mute point, there is no way England is hosting any major football tournament for a very long time after that shit show at Wembley last year.

England / UK will deliver a huge amount of cash and dwarf any other bid.

Won't UEFA tell us to do one after all the problems at the final?

Wembley is hosting CL final in 2024 I think so Uefa couldn't care less as Wembley is always a big corporate jolly for them.

Fair enough, I didn't know that.

Wasn't aware of that, that'll be handy for us.

So when we get to the CL final it'll be at Wembley.

Typical. Wait 40 years to do another EC final in style having been on a student budget to Rotterdam and all I get is a bloody Chilterns line train.

Can't find the VP-Redevelopment discussion thread, but here is the biggest update in years from the club on stadium refurb/expansion. Note first phase capacity increase to 50k...how bigger will further phases take it to?

Preliminary designs have been created to transform our iconic home at Villa Park including building a new North Stand, upgrading and expanding our hospitality facilities and creating an entirely new venue to bring our retail and merchandising activities, as well as other entertainment activities, into the 21st century. Capacity of the stadium would increase to over 50,000 upon completion of the first phase.

The plans would enable more Villa fans to enjoy a newly enhanced matchday experience as well as being a catalyst for change in our community and neighbourhood.

The Club will be embarking on a full public consultation with all stakeholders over the coming months to help shape the planning application and to ensure that the proposals fully acknowledge and incorporate the needs of the local community, the City and the wider West Midlands region.

We have appointed a full multidisciplinary design and engineering team to develop finalised designs and plans in time for a summer 2022 planning application.

Our new central Birmingham satellite academy at Brookvale, adjacent to Villa Park, has received planning permission and we are expecting construction to begin shortly.

Wonder how long it will take

Whatever it is, it needs to have a big AV marked out in the seats and nothing else as a nod to the past.

And perhaps no draft beer as a further heritage feature.

AV floodlights please
