sharkyvilla Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The 10 years thing for me suggests sorting out the trickier aspects of increasing the Witton Land Stand capacity, moving the road and buying properties etc. The North Stand would be a fairly quick job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree. They're developing plans now. I would expect The North Stand to be a 2 - 3 year project. Probably after that some remodelling of the offices, shop etc around the rear of that demolishing existing buildings, the hotel etc. Then possibly if demand is there do something bigger with The Witton Lane stand. I also wonder if they might remodel The Holte End somehow to make bigger concourses. Randy did intimate interest in doing something to the ugly exterior to The Trinity before he lost interest. Maybe they might do something there. Really the new North Stand will take us to 50,000. Possibly doing something to Witton Lane takes us to 60,000. It's hard to see anything ever needing to be bigger than that unless we go on decades long domination Man United style. That's pretty much the size of West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs and new Everton. Even with regular Champions League that will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dappadan Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 3 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: The Birmingham Mail have an article on the redevelopment. Unfortunately it is just a rehash of things I already know. They do say though that the season ticket waiting list is up to 13,000 now though. I think we will just have to wait until the club announce something. And when they do so I expect them to actually do it. Instead of Dr Tony saying Villa Park would be 60,000 one day with no evidence or plans to back his statement up. Was 5k when I went on yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is another way of stating the official club line "no plans to redevelop villa park in the immediate future" I'm sure Purslow said it would be a 10 year plan, with 3 phases, the first of which would start next season? Or something along those lines. Edited July 6, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically the people who haven’t yet renewed. Purslow confirmed there was 13,000+ on the current waiting list - the 10,000 on the original waiting list pre-Covid and then another 3,000 added.

Not sure he said phase 1 would start next season, I think it was more like in the next couple of years depending on demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2021 Leicester are the latest club to announce Stadium expansion. They will still be behind us but it puts to bed the idea that it's not financially viable. Stadiums are being extended or rebuilt left right and centre. We have this big season ticket waiting list. Let's see these plans from NSWE brought forward ASAP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pahh, never mind the lose change, NSWE will want to build something that stands out like a unique super stadium that is recognised around the world as the home of Aston Villa. None of your cockney bowls or something that the council knocked out in Manchester or East London. If we build it, they will come!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather us spend three times the amount and keep a bit of character about the place though than have one of those soulless bowls as our home ground 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
