Disappointed there is no theme park in the venue

The 02 duo are fine as it goes but for the older demographic getting Up Town is a pain and a half. Somewhere like this, with reasonable parking and access from the motorway, might well be a goer.That’s a good point. At 7pm you’d be able to drive to the venue and park within an hour from a massive catchment area. Offer half decent food ‘n’ beer and I reckon a gig a week is more than viable. Add the stadium concerts in the summer and, hey presto, the Villa brand is bigger than just the football team. Add in a few stand up comedy gigs etc you could have a venue earning well

Not such great news for the Witton Arms/Aston Tavern I'd expect

I was thinking that. The last couple I've been to at the NEC sold maybe three or four thousand tickets and the atmosphere was a bit flat. This could be the boost boxing needs in Birmingham.
Will we be the only club in England with our own indoor music/events centre?
