villa4europe Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 without hoping it descends in a pissing contest or shit slinging id be genuinely interested in the opinion of anyone who voted no in the poll @limpid no discussion in the poll but ok here? its a huge yes for me, its an outdated stand that I'm pretty sure still miserably fails the PLs disabled fan rules whilst at the same time increasing our corporate revenue enabling us to compete and hopefully the live building will benefit both the club, fans and the local community on non match days and whilst keeping the look and feel for VP, I think they've done an even better job than what i would have originally wanted they've exceeded my expectations and I'm really happy and excited about it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's incredibly exciting and like everything the current owners have done so far I back them 100% to get this right. However, my only small concern is that whilst I agree we need to ensure that VP is inclusive and better-accessible for disabled supporters etc there isn't any mention anywhere of rail-seating/standing areas or anything that might enhance the more vocal supporters or those who wish to stand and create the atmosphere. If we got this right we could have the stadium with the most electric atmosphere in England, rather than just more capacity for day-trippers and tourists etc. Interested to hear my fellow VT'ers opinions on this point.

My thoughts exactly, also worth noting we were one of the first clubs to put our hands up to trial it as well although that was before the current regime I believe?

Tayls Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Who on earth voted no to the planning application proposal? Must have been a fan of another team surely. Makes the result of the vote slightly flawed? Edited September 19, 2022 by Tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip to 19:10 Sorry, I wasn't disputing what you heard, I was just saying Preece is either just talking bollocks or someone is winding him us. They will never ever ever build a monorail from Villa Park to Aston Station. For a start off the monorail he talks about at Birmingham Airport isn't even a monorail, hasn't been for decades. It's far to short a distance to build a people mover, it would be quicker to just walk there than wait for thousands of others to hop on the rammed carriages. They work for thousands of people moving over a number of hours but not thousands of people all turning up at the same time wanting a ride. And way too coatly to build something that expensive and complex that's only used 25 odd times a year. It's madness, would never work.
