Quote from: Rico on December 07, 2021, 03:53:30 PMIf we're looking to move then surely the perfect location would be Erdington High Street. It might take a few quid to buy out all of the businesses, but it would be a great location. Two train stations, three if you want to walk a bit further to Chester Road. Easy access to the motorway network, and seeing as a lot of our support comes from North Birmingham, it would make getting to and from the match a piece of cake, and it would be a vast improvement on Erdington High Street as it is now. Sorted! (Only joking)Sutton Park. Massive, loads of parking, some nice pubs as well. And still in Birmingham.

LEE B claiming longbridge is a shit hole
We can't, won't and shouldn't move. Yes, the walk to VP isn't like going to Craven Cottage, but when you pass under the flyover after getting off at Aston station, there's no better sight or feeling than seeing the Holte come into view once you turn the corner.
I think what is needed to sort out the travel links is for the club to buy a big helicopter (maybe the biggest helicopter in the world). Every home supporter gets their own parachute. At the end of each game, Villa park could be lifted off magic foundations, flown around Birmingham and its environs, and each supporter could simply parachute out at their chosen location. When everyone is home, the ground could then be flown back to Aston.
The club should buy a load of Sedan chairs with handles long enough for six fingered hands. The noses need some employment so there'd be no worries finding people to carry them. As long as you don't want to go to Sherlock Street after the game it'd work fine.

That's what gave me the idea. The thames one has a capacity of 2,500 people per hour or 30 buses!I can think of better uses of public or private money than building a fucking cable car to get people to Villa Park.Cost 60m in the most expensive city in the world. How much would the other options cost?60m pays for more buses and trains not a bloody antiquated method of transport that’s good for people who want to get up mountains and hills, not so good when you’re trying to transport as many people as possible in short time frames across distance.
