Villa Park Redevelopment

[FatSam]

It was Heck who pivoted towards this strategy. Parslow was the one pursuing the complete new-build strategy.

I think the point is valid that we have spent years and years talking about this and we are now in 2026 and a long way from seeing the benefits of a 50,000 seater.

This is now looking good so hopefully we are going to be sitting pretty in a sparkling north stand in 18 months time

I tell you what, if any Villa officials are viewing this thread for ideas for the new stand, please do not sell Poretti beer. Vile stuff (this is also a plea to change it next season!).

They will sell whoever pays them money for the rights to do so.

Fair enough I guess, but the section where I sit has a small bar that only sells the stuff. Maybe some variety then.

There were delicious cheese batches (cobs/rolls) in the Witton Lane yesterday. I hope this will be a regular thing although it may have had something to do with the 90s retro stuff.

As we are suddenly talking about the catering, the kiosk I went to in the Lower Holte had run out of Curlywurlies an hour before kick out.

Good job I only wanted a cup of tea.

For the Brentford game in the Trinity they only had Cadbury’s Caramel, they’re decent, head and shoulders above Curly Wurly but still no choice. Sort it out Villa!!

I always find it weird when big event venues like sports grounds run out of things like crisps and chocolate, that stuff keeps in storage for ages, why are you letting stocks get so low that you don't have enough to cover a single event? If you end up with twice as many as you need on every kiosk what harm is there? If you've got a storeroom full of chocolate 2 weeks before the next game who cares, it's not like it won't sell eventually.

I was at a conference in London before Christmas and they'd run out of teabags, how the fuck does that happen?

I had my grandson with me yesterday and was in the ground earlier than I usually am. We were in the Trinity Rd. He only wanted a coke. They only sell it on draught and it was tasteless and flat. There were no lids and no straws. This was 40 minutes before kick off and still fairly quiet. How the hell are they running out of such basic items so early in the day? Pathetic.

I’ve been North Warwickshire all my life
and I’ve never come across anyone using batch, is it more Cov/  Nuneaton/ Atherstone way?

[cdbearsfan]

Definitely a Coventry thing.

Yes certainly Nuneaton, Atherstone, Polesworth etc

Certainly separates those from the other side of the A5!
