Villa Park Redevelopment

[Risso]

If we ever did decide to rebuild/move, Leicester will probably be 40,000 by then, which would make far more sense. Trains direct from New Street to Leicester, or quick dash up the M69.

You really are determined to have a couple of years of shorter journeys aren't you? ;-)

That would mean going into Leicester though!

[The Edge]

A city centre ground would be great.

That’s Nose territory isn’t it? None of us come from Birmingham.

I'm currently in town drinking with my brother but only because Blues are in Hull. Obviously.

Beware a shift at Longbridge just finished so they’ll be off home to shave their heads then into town to watch our game at 5.30 in those bars

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my Luke clobber covered up.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my Luke clobber coveted up.

If Mark One is still open get yourself down there for some new clobber so you for it :-)

It's open. I've just bought some flares (that's trousers for the yoof) and a lovely Paisley tank top. Panic over I should blend right in now. Phew!

Talking about Luke clobber

There’s a brand-new Luke shop opened in Milton Keynes shopping Centre
I went in there the other day some nice stuff in there if a bit pricey, I can never understand why anyone who knows anything about football and doesn’t support Villa would wear it though

This part of the thread has really made me chuckle, thanks 😃

You should look out for promos there's loads going about. Pete the Canadian Villain usually has promos on his you tube channel.

[SamTheMouse]

I missed the last five minutes as my daughter was painting her nails and I got distracted by them drying.

Edit: I was so bored I even got my threads confused.

Edit edit: Like the people buying Luke clothing.

I still cannot get my head around this. There has never been a better time to expand Villa Park. We have expanded in the past at times when we were rarely selling out. The new Trinity was built at a time when attendances were decreasing after the highs of the mid 90s.

It is bizarre especially with Euro 2028 marked down for Villa Park.

I know some think there is a grand master plan but I don't see it. Heck has ripped up the entire rationale for a new crest as announced in 2022 - probably because it is cheaper - and I think that's what this bonkers decision comes down to too. Cost. And you can be sure he will make the pips squeeze with prices next year. So instead of looking forward to a 50,000 Villa Park it is more likely he will drive people away from our current 42,000 Villa Park.

I genuinely believe this man is an absolute disaster who will blow the best opportunity we have had in 40 years to become the club we know we can be. Yeah global this, yeah global that but it wasn't global this or global that which got us out of our rut in the 2010s and it is the base you have to cater for first and foremost.

[Chris Harte]

Maybe Heck is planning to take this on...

Admittedly, it'll need scaling up a bit to match our needs.

[PeterWithe]

Do we have any recruiters on here? What sort of money would Heck be on, in effect the boss of a £100m turnover company relocating from the US. £500k to £1m?

[Ads]

It does come down to cost. Don't spend £100m to be left in a situation where the reault is unlikely to bring you any closer to bridging a gap between your rivals.

[Stu]

Talking of costs, the Newcastle ticket prices are mental. £48 cheapest adult, £80 in the Trinity posh seats.
