Villa Park Redevelopment

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

It's a disgrace etc etc

So-called match attenders.

Is that a woman selling flowers from a stall in one of those mock ups? Where’s the lager, Purslow?

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.

If you sat in the UH with one for the Everton match it would've been the size of a triffid by full time such was the heat generated by the sun blasting through the glass.

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 thought of the film  "Oliver" and Mark Lester singing "Who will buy my wonderful red roses"  when I saw that image on the website !!!

Looking at the arial picture, the Holte End is shouting to be extended out over Trinity. Surely than can be done fairly cheaply and give a few thousand extra seats.

Is that a Wimpy burger bar in the distance? "Trying to get that feeling that I had back in '81..."

Haha yeah, they take our bottle caps off us but a nice terracotta plant pot is actively encouraged! 

Reminds me of:

Those renders look cracking. MASSIVE improvement on that grey monstrosity we currently have.

Only question mark I'd have is building the badge into the brickwork - Feels a bit too permanent considering they change the crest more than night turns to day!

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

Witton Lane looks the same to me, it’s Trinity Road is kinked. I think.

Wonder if the flower stall will sell funeral lilies for when we get the inevitable home draws against Manure in the Cups (still can't believe that draw last night!  )?

[Risso]

Witton is definitely blocked off, the end of the road is now a continuation of the pedestrianised bit outside what will be Villa Live.

In that shot, is the floodlit pitch at the bottom the new inner-city academy ground / training area?

Yes, that is already under construction

Will we definitely get planning permission? I don't trust the council.

I wonder where the player's entrance/car park will move to?  Hopefully there will still be an opportunity for the nippers to collect autographs, if that still happens these days.

It looks like there's a coach park the Trinity side of Villa Live.
