After the North Stand redevelopment our only option for further development would be the Witton Lane Stand. But this would only be possible if the Witton Lane and some of the housing on that side were removed. Does anybody here know how possible that is in terms of planning permission etc?
What will the capacity be once the North Stand is developed?In my opinion, if we could get the capacity up to 55k and improve the corporate facilities then that should be sufficient for villa. Hopefully, this would hopefully allow the club to drop prices a bit and get more fans in each week.Out of interest what do people think the elasticity of demand (is that the correct term?) is for ticket. If the match ticket was dropped to an average of £20, would the average attendance increase sufficiently, say ~50,000, to justify the new north stand?

VP just requires some attention, a new North Stand and the corners 'filled in'
