Villa Park Redevelopment

[VillaTim]

The ideal location would be over towards Dartmouth Circus near the old fire station and Uni area. If a parcel of land came up there , that's the right side of town for Villa.

We got off this particular marry go round ages ago. We are staying put.

Yes we've vowed to stay put.

For now. My point was if we were to move , that side of town is more acceptable, someone mentioned Smithfield which is not an acceptable part of town.

I've gone back 20 pages and given up looking to try and find the last time anyone mentioned us moving to Smithfield.

erm, Its mentioned on this page (467) and the previous page 466. Specsavers.

Ah, reverting to type.

Says the bloke who missed the typo everybody else saw.

Take your own advice dopy.

Lendlease, the Australian construction conglomerate, have announced they are pulling out of the UK market.

They run the Smithfield development plan - that absolutely enormous patch of empty land slap bang in the city centre, which is now up in the air in terms of planning.

Just saying, like.

There it is P466. Not 20 pages ago.

Can we just please park the Smithfield nonsense up once and for all? We aren’t moving.

Yes it got a mention because of issues with the developers. That was addressed by yours truly when I pointed out that the Smithfield development is going ahead 100%. You ignored that and suggested we look for land around by Aston Uni to build a brand new stadium. I don't know if you are deliberately missing the point but I'll say it one more time for you. We....ain't    moving.

So it looks like new hospitality areas are:

Doug Ellis
M1 & M2 (part) - Half way block
I assume back rows of entire lower

North Stand
R2 (Lower) (good luck selling those tickets between two sets of braying fans doing wanker signs all match)
R7 (Lower) - small slice at back of block
I assume back rows of entire lower?

T5 (Upper) - middle part of block

Trinity
B4 - a section that was previously 1888 seats is now full hospitality
A2 - not highlighted on seating plan but I assume people have been moved to create more seats for Lower Grounds

Safe Standing
Holte Upper - rear
Holte Lower?

Anything else?  What will be next summer?  My guess would be C4 & C5, the rest of the 1888 seats and maybe a central block in DE upper. 

[nick harper]

I’m amazed they didn't go after the front few rows of P5 - P7.

Yep, I'm fully expecting to be gentrified out of C4 next season

Having that GA+/Hospitality section in that corner of the North is bonkers.
They're gonna get belters from both away and home fans

Have you experienced the concourse up there.

Maybe they'll sell ut as some kind of daredevil experience?

It will probably pick up the ex customers of Karens Diner.

Aston Villa issued large fine after away fans assaulted with prawn sandwiches.
