On the basis that Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham, Man City, Man United and Liverpool all have bigger grounds than us. Everton will have soon.You think Villa are only the tenth biggest club in England?Everybody else has boosted their capacity or has plans to do do. I'm not asking for us to do anything out of the ordinary. Expand, as all our competitors, and Sunderland, have done.
There is an immediate rush. Supply does not meet demand. Obviously nothing will happen before next summer at the earliest, anyway, so announce proposals to expand but make them conditional and put them on hold if we have a disastrous season.
I've never been in another ground that I felt had a soul. Really don't care about them. Given a choice between 33,000 watching Villa from a sparse Holte, beholden to an aged Trinity in a world that doesn't care, or 60,000 watching a team trying to batter all-comers in The Best New Ground In The World, I'll go with the new.

Where do the other 27k fans come from?
The West Midlands is the biggest urban conurbation outside London, and we're the biggest, most successful club in it. We've also got all of the surrounding counties where there aren't any big teams to draw from. Birmingham is also the youngest city in the country, so that means loads of untapped fans just waiting to come to see us.
