Those pictures look like a kid’s O’Level project.
The cross section of the stand looks decent but would hope it has some 'Villa Park' touches on the outside such as mosaics, stained glass and Holte type stairs rather than a more generic look like Anfield's Main Stand. https://twitter.com/Stuartlanky211/status/1541739866379243521/photo/1
Great sleuthing, and insight, FatSam.
FWIW I'd like the stand to be named 'The McGregor Stand' with his statue given pride of place on the proposed 'Villa Way'.

That wasn’t in use too long so should be okay.dont forget the red stripe Well done, a Ron Atkinson "Spotters Badge" © for that distant memory !Brown and red metal , this must have been end of line sale and Doug couldn’t resist 😃Wasn’t Aston Manor Brewery (owned by HDE) also cladded in identical fashion at the same time?

I also hope the colouring of the stand indicates brickwork rather than brown cladding.
Getting more events staged at Villa Park is surely one of the considerations - more concerts, Europa League final, international matches will all give us a big revenue boost given we don't really do any of these at the moment. The Villa Live venue will be important too - can see it being used for things like Darts and Snooker, these already take place in the exhibition hall at whatever Coventry/Wasps ground is called now.

Aston Arena? The Saunders Suite?

Aston Arena? The Saunders Suite?It's also an anagram of Villa Vile, which certain people will take much pleasure in. I didn't think about it when I completed mine, but maybe some of us who haven't already submitted their survey can mention the name.

Hadn't thought of that but you're right the small heath tramps will be all over that. Massive own goal. I've also already filled in the questionnaire so too late for me. I think this is something we need to get through to the club before it's too late but I don't know how we could do that.
