Villa Park Redevelopment

Quite like the new NS designs , makes best use of the space and existing structure.
If they can get that done in 12 months they will have done well.

apologies i just re-read the FAQ's which suggests 24 month build period, which is more realistic i'd say.

24 months to finish it. Heck will be selling seats in it way before then, even if they're plastic fold up ones sitting on barely dry concrete.

"The Site", your unique opportunity to watch Premier League football in a hard hat...

To be fair Doug opened the North Stand way before it was finished too.
Remember being up there wet paint, the side panels not on, was like a wind tunnel

I am curious as to how people at the back of the North Stand upper now feel, as those side panels are hacked out – I'm sure the football in a wind tunnel wasn't quite how those seats were priced at the start of the season.

He wasn't chairman then.

oh yes course , he came back after 1982. Must have been Bendall then. Point stands though, the stand wasn't quite finished yet they opened it.

So they're targeting it being ready for Euro 2028?

Unless I have missed something, the extended north stand stuff hasn't been confirmed

Just referring back to that timeline, it suggests that the planning application would be submitted this month as a Section 73 application, which would amend the current permission.

I think the current permission is itself a Section 73 that amended the original permission granted in December 2022, to replace the new-build Villa Live with the Warehouse refurbishment.

If the target is still Euro ‘28 then we should find out soon enough what the new plan is.

I think there’s a good book to be written about the North Stand. Legal advice needed though.

We could build a new ground if we ever find all the extra bricks.

I had quick mooch trying to find out the capacity of the NS, in the pieces I read it was alleged that only £700k of the £1.5m build cost could be accounted for. But also said that Surveyors had also reported that the £1.5m only seemed to be about 10% more than they could see it should have cost.
