They seem to have demolished most of the back of the stand already.

Back?

The side that doesn’t face the pitch is the back to me. Which is strange as they’ve removed what could be called ‘the frontage’ lol. The bit with all the trophies on and what used to be the Deano & Jack display.

Ha, yeah got you. If that image is the same my brother sent me where the back has been gutted, it looks AI generated, demo works should only be to the sides at the moment.

It was just the sides when I drove past around 3pm. The exit stairs going down the side of the stand are exposed. They'll have to put something temporary up or people will be falling off there!

Still a couple of weeks before we play at home again though so plenty of time to get more done. Going out of the FA cup and getting the 2nd leg in the Europa at home has been a great chance for us to get ahead of things that I'm impressed we've decided to take advantage of.

Yep nothing off the back. Only the corners.

There is a fake AI pic which bizarrely combines back and front and demolition work.

Nothing to do with computer geeks. Most AI slop to produce fake and misleading pictures is from twats who know how to use twitter/grok.

PrimeTime Villa has re-tweeted a pic of what looks to be original Trinity Road stand brick work. Worth a look as I know there was mention previously about the oldest part of the ground.

Yes this is the old Aquarium later the Club Offices. The last link with the Lower Grounds which pre dates Villa Park. A shame if it’s demolished!

A new drone video has been uploaded this morning.
Bloody hell, there is some incredible progress being made and this really shows it in great detail.

The point is well made that Villa Park has so much wasted space within the whole footprint.
Oh, and aquarium brickwork is featured.
