Villa Park Redevelopment

[PeterWithe]

The most popular club moving to the biggest stadium seems like a big story to me, tbf. They better not get a fucking penny from taxpayers when we are slashing aid and benefits.

I'm almost certain that they will, that's why they are going heavy on the 'urban regeneration' angle. Jobs and houses etc.

ManYou planning a new stadium according to The Athletic. 100k capacity

Yes just heard sir Jim looking for hand outs from the Government , for apparently everyone's favourite club , TWAT

I fucking hate the amount of coverage they get, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I just don't understand it.

On Sky news now, I have switched over to BBC news

"We're now leaving this story about the outbreak of war to bring you the news that ManUtd have appointed a new tea lady". Twats.

& Chemical Jim has laid her off immediately because of Luke Shaws salary….

He is so trying to get the fans to completely turn on the high earners to make it toxic enough to make them want to leave knowing that there is no real market place for a lot of them

Just seen the design for Manure's new ground.  Looks like the world's biggest circus tent.

It looks ridiculous



EDIT - and just in case 'ridiculous' is currently used to mean 'great', what I mean by 'ridiculous' is 'shit'

It is. But it's the nature of Ratcliffe getting loads of press time yesterday and it being plastered everywhere, to this today, where everyone in the media is sucking it up.

And absolutely agree with the last point.

One of Norman Fosters designs apparently

It looks like something from a really shit cheap science fiction film, something made by Asylum.

Wait until they hear that we may be planning to get the bridge repainted by Aston station.  It'll blow them out of the water.

I think we will rue the day we didn't just bite the bullet and build a new NS.  Even if we do plan on widening the NS I think the max we will get to is about 46,000 and in facilities that are still more twentieth-century than twenty-first century.

I am heading down there now to be on Sky News !!

Modern stadium, shit team. Who do they think they are. Birmingham City.

[The Man With A Stick]

Looks like hell on earth, which is apt for a team that plays with a picture of Satan on their badge.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: "The financing is not the issue, I think it's eminently financeable. But the detail of that we'd rather talk about in the future. It will be financeable, I think," he said.

Nice assertion at the end there.

This bloke has moved his assets to Monaco to avoid paying £4 billion a year in tax that could go towards schools and hospitals. He also found the money to throw money at the Conservative Party in the run-up to the 2019 election. He can find the money for this. Labour want firing into the sun if they help this scumbag.

[Brend'Watkins]

I guess the government will have to dip into the coffers for infrastructure changes to accommodate an extra 30,000 day trippers that will need to be ferried about safely and quickly. Meanwhile we'll still be queuing up on the pavement outside Aston station.
