Witton trains are every half hour after a certain time at night so that doesn't help

Depends how many coaches you put on. Aziz coaches in Sparkbrook have 6 coaches available immediately at very reasonable prices. It's all very well talking about fancy metro systems and the like but in case you hadn't noticed the city's bankrupt. I really doubt the wisdom of tying Villa Park expansion to major public transport improvements and 'modal shift' because that takes massive public expenditure and years. It will not happen before the euros and I worry Birmingham will lose out in hosting Euro 2028 without it let alone 10k extra Villa fans being able to get to games.
Excellent, that's 240 people sorted.  What about the other 49,760?

I guess if some wait for the second trip (an hour or so after the final whistle I'd guess?) there's another 240 sorted.
Well if you bothered to look at their website they're 72 seats each. 6 of them at 2 X 2 mile trips to the city is 864 an hour. Run that lot in 5 other directions and that's 4,320 people removed to other transport hubs or car parks very efficiently. And it would cost peanuts and could be sorted very quickly. But never mind we'll all wait for the trains to get sorted. Just don't hold your breath.

I can’t believe Nas and Wes haven’t been on the blower to Aziz Coaches of Sparkbrook at some point. What with the well known lack of coach companies in the area, their fleet of six reasonably priced ones alone would fundamentally move the needle for the club.

What a weirdly random post.

Obviously I am overlooking the ability of coaches to seemingly make two round trips to Villa Park and back in an hour when most of us fail to travel to the m6 junction once in an hour let alone town and back, twice.

I would hope the owners know that they relocated to Plymouth last year.

I may be being cynical but I’m spotting a flaw in the Aziz coaches plan.

If the Aziz coach depot doesn't have those inflatable men with the wavy arms outside, then I for one will be highly disappointed.

Unfortunately we've committed to using Aziz Coaches, so there's no going back.

I noticed the Foo Fighters are performing at Villa Park next summer. So when does redevelopment actually start?

Some interesting comments on the Aziz Coaches Facebook page:

"The Honest about this company is that the new generation and there father Naz and zahoor have robbed there mother and younger Brother. After the death of Abdul Aziz he gave all the business to his wife and younger son. the mother/granmother got robbed by her older son zahoor and Naz, who took the shares of there mother by fake sign. the younger son munir gave his 75% share free to his nephews for free as they where causing alot of issues. as they say what goes around will come back around . Already Vosa doing there investigation on this company for doing fraud on driving cards. they already been raided by armed police few months ago for something very serious. KEEP CALM LET KARMA FINISH IT."

How about a helipad on top of Villa Live/The Warehouse?  Could run regular shuttle flights on matchdays to the various shires but not town obviously as we're not allowed to drink there.

Aziz Air have just bought a fuckload of Chinooks and would be well up for it.

Was this the Plymouth police raiding, I've lost track now?
