    1 game a week on average at times that normally won't clash with business events. Huge car parks, 2 motorways within 2 miles, a45, a452 dual carriageways,   an airport, a station that goes straight into Birmingham, within 10 minutes, new HS2 terminal 500m away,  Into London within 35 minutes, a new light railway going in to further increase capacity into Birmingham, entertainment center pre built with more space to around to develop. Hotels right there on its doorstep,  casino, cinema, its all there already. Its a staggering opportunity. 

    As for worrying about drunk fans staggering around, I have been one of those and the lack of pubs around villa Park tell you a story, there's not many staggering fans left, their not our future audience. 

    The premier league is a international competition,  its watched all over the world, we stand on the edge of being in the elite group of teams, we need a ground and facilities that can attract world wide fans for their holy grail visit and make the most of them while they are there.

    Agree with most of it. But the NEC hold way more cards than Villa and ultimately they won't benefit. It's also competition for their own interests (gigs, conferences, events should all be part of the plan for a new stadium) doing that on the doorstep of one of Europe's biggest leaders in the industry doesn't make much business sense.

    The NEC is the perfect location for this type of stadium. It has everything you need already there and the HS2 arriving within 5 years. The airport is in Birmingham, despite really being in solihull.  Its a big move but anyone that knows that area understands the potential for it, there's not a better site in country let alone Birmingham. 

    Until you have a sold out arena show and a packed conference on the same day as a home game. Not to mention NEC won't want a load of drunk football fans around whilst they're hosting a big business conference. 

  3. It's £68 for a seat for the Chelsea game. An 8pm, televised kick off. The ceiling to how much someone will pay per match is surely close. The season ticket waiting list it massive. I've been on it for 3 seasons now and I'm in the ten thousands. After last sunmers renewals and offering the waiting list season tickets, I moved 1000 places. There is a lot of money waiting to be paid if there were more seats.
