Villa Park Redevelopment

[tomd2103]

Felt that expansion of the ground should have been done in the early Lerner era - even when we weren't selling out every game. We'd have got enough in most games to ensure the average attendance shot up - as it has with every upgrade since 1994.

That said, 50-55k feels our natural limit and we can do that in the current location - with the same stand configuration. There's also something about matches at VP in the autumn/winter sun that has a magical quality.  Despite Ellis's best bodge job efforts. Start pissing about with stand layouts and we prob lose that.

I don't envy Spurzzz's new ground at all. Looks like an American football stadium. With the same wanky corporate atmosphere to match. So I'd be in no rush to replicate that.

Agree and I think the 50-55k can be achieved by just rebuilding the North Stand and sorting out the transport issues that would present.  Upgrading the corporate and other facilities at the ground for fans and whether those can be incorporated is another question.

Was chatting to a Spurs season ticket holder earlier, the zsouth stand there is has car park under it but is used to slide the pitch into when they have a gig or NFL.

They are also now going to use the area in their partnership with F1 and have Go Kart tracks there with sound effects from F1, sponsor stuff all over etc.

It got me thinking about the North and potential for something even bigger and better. What if we did something similar? Retractable pitch so gigs etc are easier?

Real Madrid's retractable pitch looks one of the most complex things going. We need a new ground anyway.

The space is there under and behind the existing North Stand to potentially move the pitch. Real Madrid have a sliding pitch, trouble is the stadium was closed for, was it, two years? It's not viable without us playing elsewhere for a while, I'd imagine.

They ain't messing about. Looks like you're looking at an average of £650 a ticket for some of the packages. This is why their matchday income is so high.

And, unlike at the Villa,, their Hospitality hasn't sold out for the season.

I must be on some mailing list and received an email today about the baseball/rounders at the Olympic stadium in the summer. Cheapest adult tickets on ticketmaster are 97quid…

And it will sell out. Same as the NFL in London. Charge what you like and it will still sell out.

And looking at it, there isn't a real fan in sight.

Do Wham get the revenue or LDC / Olympic legacy fund ?

Plenty of prawn sandwiches though.

Meanwhile, you'd have thought the club would have removed the following from the website.

Edit, dunno how to make that a working link on mobile.

Good point..

It looks boring.

If I wanted to go to a restaurant or bar, I'd go to to a restaurant or bar.

I know it isn't for the likes of me, but fucking hell, fuck off Spurs you self important semen stain.

I'm completely missing the point of the whole thing, I know.

It shows the stark difference between their revenue generation and ours. For the same price as you'd pay there against some of the top teams, you get a 7 course fine dining meal at Villa with wine pairings and as much champagne as you can stick down your neck. There you get a bowl of rice, some chilli and warm lager.

Interesting the Spurs owner is now facing criminal charges for financial irregularities .
