Well if it is a total rebuild then I hope it's the most eff off amazing redbrick fortress , built to look like some steampunk Victorian zeppelin factory. Think Birmingham University Aston Webb buildings love child with the Albert Hall laced with Hagia Sophia style domes in 4 corners over the respective palaces of the Arts, Science, Industry and Literature to feature mosaics of Shakespeare and other figures from our city region. Atop a rebuilt Holte End doubled in size Golden lions with glowing red eyes and a visiting players tunnel painted black with claret neon sign "Meet Thy Doom".

Design of The Millenium Award!

It’s going to be like that tiny stand at Watford.  Remember the one that was on the left of the away fans.

Get ready for a chorus of "what the fucking hell is that" from the away fans.

Ignoring the rest, if asked to describe what I would like our new ground to look like, it would be this. Perfect.

I want Tolkien's Twin Towers to form the corners of the Holte End if that's not too much trouble. The floodlights should all look like Sauron's Eye.

If it is a rebuild , buying up houses on Witton Lane could take years  though.

Increasing the Witton Lane would be more of a longer term project, if it was required.  Redeveloping.the North Stand would take us to approx 52,000, so the Witton Lane would only beed to be considered if we were looking at a bigger capacity than that.

I want everyone to know they are at Villa Park and not some soulless super stadium that looks like a space ship. It can have all the modern amenities, great service and spacing, even bogs that work and don’t overflow. But the stadium needs to be a nod to our Victorian past. 4 stands please. Old Trinity and Holte exterior all around and tight to the pitch so that it scares the shit out of opponents. I never want fans of other sides to think isn’t this nice. It needs to leave them with memories of the stadium so they talk amongst themselves of how Villa have respected their history in all they do. No detail missed.

Erm the Victorian past was a bowl with a cycle track between the stands and the pitch!

If it’s a new build, sadly that won’t happen.
It would be designed on a £ per square metre and that means concrete and a single structure.
If you want Villa Park then we stay at Villa Park.

Oh yeh we don’t need a replica of that. It’s more the outside needs to have that feel, and the inside modern where it needs to be and intimidating from a football standpoint. It might not be the best example because it’s falling down, but La Bombonera has all of that. Everything screams its history and it will be a shame if/when it comes down. Given the exuberance if the fans it might happen during a game.

I know it won't increase the capacity, but I would like to.see the Holte Lower and the lower part of the any new North Stand development become safe standing areas.

You could also quibble on the fact that we moved in in 1897, and the Victorian period ended in 1901. We didn't even call it Villa Park until 1900, and didn't own it till 1911.

I reckon Victorian era Villa Park would have been pretty primitive.

I’d also like for the new ground to have a spot where we can pump out armaments for the war effort. Use them against Man U if needed.

As long as they don't insist on the Victorian dress code for the laydeez.
