I go everywhere and find my trip to Villa Park no more or less complicated than anywhere else.From the north west its 1:40 minutes drive, I park for free and walk for 25 minutes.

That wasn’t in use too long so should be okay.dont forget the red stripe

I will be interested to see if and when they can improve the facilities in The Doug Ellis Stand . It desperately needs some more space and upgrading

Early plans I know, but if you look at the image showing the cross section of the new stand, lookimg beyond at the Trinity, it appears the 3rd tier has been extended forwards slightly in one part. You can also see a new upper corner bit which I presume will be a big exit point into new concourse.

I think I put together less shoddy documents than that for my GCSE geography coursework.

Early days obviously, but although there is reference to transport issues in the consultation, there isn't much in what's been published to give clear indication as to how they may be resolved, and in particular the connectivity between VP and the city centre after a game.
Those pictures look like a kid’s O’Level project.

They do a timeline of the ground's history: Holte rebuilt in 1994 for example. They left out the rebuild and renaming of the Witton Lane Stand in 1993!
