OutByEaster? Posted March 6, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2019 I would be very, very surprised if the North Stand is redeveloped for the Commonwealth games. I don't even think it'll be considered until we're promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Why would we redevelop Villa Park? We fill it twice a season at the most. At the start of most games I look around and see 6-7k empty seats. As with most things in football it's all about the performances, and if we can improve those then the fans will start coming back and we can then start to think about increasing capacity. We've got much bigger things to worry about currently than increasing the number of empty seats in our stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be right surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t be demolishing it because they like a pile of rubble to look at. There’ll be plans for something big and shiny to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2019 It's not an application to develop any of the stands, but it is surely a precursor to some major development work at the ground. Maybe making space for a future development of The North Stand. Probably the shop and academy building can be built into the structure of a larger stand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine that this would be happening if we hadn't beaten Derby last month. The what if doesn't bear thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are apparently very ambitious so if it’s a relatively small project they would probably want to get it done regardless. I guess we’ll have a few nice surprises over the next few months/years. I don’t think infrastructure of this kind is under ffp restrictions, so money isn’t an issue. As for not beating Derby.....shudder... Edited June 19, 2019 by DaveAV1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
