

Any idea when the next meeting is with Christian P?

Agreed. Smith out!

He didn't make it into the Belgium squad this time, unfortunately. I am sure it won't be long until he does get called up, if he keeps performing the way he has been.

@Villareport. Villa Talk's favourite!

Apparently he's left on a permanent deal to Waasland - Beveren...!

It is brilliant that we're talking about our players in this context! I think Heaton may well get a call for this squad. It will be interesting to see what happens with Jack.

So, it sounds like Tyrone's getting called up. Heaton will probably be in there too. What about Jack?
