From PRAVDA
Aston Villa can confirm that preparatory works connected to the previously announced redevelopment of the North Stand at Villa Park have now begun.
As part of our commitment to delivering the new North Stand on schedule, the first phase of works will involve the removal of the existing structures located in the North East and North West corners of the stadium.
This will be completed ahead of our home fixture against Bologna on 16 April.
As a consequence of these works, the existing concourse and turnstile facilities serving supporters in the lower tier of the North Stand will be removed for the remainder of the season. To ensure supporters continue to have access to essential services, the Club will install temporary food and beverage outlets and toilet facilities for fans using this area of the stadium. In addition access to the stand will be via a temporary turnstile installation.
Supporters with access to the Cells GA+ facility will not be affected by these changes.
We recognise that these temporary arrangements may cause some inconvenience to supporters during the final weeks of the season. However, these early works are a necessary step in keeping the North Stand redevelopment programme on track and ensuring we deliver the significantly enhanced matchday experience that has already been shared with our fans.
We appreciate the continued patience and understanding of our supporters as we take these important steps toward the future of Villa Park.
Further information and supporter guidance for affected fixtures will be communicated ahead of upcoming matches.
