Villa Park Redevelopment

[dave.woodhall]

The North Stand prices got racheted up this season on the premise that you'll have first dibs on the new ones and the view's the same as from the Holte End.

And last season too, my season ticket is nearly double what is was when we came up.

Has a contractor been appointed yet?

According to Villa website all tickets for the Terrace View and Lower Grounds against Burnley are sold out

I wouldn't be surprised given the time of year. People buying tickets as a present, having a day out etc

With all the free drink and food  - the Lower Grounds is not that bad a deal.

But has anyone been there?

Nothing to do with wanting to see a winning team go top of the table then?

You'd think people would be sick of stuffing themselves full of beige buffet food by then.

But isn’t it steet food ?

Redevelopment not going ahead.

Breaking: Chris Heck has paused plans to redevelop Villa Park.

#AVFC's president of business operations says it is currently a "bad idea" to demolish the North Stand. It would have reduced Villa Park's capacity to 36,000 from the start of next season and until 2025/2026.

Just read Chris Heck has put the plans to demolish the North Stand on hold.

[LeeB]

Yes!

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't care, but I guess that means VP won't be used in the Euros.

[AV82EC]

Hmmmm. Really unsure whether that's a good idea.

John Townley has just said that on Twitter. What the fucking hell? Has Heck just released his pathetic badge to deflect from the real news? What a start this twat has had to his Villa career!

Leaves three options imo:

- No redevelopment at all, despite the need for it. Could see the club doing this if CL revenues are imminent.

- They can redevelop the stand without demolishing it. No idea how, but Liverpool have just done similar.

- They've costed a new ground and it's cheaper in the long run. Any HS2 land going begging?
