Quote from: Ads on September 06, 2022, 10:38:46 PMThinking about Phase II, opening up my Leicester tickets, it's come with a slip that has a shot of the Witton and Holte.The Trinity gets a lot of stick, but it's far more impressive in my opinion from inside the ground than what it replaced, outside there's other arguments to be had.But looking at the slip, you really get a sense that it's the Witton Lane that's the true shambles of a stand. Such a mangled mess on that corner.Totally agree. Trinity match experience is great - always take my 'guests' there. Every single one has been impressed with it and hence the whole ground as a result. Witton Lane stand was out of date 20 years ago. Great view from upper tier but one you want to get in to with 5 mins to go before the match. Shite facilities and no room. Replacement needs to follow asap the North Stand is done

The hospitality in The Trinity is by a very wide margin, the best in the Premier League. When I take clients they're always extremely impressed.
Looking at the plans and the materials being considered for the new North Stand, I must say I like the look of the narrow, "slit" style windows and wonder if there's any way, for the sake of uniformity, that such windows could be installed on the Trinity Road at a future date? Likewise the use of corten steel for doors etc. These would be relatively quick ways of giving the Trinity a facelift and adding bit of style and presence. As a final flourish, a bit of coloured or stained glass in the new North Stand and Trinity would tie it all up nicely with the Holte. Thinking very long term, we could run a competition to get local schools throughout Birmingham and the Midlands to design potential mosaics that could be used as signage on all the stands.

I always think they could do something with the sheets of metal on the outside of the Trinity even if it was just pictures of Villa legends . The metal Fascias look awful
