It’s Knighthead, or another of their companies. It’s not the club.

Ah, thanks you’re way quicker on the trigger than my brain is this morning!

Apologies if this has been covered already but does anyone know what that structure is that they're building next to the Holte steps on the Witton Lane side? It's made out of solid concrete so I can't see it just being a ticket office or shop. It's proper solid with a concrete slab on top.

It’s going to be covered by a car-park extension on the top. Probably end up looking a bit better than the attempt to write ASTON VILLA in flowers that we tried before.

Makes sense. Thanks both.

Huge refurb going on at the Witton Arms.

Nice to see more cushioned seats being installed. Must have been all that talk about the piling.

I'm still not really understanding the benefit of retaining the core of the North Stand, rather than knocking down the whole thing and starting from scratch

[andyh]

The comments in that video state that there are utilities than run under the core of the North Stand so knocking it down would put the build time back ?

I saw something else, I don’t know if it’s relevant.
Aren’t there VAT rules that differ between a complete new build and a renovation ?

Time, cost, and effort for starters.

Yep, you'd add another year onto the build time for a complete clearout and rebuild, which is time we haven't got for the EUROs.
