Liverpool were buying houses for over 20 years, and treating the local community like shit. They are the last club I want us to emulate when it comes to expanding capacity.

The people's club bullshit, where have I heard that before

To be fair, I think that's Everton's line.

It runs even deeper than that at Everton. Back to their "never signed a black player" days.

So it sounds like the club are adding 2 to3 k seat this summer to see what the attendances will be as they state a lot of home games are not sold out, 200 odd or so...hmm...obvious reasons for this.
I guess the bigger ground development will happen after that of the attendances are satisfactory for them.
Heck is not handling this well.

I'm.not buying the 200 seats not being sold as a valid reason for the the change of plan.

I believe so, Heck felt the BK8 logo was way too legible.

all those seats are likely to be single seats.

That’s really disappointing. Every time we’ve built a new stand the average attendances have increased, and I dont see why it wouldn’t be the same this time. The North Stand needs to go, and not just to increase capacity. Leg room is awful and facilities are second rate.

There are 185 seats left for Burnley, however you cannot purchase these without either a Lower Grounds or Terrace View option. The excuse that we don't sell out is utterly disingenuous and very thinly veiled.

Villa Park rebuild ahoy.

None of this makes sense. The owners have serious ambition. We have a world class manager hear for the long run. Performances at Villa Park light years better than many of us can remember.  A 20K waiting list for season tickets. Surely the club would be mad not to expand and tap into this. What about those on the list, they must be so happy hearing the latest news.  The non sell out at the moment is because of the TV and LG. The communication and execution under Heck has been a shambles. Everything at the club seems positive apart from his actions and communication.
