Villa Park Redevelopment

[langleylions]

Fulham will have a rooftop swimming pool on their new stand:

I'm sort of hopeful that we'll go for something similar at Villa Park. Obviously not an infinity pool overlooking Witton, which might not be as attractive to visitors, but it'll give Fulham a pretty unique looking stadium with the cottage and that stand. Still feel the 'new' North Stand was a bit bland and we need something .... spicy?

The pool thing is old news so I'm not sure why its being reported now.

I hope our lot come up with outside of the box ideas. Not a pool though.

I'm sure when small heath build this new mega stadium , they will steal a march on us (yet another one !) , I can hear the marketing blurb now.

"Relax in our beautiful infinity pool in the heart Bordesley Green as pool and Digbeth Branch Canal merge into one.  Unwind as you enjoy the beautiful scenery of  upturned shopping trolleys and 2lb black ribbed knoblers floating in the famous Brummie landmark."

Sorry what? If the Noses build a new tinpot sithole in B9, that stops us building the best ground in the country in the city centre because...? Do we ration football stadia?

Absolutely this.

Genuinely amazed people

1. Think small heath building a ground has any impact whatsoever on what we do, especially those who think this has something to do with the council

2. Care that they are going to do exactly what Lee said they’ll do - build something that looks like Hull’s ground, only in different colours.

3. Think ANYTHING Small Heath do is even worth a nanosecond thought. We are operating in a different world to them and they know it too, but if they were looking at this thread now they’d be pissing themsleves.

Jesus Christ, I know it’s all about opinions but put your knickers back on, make yourself a cup of tea, have a nice sit down and think about what you’ve been saying on this thread, because it’s absolutely laughable.

Seconded.

People aint flipping out about that shower of shit , they are flipping out because our ceo seems intent on absolutly fleecing us and forcing out fans with prices when at the same time killing all the momentum and good feeling we have had since promotion with his pathetic backtracking and cancelling the redevelopmet cuz in his words , ' too many seats too quickly bullshit !! That is whats narking fans , the shite can build whatever they want , they will still be the shite , but what are WE  doing to get better & bigger besides price after price increases

You said earlier that Wes and Naz won't want 'the shit' to be seen as more ambtious. So you do care about them. Bloody hell, calm down.

I dont need to calm down m8 ,  anybody with any brains would know that they would not want to be seen as less ambitious , what we all want to hear is what are WE  gunna do to either expand or move , not for us to be fobbed off with  bullshit and price rises

The Blues news really has got your back up, you can't shut about them so don't pretend otherwise. You want a statement of some kind because they've made one. Fuck em,  they're irrelevant.

[langleylions]

Ahh here we go , the im a better fan than you brigade are out again ffs ,am i not allowed an opinion then just cuz you lot dont fuckin agree with it ,

You fool. They're going to be bigger than us. They can feel it. When has it ever gone wrong when they make big announcements? Your evidence won't keep you warm tonight.

[ChicagoLion]

Exactly, it will be a horrible cheap little concrete bowl with the atmosphere of an empty laundrette.

They had to spend weeks begging, reducing prices and giving away tickets to get a 'crowd' of 25k. They're struggling to stay in the 2nd tier. They've spent fuck all on players and the few half decent ones they have are in on loan. They've announced fuck all about a new stadium. And have hedge fund owners not billionaire benefactors.

We're in a European QF, are in a Champions League place and average over 40k. And our owners are massively ambitious.

They are still a comedy circus that is a shitstain on our city. They are in no way a threat to us.

[Richard E]

Are Liverpool crapping themselves about Everton having a new stadium?

[langleylions]

They dont need too they have done their ground , you know to compete with arsenal man city etc !!

[Clampy]

And we call them obsessed.

[kippaxvilla2]

They’re requoting Ads on that thread about us!

[AV82EC]

They’ve had 148 years to be bigger than us in any aspect you’d care to mention and they haven’t managed it yet, I’m pretty sure that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

Anyway, with all this positivity about their future let’s turn our attention to their <checks notes> Championship Relegation 6 pointer at QPR.

To paraphrase the flare wearing boys from Wolvo…..#levels

With respect, this thread would be entirely different if Mr Heck had taken a leaf out of his predecessor's book and been a bit more upfront about what's happening.

His announcement in December was a shitshow. If you announce something big that was planned isn't happening but don't give any indication what's the Plan B this is what the result will be.

What is the result? That Blues have bought some wasteland? I don't have any time for Heck based on his performance so far, but I don't think he can take the blame for some vulture capitalists taking Blues for a ride.
