Villa Park Redevelopment

[Drummond]

That looks horrible.

In comparison to what we have now, I agree, but in comparison to other new stadia, it's miles better.

Didn't Spurs buy up a load of tertiary land around their ground and build there? I seem to remember some smaller businesses holding out and causing a nuisance. There is plenty of that type of land North of the city centre, near the Jewellery Quarter and Newtown Row etc. A new stadium would easily fit in that space. Near to Snow Hill, and the tram and within 15 mins brisk walk of New Street too

I think Arsenal's ground is shite, a soulless bowl. Just a bigger version of Reading's ground.

Would rather stick to Villa Park than do that.

If you are planning to build a new stadium, it needs to be unique and not an identikit stadium. Tottenham and proposed Everton stadium for example.

The difference being that the Spurs and Everton stadia are more recent. Spurs in particular were able to look at what Arsenal had done and improve on it in pretty much every way.

That looks horrible.

Oops the teacher's back, everyone put the toys away.

[Axl Rose]

I don't like that one, looks like the outside of a Mediterranean airport

😂 You're right, actually!

[pablo_picasso]

Like this?

Thats got a similar feel, but it's not quite right for us.

Reminds me of a train station a bit with that roof...

Is it on Mount Olympus?

AI does some weird shit so but the other one that looked right (from the first 4 it came up with) was...




I preferred the steps up to the ground though.


EDIT: JUst don't look too closely at the river, houses and cars.

This, with the steps you showed earlier, the mosaics, the stained glass windows, etc, is pretty much how I would like to see our cathedral of a stadium.

The Holte shows us the way. Wrap that around the rest of the stadium & it would be the greatest stadium in the world...

That looks horrible.

It’s the cheerleaders and Pom poms isn’t it?

It looks a bit like a factory.

It looks a bit like a factory.

A factory of joy.

It looks a bit like a factory.

Yeah, thats it nailed.

A factory.

From Germany.

In the 40's.

It looks a bit like a factory.

A nice nod to Archibald Leitch, who in his only obituary was simply described as a factory architect.

[PeterWithe]

It looks like the Aston Transport Museum, no bad thing.

Heck has had 24 hours to decide on something and we've come to a decision in a few hours this afternoon. Get that one with the steps built, and be quicker about it than you were with the badge.

[VillaTim]

glad some of the posters here aren't architects

Villa Park wouldn't look out of place in the JQ, and I mean that in a good way.

Could it be possible  that ,in the back of Heck's mind, that the proposed 'delay' might get the Blues US owners interested in a groundshare of a new stadium ?
Fans would be up in arms but we have 2 sets of US owners whose main aim is revenue.
