Villa Park Redevelopment

[AV82EC]

I'm with what I think is the majority here - Villa Park will hold ~50k by the end of next year, and there seems to be a realistic plan to take that up to around 60k should we need that.  That'd put us on a par with the largest club stadia in the UK (with the exception of Manchester United).  I don't see that there can be an imminent need to extend beyond that.

Concur with this. Get to 50k then any expansion to 60k will need to be part of a bigger Aston/Witton Masterplan exercise which I’m sure the club are planning even if it’s longer term and in all likelihood in the 2030’s.

As long as there's a drive-thru Chicken Cottage we won't be left behind by our more illustrious neighbours.

Agreed. The return on investment will also be a compelling argument for the owners I think, if the North Stand change of plan is anything to go by. Another factor for them might be the drop in (beware: Americanism) home-field advantage of clubs like Spurs and West Ham.
