Villa Park Redevelopment

[LeeS]

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.

They'd have to close at least 2 of the stands when Blues were playing

What about Perry Bar dog track as a site?

It looks a bit like a factory.

Yep, intentional. It's a superb stadium to visit and especially much of what is around it that gets you there early and means you don't have to peg it right after. I want any Villa Park future design if it came to that to be very much in line with the history of the club and area. Modern interior, wide concourses, seats with leg room, brillaint food and drinks vendors, lots of facilities but when you approach the ground you know it's Villa Park.

I'd want to retain the steps all the way up to the Holte with the majesty from the elevated platform that it currently enjoys. And the lion statues on the gates.

Very easily done, as they proved with the current Holte facade, which really isn't anything other than the football stadium equivalent of a mock Tudor semi.

I think I said similar earlier in the thread, given his background I'd imagine that he will at least consider it. We need to make sure he's not considering it for long.

Can't see it happening. Can you imagine the uproar when they replace the contractor with Wayne Rooney and his mates?

I cant ever imagine it's entered anybody in the Villa hierarchy consciousness. My gob is doth smacked that Villa fans have put quil to digital parchment to voice such insanity. This is like chardonnay vinegar crisps all over again.

They could always dust off these plans

Well no, it wont, it cant. Both sets of fans would be vociforously against it and unlike the US there isn't the city or state funding to help build it. But I bet he doesn't get the potential strength of feeling against it. Yet.

Alexander Stadium would make better sense
