Perfectly in keeping with the essence of Villa Park but also modern and fresh. Couldn't have asked for better. My thoughts exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Very much of a separate stand design in keeping with the traditional look of the ground. I am sure in previous designs gone back they may have been more of a rap-around. I thought it might have been 3 tiers for the corporate but perhaps that is in the internal part of the stand. Like the brick finish and the plans to have a clear and safe pedestrian walkway to Witton Station is a great idea. Seems to be influenced by the new Liverpool Stand, is it the same architects. Makes the Holte look a bit small now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen_Evans Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 The CGI makes the join between Holte End and Doug Ellis Stand look a bit odd. It's as if the latter goes all the way up to the goalpost roof, which in reality it doesn't. The modifications to the Trinity at the North Stand end look nice.

villanmac Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Going right off topic but I suppose connected to Villa Live, does anyone remember the early 2000s when they plonked a big screen in the middle of Villa park to watch the away day derbies? Before the days of streaming obviously, freezing your bollocks off in December watching a 0-0 draw v WBA. Brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’m all for this redevelopment but I wonder how much it will impact on our spending on the first team squad over the coming years, we’ve seen other clubs have to rein in their spending when they’ve built new stadiums etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's also why the investment in the academy, and building as strong a squad as possible now is important. To last us a few years. Don't think it tool Tottenham too long to get back to spend?

Which we can then invest in more players. Adding more seats Increasing time spent at the Stadium Improving food & drink facilities Improving the Club Shop. These are all great ways of coercing us to spend more cash on matchdays but in a way that will improve the match day experience and (unfortunately for some of the burger vans outside) see the club take a larger proportion of the money already spent on matchdays. We've invested enough into the 1st Team and Academy to allow us a year or two of buying just 1 or 2 bigger players than £100m+ every summer to allow us to reap more benefits in commercial revenue over the next 10-20 years instead Edited August 25, 2022 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this a few weeks ago, it's a **** terrible name, it gives you absolutely no idea wtf it is. Without context I thought we'd renamed Villa TV or something. All looks very impressive, so moaning about the name is a bit nitpicky, but they should really change it before we're stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the name as it seems like it's going to have a load of different uses. I suspect we will sell the naming rights to it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the FFP thread someone mentioned this is now not excluded, hence the recent loans. Edited August 25, 2022 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
