Villa Park Redevelopment

[London Villan]

These are the questions that keep me awake at night...

[pauliewalnuts]

If it requires planning permission, I hope it isn't some hideous jerrybuilt piece of shit like Wolves had.

Let's hope something serious is being planned in the background, while another 'rearranging the seats on the Titanic scenario' plays out.

If I was planning on either doing an extension to my home, or moving home altogether, I don't think i would bother re-doing the existing rooms first only to either rip it up next year or move.  That wouldn't make financial sense.

Although I guess you don't have 40,000 people turning up at your house every couple of weeks, complaining about how shit your cups of tea are and blocking your toilets.

(Well, maybe at Christmas.)

Haha

Depends on the timeframe too, if you are making plans that are 4/5 years away you would definitely re-arrange the deck chairs for short term gain

yeah, at the end the day it’s only buying & rearranging seats. I’d be surprised if the work didn’t pay for itself within a year.

If going ahead with this bit of remodelling points to us staying, what does cancelling plans to redevelop 25% of the stadium point to?

I think that's right. If your target is to increase revenue within a specific period of time, I can see that adding 800 seats over a close season, without having to reduce capacity, and at negligible expense, is better than adding 7k seats over a two-year period, whilst reducing capacity by 6k, for £200M. These 800 seats will effectively be available and generating income immediately.

But you might buy a new bed or a couple of armchairs.

[Drummond]

And tart up the patio and put in a bi-fold door.

Or plant some pampas grass in the front garden and buy a new box of washing powder for the kitchen window sill.

But deliver us from his'n'hers.

This is interesting and a new one for me. Never tried it🤔

I think for accuracy sake that a box of OMO Washing Powder was put on kitchen window sills to communicate that the status of the incumbent household was an 'Old Man Out' scenario.
