Villa Park Redevelopment

[Richard E]

I initially thought it said ‘Whorehouse’, which clearly says more about me than it does about Aston Villa FC

My god it would then be 24 - 7 venue !!

Leighton keeps popping up on my timeline...had to mute him.

The new 'warehouse' (we're a football club not some sort of dance venue in digbeth) on the plan pictures I've seen has the current/old/not so sure 'shield' plastered all over it.

What an absolute shambles

Should we get rid of  the Holte Pub that we own then ?

Don't bite, ignore this tedious troll

Time will tell, hopefully the vibe is more Hacienda than Ocado Fulfilment Centre.

I did think to myself ‘I wonder how long before it’s nicknamed the whorehouse’

Meanwhile a 23,500 venue is just being built next to the etihad. I find it quite depressing all this. It's like Deadly is in charge of it.

Not going to change the football fan experience though.  The Man City owners may be part investors, but their money is limitless and I don't know if any income can form part of their FFP accounting?

VP is massively popular with fans of other clubs, based on the groups i'm in that are about grounds it's a contender for most popular in the country. That's even allowing for those that say the upper concourses are shit, as are apparently the views if you're in the top corner. I don't think a lot of us realise just how high an esteem it's held in by others.

Mainly because they win here.

Soon to be a thing of the past.

Have you news on a new stadium?

[Flin5tone]

We need answers from the club , not pathetic quotes on the website about looking to the past and future with a weird mixture of crests and going back on the designs for the stadium
 

We need the new chap to actually tell us what's going on . Only Villa could mess up on this. Thought we'd turned a corner but that ridiculous crap shield is still being used. We had a VOTE on this

It seems like we're penny pinching

I would of thought the bars and eateries will be open on match days if so it will definitely improve the match day experience. It just feels like other clubs are powering ahead with huge plans while we seem to be dragging our feet and looking to cut costs.

[Clampy]

It seems Wilma is back because hardly anyone can bothered anymore to respond to his fake misery. Keep it going.

[Des Little]

Genuine question, how would Villa Live be sustainable financially? How many fans are really going to use it at any other time than match day? I’m asking because I have no idea how it would come close to breaking even.

I've never been convinced, we struggled to sell tickets for that bike thing last week because we are not a City Centre/decent location for public transport. The Holte Suite does OK for corporate events and exhibitions but beyond that I can't see it myself. As I said earlier, concentrate on the ground and have temporary hospitality outside for games and extend it for concerts and other events.

[Billy Walker]

I think it has decent potential for being a live gig venue for "smaller" artists/productions, a bit like the AV Leisure Centre was, back in the day.
