Villa Park Redevelopment

[eamonn]

Moot maybe but it will never be muted.

[Bad English]

Sorry for a being a div but what does GA/GA+ stand for?

General Admission and General Admission plus, the later being short hand for the no man's land between proper corporate and normal tickets like Terrace View and Lower Grounds.

I’d also include irregular attendees that are likely to leave the club shop with a couple of plastic bags full of merchandise under the GA+ umbrella.

[VillaTim]

Isn’t this whole thread moot now ?

on pause until Heck speaks on the subject again

[DB]

So, reasons for the plan was put on 'hold':
CL potential next season, Heck doesn't  want a building site shown to millions
FFP and loss of match day revenue of around 8k seats and corporate
Heck doesn't believe we will fill the new stand/capacity
...or all the above?

Is he therefore, playing the longer game? Get in the CL, increase turnover from that, then have the FFP wiggle room to build the new stand with a reduced capacity for a season or 2. In the meantime, fleece the fans for as much as he can?

[Risso]

Reduced revenue because of rebuilding part or all of a stadium is an allowable exceptional event for FFP purposes, if the shortfall is covered by equity from the owners.

All the more reason to just get on with it.

or not if the bigger plan is a new ground

Is that both  Prem and UEFA rules? Or is there no difference?

I see. Ta!

Maybe we're being prudent. Look at Newcastle, languishing in 10th and they definitely won't be in the Champions League next season. Perhaps Emery wants a full ground for the first time we will have qualified since 1982, to maximise our chances.

I'm absolutely certain this decision has nothing to do with Emery. You don't pull a multi-million pound development because of a competition you haven't even qualified for yet.

I wonder if the suggestion that Blose are looking at new a new location and building a multipurpose Stadium has anything to do with our situation.

[The Man With A Stick]

I wonder if the suggestion that Blose are looking at new a new location and building a multipurpose Stadium has anything to do with our situation.

When they say "multipurpose" they're probably on about car boot sales and cock-fighting in the car park.  Bescot on steroids.
