@Dr_TonyXia - “We have very big plans for Villa Park. We finished a plan in China a few weeks ago. We handed it to the management team here. It’s fair to say they were shocked. It will be something really different from what we can imagine from other clubs" #AVFC

To me the North Stand remains a monument to stagnation, lack of ambition and corruption. A new stand will be a new start for the club. Bring it on Dr X.

When it was built, and for a good few years after, it was much admired.

You think Lerner would have upgraded it though.

The North Stand is an ugly outdated building. It needs flattening as soon as possible.

It's a ginormous space behind the North so there's plenty of wiggle room to do anything.

Being able to wiggle in the North Stand seats will certainly be a novelty

Only part of the ground I've never been in (silver the old ticket office) but I understand the lower tier seats are very cramped on the old terracing.

I'd like to see the lower tier of a new north stand really dwarf the lower Witton Lane.  I think it would make for a much better atmosphere with the away fans adjacent.

I have only sat in there once, in 2006, in the upper, and it was incredibly uncomfortable. I am 6'2 so quite tall but not hugely so, but I had the (sharp) edge of the back of the seat in front digging into my knees for 90 minutes.

I'd never sit there again.

I am 5 ft 8 (just about) and it is cramped for me.

[Bad English]

I would never sit in the North Stand again. Even Tyrion Lannister would find it a squeeze.

I too have only sat there once, I assume the leg room was designed with children and midgets in mind.

[Drummond]

The views are good though.

[four fornicholl]

I sat in the upper when Collymore scored against Madrid, I'd bought Villa Park 100 years Simon Inglis from the club shop, put it under my seat, and some fucker nicked it.

you're never far from a villain

Douglas Bader more like (one for the youth of today)

less of that please, disability is not a subject to be mocked in a thread about the size of football stadium seats

Seriously - Who is mocking a disability?

Merely used as a reference point  - albeit I concede lost on certain age generations

Maybe, but it would be still worse to mock disability in a thread about disability.
