Wouldn't swap it for VP in a million years. but they've got beer glasses that full from the bottom in less than 5 seconds - surely we need no better reason to demolish and start again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tomaszk Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2020 I do think Spurs' stadium is incredible, much better than most of the new bowls around like Arsenal and City. Don't care though, I'd rather redo bits of VP at a higher cost than move. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have all the top class corporate stuff to milk London money for all it's worth. I still don't buy the "it's not worth investing in new facilities" line. Clubs all over the country at all levels are building new stadiums and new stands. I am a little involved in this through work and there is loads of stuff going on. Why are they all doing this if it's not worth it? I've done corporate in The North Stand and it's really not up to scratch. I am sure once we are clearly established in The PL they will look at The North Stand. They are smart people who will have watched sport in all sorts of amazing stadiums around the world. No way can they look at The North Stand and think its up to scratch. After all we don't want to be competing in The Champions League like they claim to be aiming for with a stadium end looking like a home for tramps. The team is the product, get that right ( and its coming) and we can work on the packaging ( The stadium) They will know when the time is right. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we only go for a bigger North Stand in the way they redeveloped Anfield but NSWE are probably right in saying it won't happen any time soon.

Delphinho123 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Villa park just needs the corners filled in. Then it will be amazing. Doesn’t even need to add that much capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agreed just buy up peoples house, business and make VP bigger and better, may take longer but surely that would be cheaper than paying and buying for a whole new stadium right??

Doesn’t even need to add that much capacity. Pretty sure you could do that making it oval and add more tiers upwards. Arnt there stadiums that have 3 tiers. Or could bring the second tier further down past the middle with more seating added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Pretty sure when the General was on here in the earlier days of Randy, they had plans to fill in corners (Holte still on its own) and re-do the North stand and got us close to 55k. still a solid capacity that by any stretch. It’s about developing other areas of the grounds to make it a real hub. still think they should dig down for a multi level car park and stick a hotel on the site.

I said to my old man that’s our billionaire owner sat in a shed of a stadium. Say what you want about everyone wanting to invest in London but our structure is substantially better than a team with a SW postcode. I like that they've kept what look like original seats in that section of the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) With the talk of a new stadium I will state something obvious that from a quick glance no one else has.... The reason (insert team name) has built a new stadium is to increase revenue and they couldn't do that sufficiently at the old stadium location, we can and to a large degree. I don't believe we will ever move until VP has been fully developed and it has become blindingly obvious we need to move. That situation is so far away from today (probably several decades) it isn't even worth discussing. Edited September 30, 2020 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_Evans Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I would settle for Villa Park being made more beautiful even if it is never made bigger. I wonder what an imaginative architect could do with the Trinity, using the existing structure but redesigning the exterior. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Wes Edens mentioned that Villa Park was like the Fenway Park of English football. Let's keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
