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.

Everton are also struggling at home since moving.

Arsenal have lost 49 PL games at the Emirates, they moved in 2006.
Spurs have lost 46 PL games at their new stadium, they moved in 2019.

If we keep ticket prices high and keep going crazy for the tourist/ hospitality fan I think we’ll struggle to sell out 50k  every week never mind 60k

[Hookeysmith]

We are not selling out every week this season, ticket pricing, poor away support higher expectations etc so talk of 60k is way off the mark.
55k I feel would be the most we need and then price it to fill it. Have one below par season and fans will start to fall away

Fully in favour of Tottenham's cunning plan to reduce the number of home Premier League defeats by getting relegated.
