Watching the interview again, his comment about contracts could be more about the outsourcing of our merchandising to fanatics and catering etc. something Wyness did with Everton also to much criticism. Now it’s being brought back in house with an elite brand producing the kit we should hopefully see our commercial income rocket.

Great players as they are, we’ve proven with Rogers you don’t need to pay top dollar for top players. Think I’d prefer Rowe who could be as good potentially for less than a 3rd of the price of Olise & Eze.
-
The fans which stop going will be replaced by those willing to pay, its simple supply and demand and that’s why we aren’t increasing capacity right now. The rarer the product the more that can be charged, its modern football economics. The has to raise prices in order to keep up with the established clubs who’ve had a massive head-start financially and who have also been more commercially savvy. I don’t necessarily agree with it but the waiting list shows that any season tickets not renewed due to costs will be brought by someone else. There is no loyalty towards fans anymore just increasing the bottom line.

Doubt they could if we got permission to build a wider stand …
-
Forest are adding 600plus premium seats with shipping containers … ugly but as a short term measure above the corner flag restaurant it could be something the club will look at as there’s wasted space above it currently.
-
Key words ! As I said before the proposed new corner where the trinity met the north stand had more rows by removing the walkway. By reprofiling the trinity lower tier you can add rows so any lost GA seats can be replaced whilst adding additional GA+ seating.

The premier league has exploded in terms of global reach and popularity since the Lerner era badge and to international fans and brands it is synonymous with AVFC. The new NSWE era badge is an evolution of that design - I’m sure someone in marketing and advertising can sum up better than I ever could why they’ve chosen to do this rather than a full new design. I get why some don’t like it and prefer the nostalgic round badge but it has the lion the name and the year we were founded - it conveys what it’s supposed to and I hope upon launch we will hear more regarding the reasoning behind this design choice. I don’t think for a second it’s been done for egotistical reasons by Heck and if he truly believed the round badge which I’ve always thought was underwhelming was the right one to grow the brand moving forwards it would’ve stayed.

Interesting no sleeve sponsor so that’s gunna be different and presume a lot bigger deal than the current one…

It’s not Heck’s badge it’s NSWE … If they were suitably blown away by the round badge do you think they’d let it be changed a year afterwards ? Why is it the Lerner badge and not Paul Faulkner’s. Yes Heck would’ve been behind it but ultimately it is Nas & Wes’s badge as it will define their ownership in terms of badges. Or is it cause a lot don’t seem to like Heck they get away from being associated with it ?
-
WHO says it’s not been approved by the FA ? Not seen that anywhere … I trust the club have done the required due diligence with the badge in terms of liaising with the FA.
-
I wonder if we will be going forwards using a darker shade of claret for the shirts, etc. The announcement of Betano appears to be a deeper shade than used currently and the badge does stand out well against it.
-
We would need to prove it was in the communities beneficial interests in order to obtain the CPO required. Losing X amount of houses but gaining Y benefits thus adding value to the whole area. If it’s for the wider greater good of the overall majority of residents, then harsh as it is yes it is ok and a few shouldn’t get in the way of regeneration.
-
Rudimentary sketch of the amount of parkland required … you’d need to cpo a bunch of houses to negate right to light issues also.
-
You wouldn’t be encroaching into the park by more than 20sq metres … Relocate any trees which would be in the way, contribute to improvements to the park and I’m sure the council would oblige.
-
If you look at the plans for redevelopment of the north stand, the corner which was adjoin it didn’t have the walkway and had an additional 6 rows of seats in comparison to the rest of the lower tier. Certain sections would need to be retained for disabled fans but not the whole length.
-
It would’nt need to carry any more weight as with the new main stand at Anfield the additional tier and new roof would be constructed behind then joined to the stand once the old roof was removed. No need to reduce capacity whilst the work was going on. I think it’s a more realistic solution long term than moving grounds to get Villa park to over 60k
-
Only way to do it is to purchase houses to enlarge the site and remove the right to light obstacle … A 19/20k trinity Road Stand, with a new North Stand of 14k+ takes us to 57/58k before the Witton is looked at which you’d expect to take us to 62-64k seater stadium - 4 separate stand identities. It’s gunna mean moving people from their homes .
-
Both the SAF stand at OT and the Main Stand at Anfield would tower over the current Trinity stand. An extension to it wouldn’t encroach massively on the parkland but houses would need to be demolished. You would make the current 2nd tier a bit smaller then add a 3rd tier above. It would easier to build and extend behind it than the Witton.
-
It could be easier is many respects to enlarge the main Trinity Road stand which’s current capacity is just under 13’000 compared to the main stand at Anfield is just over 20’000. it would involve the need to purchase a small section of the park and again buy houses, for circulation and negate right to light issues.

V Sport Investments Ltd - More Villa Clubs around the world?
thabucks replied to MotoMkali's topic in Villa Talk
it’s definitely worth exploring a partnership with their American owner to purchase a stake in them similar level to our initial investment in Vitoria Guimares… -
What do you make of Morgan Rogers and his fbref stats specifically his possession and passing stats ?
