Villa Park Redevelopment

[PeterWithesShin]

It is cramped in the Upper Witton but I assume we still have bars everywhere else up there. And I also assume we serve away fans food and non alcohol drinks. Maybe we should go American and have people with kegs going up and down the stand.

Maybe it's just that a higher percentage of away fans drink so more likely to cause space issues. Imagine people who just buy a tea or a pie are more likely to go back in the stand and consume, which they're not allowed to do with beer. I dunno, I'm speculating. I've spoken to a few away fans who have moaned about it, it has been the case for as long as I remember.

Maybe we could open a couple of pop-up bars in the road at half-time and direct fans there but wouldn't be feasible before the game.

The Shakespeare's known as a football pub all over because so many people change at New Street. Wolverhampton's problem is currency - a lot of the pubs don't accept decimalisation.

Guffaw

Away fans are regularly seen in the Troc and it never seems to be much of a problem. What does irk me is that fact that The Land That Time Forgot ban away fans from the City Centre entirely but they'll be yamming all over Town on Sunday.

I've been to Wolves away loads and always drink in Wolverhampton. The tip is drink there and don't act like an idiot and you'll be perfectly fine.

I've found this to be the case for any away game.

Looks like work has commenced. Corner Flag restaurant is coming down.

Finally, that thing was awful the day it was opened. Cheap 90’s new house vibes.

It's getting built.

Unlike other things in our city.

Hope the original Trinity Road Stand bricks (in retaining wall) don't get skipped.

I was only very little when the Trinity was being built. Remember driving past it with my mom to go to my nans ❤️💐

They might be older than that and part of the Lower Grounds victorian building.

I worked as a kitchen porter at the Villa for a bit. The Corner Flag was easily my favourite one to work in - more relaxed pace of work, and the chefs would cook you up something after. The other stands you were just eating the food sent back (not as bad as it sounds, it was untouched trays of buffet food).

Worst to work in was probably the North Stand. Tiny cramped washing area but similar workload to the (much larger) Trinity Road kitchens. And less food sent back.
