If 10,000 seats are too many too quickly,  then that would also rule out a new ground unless it was similar to VP now.

or maybe he's talking in riddles

More than likely never going to happen ... though I am warming to the idea of two seasons at a 40,000-seater upgraded Alexander Stadium and then back into a new Villa Park on the existing site.

I'm not going to second guess the best option of moving the pitch 100 yards in one direction or 90 degree turns or whatever, but it would be great to see it opened for 2027/28 to mark our 130th anniversary at Villa Park.

I might just check if Alexander Stadium has any major events planned in the next couple of years. 

Alexander Stadium is protected from any issues the council have currently. Villa and the council couldn't even agree having villa women to play there, it's fair to say you can forget using that location in any way at all for football.

The idea of watching football in an athletics stadium doesn't exactly thrill me even as a temporary thing

Development announcement imminent.

Intriguing. Why couldn't he say that yesterday when he spoke? Did he mis-speak?!

[London Villan]

Have they realised they have dropped a PR clanger?

Development announcement imminent.

Tonight or tomorrow?

Isn't this his third clanger? Badge, Holte corporate and now the new North Stand? has he been in the door six months?

More likely in days rather than hours.

If they are going to announce we are moving to a purpose built ground what better time to do it than when/if we are sat top of the league . Get the bad news out then ??

[FatSam]

all those FA Cup SF's we have hosted too , its a special place for lots of other fans

Yes, but we would never host another one if they were to be taken away from Wembley, because so many other grounds are now bigger and better.

It's not a new ground.
