The Villa live bit is interesting. Looks like the back bit that was left blank on the earlier images is going to be a carpark still, and there are two things behind the Villa live building that I can't quite make out what they are.

I like the market street bit, that would be good. Can't see many people buying a delicate orchid and sitting with it through a match though.

More elegant to throw than a cabbage, maybe?

Looks great though, this redevelopment.

Might be an optical illusion/delusion but Witton station looks to have moved towards town.

Fantastic
compromise with the corners but still looks like 4 separate stands, spot on in my view

Looks very very good. I'm excited.

Note to design team. If we change the badge..........get the right crest on the buildings.

God knows, we’ve all encountered plenty of optical delusion at Villa Park over the years

Those images look pretty good to me. They've retained the look of a traditional inner city stadium.

The cramped space around VP is a drawback in some ways, I suppose, but mainly it's what makes it a proper football ground instead of one of those soulless industrial parks that pass for stadiums these days.

It really does look smart. Just need a successful football team to play in it now.

Hope the CADs are true to life - looks like we're celebrating a goal at the Holte.

It looks like Witton Lane is fully blocked off in those shots, unless I'm mistaken. That's quite a significant move if so.

I didn't a line of WUMPTE buses waiting to ferry people back into Town.

It's a disgrace etc etc
