Villa Park Redevelopment

[Brend'Watkins]

Saw the inside of the new Everton ground yesterday on telly
looks no different from Leicester’s stadium carbon copy of everything else that’s been built,
 absolute shit

Ha! We’re going to be told how wonderful it all is for a few seasons regardless.

Looks good from
the outside but they are all bowls when you get in

Yes agreed,
There’ll be loads of corporate bits and bars restaurants etc to rinse the fans a bit more obviously
All to Get that turnover up so they can compete with the big football franchises same as we’re all trying to do

That’s where we are folks

i never want to play in a bowl , but if are going to compete we have to continue to expand Villa park if we can

Even if we built a brand new ground somewhere I’d want four separate stands.

The thought of joining up any of the Villa park stands makes me want to puke.

I have fond (and terrible) memories of sitting in all 4 stands down the Villa and each one definitely has it's own personality and feel attached to them. Would I give up trophies and success rather than sacrifice everything at the altar of revenue? As I get older the answer veers towards maybe/probably . 10 years ago it would have been a hard no.

Always like the look of the Sampdoria / Genoa ground , rebuilt for Italia 90. 4 stands but towers in each corner. Holds 36,000 but we would obviously need larger. Different from your standard soulless bowl design.

I always liked that stadium back in the day, too

Maybe throw in a moat and a dragon too.

I’ve been a long standing supporter on this thread of building a big red brick clock tower mirroring the Birmingham Uni one in one of the corners. This is the Villa and we *know* what time it is.
