If we are going to upgrade VP then the Commonwealth games stadium could be our home for 12 months.

Still a no from me, don't fancy a year watching ants from behind a running track.Start work after the last home game and get it done for the start of the next season, requesting starting the season with back to back away games if required. That would be enough to sort one stand out. Do the same with the other stand the year after. Would have to be next summer and the summer of 2021, let's have the ground looking as great as possible when Birmingham hosts the Britishempirewerentallbastardshonest Games.
I'd feel very uneasy about leaving VP. In an age where we are blessed to have a captain and manager who are local and love the club - Gareth Bale deciding to retire early in China for a million quid a week putting modern players' motivation in stark terms; a traditional, much-loved ground is one of the few things that helps anchor a club's identity. Players and staff come and go. Apart from the supporters what else does a club have to show for its continued existence? A ground as storied as Villa Park is too important to consign to the past especially if it's practical to do the refurb we require.
