sne Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Real Madrid making use of their renovated stadium. Not sure Birmingham will ever be able to compete with London or Madrid but who knows what a renovated VP or new stadium could bring. Quote Real Madrid and Florentino Perez have looked to guarantee a new stream of cash flow for the next 25 years. According to a report from MARCA and with details cited from Voz Populi, US based company, Legends, an expert in sport and event based experiences, has guaranteed Real Madrid €400 million a year in return for 20% of the new Santiago Bernabeu profits. It is expected that the agreement is for all non-football related events and experiences at the soon to be remodeled stadium. The deal will see Real Madrid bring in €250 million more on annual basis vs the figures they were bringing in from the Santiago Bernabeu in pre-pandemic environment. Legends has guaranteed the miscellaneous events will bring in €400 million a year, and if not, will pay Madrid the difference. The US based firm believes they can guarantee the figure because they expect profits far in excess of €400 million a year. https://www.managingmadrid.com/2022/1/28/22905591/us-company-legends-agrees-to-pay-real-madrid-400-million-a-year-report 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem for us is that we won't have a retractable pitch that disappears underground. That's what really makes the new madrid stadium multi-use. Also it seems the NFL is heading to Spain, we won't get NFL at VP and would struggle to attract any other sports apart from maybe rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, would require a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we are competing with if we aim to become a top European side. Financially we are minnows even with that massive TV-deal and PL price money. Not sure VP is ever going to make us money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find ways to get people to spend more money during games, keep them longer around the stadium and also increase capacity. Even with a large rebuild I fear VP might be limited in those regards. Delighted if the club finds ways to solve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The romantic in me wants to still be standing on the old Holte End but we have to push for expansion as a company, I hate the sound of that but it's the modern game. I hate what money has done to the game but we have to act, we are too big to accept the same fate as a Southampton or a Wolves and live a life floating around the middle of the table. We are not in London but we are ideally situated to maximize on a huge future fanbase, we have no competition in these parts really. The trend says this Villa Park will have us probably falling behind the pack that are chasing the scum6, we need to put the fans and the grass into a stadium with surrounding areas maximised to generate the the correct level of income that we need to compete Bricks, metal, glass etc are just materials, it's us and the grass that matter. Done correctly, and I think NWSE will, it can be just as special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should be locked up for what was done to the Trinity. The new stand is decent, but so ugly. Hopefully it can be saved with time and money spent on the exterior. As stands go the new Trinity is actually quite nice looking. It's just that it's compared to the absolute work of beauty that came before it that it's judged so harshly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same, the cost would be absolutely insane though so I think it would only be done by a Villa fan who literally didn't care about the cost to him personally. I think we have a grant total of zero of those fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just needs a tidy up and a new North Stand. It would be massively cheaper to build a new North Stand, buy all the houses on the south side of Holte Road and rebuild The Witton Lane stand, buy our own fleet of buses and employ our own drivers and rebuild Aston and Witton stations than buy a City Centre plot of land, demolish what's there and build a whole new stadium. You could add buying a few new trains into that too and you still wouldn't get to even half the cost of a new stadium. Pretty much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I don’t want to move from Villa park but we might have to so that we can increase revenue and maximise profit. HS2 if it goes ahead might mean we can steal a few Londoners. Maybe. But Ideally we can buy as much of the properties and land in and around Villa Park and expand on there. I love the Lucas Oil Stadium btw. Then there’s the Dallas Cowboys one which is epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue the comparison does make it look worse than it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I wonder if there is a generation difference in views about moving and staying. Move with the times or get left behind. I'd be up for moving but there's no space in the city centre and there's no point moving unless we are. If we stay the whole stadium needs updating which is difficult when the trinity and DE stands are both on top of roads along with the lack of concourse space. Only so much you can do. Staying also saves us £500-600m, which I don't think we'd make that money back? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
