Villa Park Redevelopment

That would be years away.

It’s another example why not to take the renders too seriously. They’re not planning documents.

The original one had a flower stand at the north / Trinity corner, for example.

Of course, I just wonder if it'a  nod towards doing more community related stuff than we had in the original design to grease the wheels a bit.

Yeah, that is almost certainly it, being 'good neighbours'.

There had better be a farmers market on for the first game, otherwise they can have my ST back

Just read this elsewhere, and it struck me as true, but I think the reuse of the old academy building will actually look better.

It's also reusing a Victorian building.

They never show these things when it's feckin freezing

Is there difference in sqm between The warehouse and Villa live ?

There must be because they originally wanted to house all the club's administrative function in Villa Live (which tbh I found a bit odd). That's now going in the stand.

Or with a massive queue of punters waiting to go in, a la Holte Suite

Good points and looks all right, to be fair.

So that’s where the fun zone has been right?
Do we know where it will move to?

Asking for a just 4yo preparing to take up her 3rd yr of being a ST holder and her lil’ Sis. The most important part of the day for them!

We’d better get a move on to get those trees grown to hang the lights off.

When I visited Bodymoor Heath a few years ago I remember looking at the trees which were on the perimeter and remembering how they were newly planted when I first went there as a 13 year old. It was a bit sobering tbh.

Those renders of Aston on a balmy summer evening, where is the pissing rain, meat wagons and steaming piles of horse shit

I do like the retention of the old bus depot though

Are they doing something with that too? It’s an events space at the minute isn’t it?  Majestic or summat.

[pauliewalnuts]

It’s not ours to do anything with is it?
