If you download the pdf on that link, it gives you a bit more info. Moving the pitchside entrance to the corner, re-configuring the Trinity a bit.

One bit of confusion - it talks about increasing capacity to over 50k by adding 7400 seats - surely that's not enough? Isn't the full capacity below 42k these days (it was 42640 for ages).

Although thinking about it, maybe moving the pitch entrance creates more room for seats.

Just missing the Wiiliam McGregor Ghost Train, the Alpaypalooza roller coaster, and the 4D Interactive Monosodium Glutamate Experience.

Last 2 seasons it's been a bit over 42k. Highest attendance last season was 42,045. I'm guessing they are going by number of seats, as there's some not currently used for segregation and so on.

Actual capacity is still about 42.6 but last season and this season we have not been able to hit that due to hospitality sales. 7/800 unsold seats reserved for hospitality  take our so call full house down to about 41800.

We are going to keep getting attendances just below 50,000 and it is going to mess with my OCD. 😡

Just as long as there's no Dollywood.

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.
I think it needs to be returned to its former glory. Rebuild a new one tier giant.

Yes, and split in down the middle and wrap it brown and red cladding on the outside.

In the spirit of making this a proper H&V row - rather than the hideous yogurt knitting consensus of niceness we've had so far today - I really dislike the proposed roof design on the new Witton End. And when did Trinity Road change its name?

Calling the Trinity Road Stand the "Trinity Stand" grinds my gears, it's name should remain as should The Holte End (not stand), the Witton Lane Stand and North Stand.

No sponsorships, no tributes, no arguments.

Could all be put on hold next summer if performances continue as they have been this year.

I do like it but as with everything Villa put out these days on paper/ CP talk it looks and sounds great but in reality it's crap
