Demolition

We're knocking down the Village & Ticket office

Be sad to see the building go, happy memories of visiting the Village, even had a brief spell behind the tills as a youngster

Knocking down the academy too. That will create a lot of space. I hope they find another home for the family zone i know a lot of people enjoy going there with the kids pre-match. It will be interesting to see how they use that space it will be huge once the buildings go. Not sure about the viability of a hotel in that particular location but no doubt they will have done their homework.

I thought this had already been discussed on here or is it my old age again?

Your right it has. There was speculation that they were going to bulldoze the offices during the summer break. The planning permission has only just been granted though thats why it"s in todays news.

Where the ticket office is now used to be a BT workshop where I was based for a couple of years around late 80's. The shop is where our stores were with offices on upper floors.

My Dad must have worked at that BT workshop. He's often mentioned how often there were footballs being kicked over the stands there.

I saw an advert on LinkedIn this morning for Fanatics, for a Head of Retail to be based at Villa Park.

How? Tonev would only have been a toddler at most.

I just wondered whether us capping season tickets at 30,000 is yet another clever forward planning strategy by our owners and leadership team. If we demolish the North Stand at the end of this season ( assuming we’re still in the Premier League) Villa Park will only have a 35,000-36,000 capacity,  take away the away allocation which we’d no doubt reduce during development that still allows us to cater for all existing season ticket holders plus a few thousand available on a match by match basis ? Just a thought.........?
