thabucks Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 1 minute ago, Stevo985 said: Could the reason we paused the development that we were waiting for these developments? And they'll kick off again soon now that it's done? Seems the most plausible explanation based on the vacuum of info since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have you jumped to that conclusion? Genuine question. Al I've seen is Atairos and Orascom are involved in large infrastructure projects. The proposed plans for the North Stand and surroundign areas certainly fits into that bracket. Is there something I'm missing that people are suddenly so sure this means a new stadium? or is it the usual people drawing conclusions they want to hear? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 15 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15 (edited) Orascom have a lot of experience in light, heavy and high speed rail. Maybe they could help build the metro to Villa Park / Star City, or even build new heavy rail stations near Star City. There has to be something afoot bringing in a guy like this to sit on the board? I mean, why would you unless some very serious construction work is in line? These guys are very serious players. If they don't like the prices they've been quoted they could easily just buy a UK contractor as their entry in the UK market and set them, to building the new stand. They could be eyeing up this new HS2 link to be privately built? The world is your lobster on this guessing game.

Yeah as I mentioned earlier, I think this could actually mean the redevelopment goes up to an even larger scale. With surrounding areas initially not in plan originally now being included for a grander development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely aren't just going to stay as we are as the poorly communicated December message indicated I agree. If I was to predict - I think a new, custom built women's stadium will be constructed located next to the brookvale academy facility. I think we re-develop VP rather than new build, it is part of the club's uniqueness. And doesn't Andy Street and the club have to justify the Witton station being re-built too, so a larger re-generation of the area will be key for funding imo. Expansion of BMH too. How much land do we have to build on at BMH? I recently read about Ajax and Atlanta United's new training ground plans - housing facility for young players and media production studios/spaces too.

jayEm Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I've always felt like the biggest issue with the North Stand rebuild was the 2 years it would have taken to build it leaving us without a fourth stand. If you could build the stand and magically slide it into place overnight I reckon we'd absolutely be going ahead with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Atairos CEO Michael Angelakis one of four new director appointments for #avfc listed at Companies House.

useless Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Atairos' investment is in V Sports but the recent directorial appointments are to Aston Villa and all it's related companies, including NSWE Stadium Limited, 1874 Developments Limited, the women's team, and so on, I think there's about ten of them on companies house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s £220k per house. That’s 88 million right there. £200k for a house in Aston? You’ve got to be kidding! Besides I don’t think the future for increased revenues is bums on seats, it’s all about TV and sponsorship deals which can be increased globally, which is why our new partnership with Artairos is happening I assume.

Quick look on Rightmove at houses for sale withtin half a mile of VP, including a few in that group of roads behind the Doug Ellis. They range from 170k to 200k.
