Villa Park Changes & Commonwealth Games

[Smirker]

- Rebuilt North Stand, a brick structure to compliment the Holte but also a modern approach that looks to the future
- Work on the Trinity and Doug Ellis stands, new cladding or artwork on the former just to smarten it up a bit, new roofing and maybe another tier on the latter
- Possibly new roofing on the Holte to blend in with work on the other stands

This is what I would like to see.

I'd like heated seats as well, please. Maybe a telly in the back of the seat in front for when I get bored.

USB ports in the seats for charging phones.

I would like a curtain between the Upper Holte and the Witton that we can shut when it gets a bit nippy.

And while we're at it I'd like one across the front of each stand that we can shut when we're capitulating to teams like QPR.

Tables and chairs in the concourse so you can sit down to eat your pie with a knife and fork.

When we have a 60,000 seater stadium we will be a European powerhouse and the days of capitulation to teams like QPR will be a distant memory :-)))

Honestly though, I really want to see what these plans are.

Come on Villa show us a render. Or at least describe how it looks.

Somebody should do a mock up made out of Lego.

If I built a football stand, I'd make sure that all along one side of the concourse is a bar.  All the other side of the concourse would be toilets.

Ground breaking, i know.

If I built a football stand, I'd make sure anybody over 6 foot can sit down comfortably. Only sat in the North Stand once and I can only assume it was built with children and midgets in mind.

I seem to remember there was a bit of a kerfuffle regarding the dimensions of the North stand was built in the70's......

I understand Mazrim, once of this shire, was a Senior Project Lead

I'm curious as to what these exciting plans are and welcome an update to the stadium/ground, however I can't understand the clamour to add an additional 20k seats to the capacity - "build and they will come" is often cited on here but the reality is we seldom sell out and the likelihood of selling 60k seats per game - unless we grant the visiting clubs more generous allocations - is in my opinion over optimistic - the  reality of the stadium being 1/2 or 2/3 full on most match days is foreseeable - even with generous discounting or the possibility of an increase in tourist visitors is only likely to add hundreds rather than thousands to the gates· Hopefully the plans are iconic and we become an innovator once again which will make us proud - Whilst I recognise we have a large fan base I just don't think it will fill up a 60k stadium - in my lifetime of watching the Villa we have seldom achieved filling the ground on a regular basis - perhaps the post war boom years when grounds were filled all over the country was the last time - I don't even think the draw of European football will make any difference either

I have it on good authority that this was the mock up Randy had designed whilst waiting for his tattoo:
