Improving the Villa Park 'experience'?

A few ideas....

-giant goals that are swappable with standard ones at half time that are so big that even tonev could score in them.

- drainage on each row of the stadium to recycle all the tears from depressed fans and spit from angry ones.

- someone to hide in the away dressing room and steal the players boots just before kick off

- ejector seats to eject myself from the stadium quickly when You just can't take anymore.

On a serious note, they could do with some sort of Perspex screen or something on the side of the holte end because if you on the end which I sometimes am you get hit by cold breezes and rain.

When the guy calling to try and persuade you back as a business customer accidentally refers to them Liverpool...this club is ****.

 

He did correct himself very quickly in all fairness, but dear oh dear.

I think concentrating solely on the football side of things is, as Tom Fox might say, a false narrative.

 

There are so many other activities that the Villa Park experience could encompass; watercolour painting with Kieran Richardson (imagine for a moment row upon row of easels erected in the Holte End) or a gardening workshop with Jack Grealish (we could use the penalty areas as allotments - we have no other need for them).

I'm a big fan of the NBA so love the extra bits they include around the game.  I'm not saying to do that as football is very different, in a different environment and a different expectation.  Additionally the cost would probably have no financial benefit to Aston Villa and could come as quite an expense and given our finances would not be a good idea.  I do think the non-game entertainment is incredibly antiquated and needs revisiting.  TV's planted around the stadium showing basic information, once in a while presentations on the pitch and that's pretty much it.  I think improving the football is the key thing and would attract more people but I think improving the experience on non-football matters would also attract more people to the stadiums.  I would also like our ex-players involved in that somehow to bring back that we are a family club which include the players (I know players of today arent like that) but the players of a generation ago and more.

 

Who knows, focus on the football improvement obviously but I would like to see much more

Currently at VMF for the third time. I genuinely think that, all things considered, this is the best restaurant I have ever been to. Location, food quality, price... I can't think of anywhere better in this country.

Now, this experience isn't available on matchdays as far as I know. But if it was, well, that could be something amazing. Although it is very limited in terms of space...

Anyone else think that the bar is ridiculous at half time in upper Holte. 

Yesterday there were 13 people behind the bar, with only about 5 actually serving.

Why don't they have pints already (like at festivals) pulled ready to hand over, rather than pulling each pint individually
