Villa Park Redevelopment

Thx for posting Percy, excellent video.

That was fascinating.

I'm still disappointed with the design itself, but I don't suppose we were ever going to sweeping balustrades, red brick and stained glass. Or whatever the modern statement equivalent.might be.

But as a pragmatic solution it clearly works, and I'm genuinely in awe of people who can make this sort of thing a reality.

Magic that, always love stuff like that especially as I struggle to organise the kids getting to school with the right stuff on the right day.

Surprised the roof is coming off so late in the project, thought doing that sooner would give them more room for the other stuff. Still think it looks a bot Heath Robinson but hey ho.

My wife laughed at me for ten straight minutes when she saw what I was watching (it was, for the avoidance of doubt, the stadium video) in bed last night.

Great video !!
Looking at the finished design I wish they had put a few red bricks in there somewhere and a few nods to our history.
From inside the stadium it will look great though.

Not certain about this but I think the externals, or at least the back bit, will be clad in material/monoflex stuff, like arsenal’s stadium.

I imagine it will be replaced every few years with new branding/sponsorship etc.

If correct, it’s like the whole stand, pragmatic and cost effective but possibly lacking ambition.
