Villa Park Redevelopment

[itbrvilla]

Does anyone know what happened to the original Trinity mosaics and gable? I randomly found a doc in my OneDrive from Mac detailing the demolition of the Old Trinity road and it looked like they were trying to remove the mosaics (although not very well).

From memory dumped in a skip and someone rescued some of it.

A couple of the windows survived, but it was too much effort for ellis to preserve any of it. 24 years on and I’m still bitter.

So first home game (I can’t make) very soon but the  @AVFCsupport Twitter can’t confirm there is a fun zone for the kids happening.

I’ve not wanted to be critical over a lot of stuff being sorted out late in the day, but…there seems to be a HECK of a lot of stuff being sorted out late in the day.

Will email Lee Preece again, feeling less inclined to be discrete about private communication around this kind of stuff, though will ask permission to share, again.

Didn't Heck mention in his interview there would be a fun zone from the Everton game onwards?  I'm not 100% sure but I seem to recall something like that.

When I did the Villa Park tour about 15 years ago we were told that Randy Lerner had a couple of the old internal stained glass windows from the Trinity.

Probably at the bottom of the river in Cleveland for the last 15 years or so.

Aha - not watched it all and probably came out after I messaged on Twitter a couple of days ago. Many thanks. More useful than the club on here! (Lee Preece out of office until after the back holiday - wise man!!!)

Aston Villa is excited to confirm there will be a new Fan Zone at Villa Park for the 2024/25 season.

Villa host Arsenal on Saturday in the club’s first home match of the new campaign (ko 5.30pm), and supporters arriving at the stadium will see our Fan Zone is under construction where the players' car park was situated last season.

The exciting new area will be operational for our subsequent home fixture against Everton on Saturday, September 14.

Our stage and big screen will be moving to the area, effective from the Everton fixture, whilst external bars will be open for sales of food and drink from this Saturday.

There’s somebody down in the laaaaaaaaunge.

FFS! I'm not flying over from Catalonia to see a building site. It should be the other way round.

Looks very F1
