As a Arena car park season ticket holder, I have today received a letter from the club.
The main points of the letter are as follows.
"The club has been informed that starting in January 2013, the Aston Arena building (formerly known as the Aston Villa Leisure Centre) will be demolished. The process will take approximately 12 weeks ...."
Various information then about car park spaces at front not being available but the rear spaces still will be, and the entrance adjacent to the Aston Social will be unavailable impacting on traffic flow in and out on matchdays.
"You will have no doubt seen or heard numerous suggestions and possible Government backed plans for the site. We are certain that the demolition of the building is the first step towards alternative use for the site, which may or may not give Aston Villa the opportunity to retain use of the site for match-day parking. We remain in communication with the current land owners, and will ensure you are notified and updated accordingly."
