On the stadium question1. It might be easier to accept leaving Villa Park if they hadn't teased us with what a redeveloped Villa Park would have looked like.2. If they are leaving Villa Park if needs to be for something quite spectacular. Villa Park is an iconic venue and not just for us. We've been through it all there and many FA Cup semi-finalists have too. 3. After what we've seen so far I'm not entirely sure how I'd feel about Heck being the mastermind of a new stadium but that's a question for another day.
Quote from: eamonn on April 04, 2024, 12:41:11 PMHow much have we spent on the Brookvale Academy training centre - purposely built a stone's throw from Villa Park? And how much will we spend on revamping the "megastore" and the "Warehouse" (to fit 3,000 folk at any one time)? It seems a lot to plan and spend-on if it's just for short to medium term use until we move away from Villa Park.The academy doesn’t need to be nextdoor to our home ground. The point of it being in the inner-city is that it’s handy for kids who can’t easily get to Bodymoor.

Historically a similar tax was first introduced in 1910 in the People's Budget. This one they can call the Citizen's (and Magpies) Budget.
Quote from: curiousorange on April 04, 2024, 02:01:33 PMA lot of the consideration has to be transport links. As someone said earlier, if you had a site that was between two railway stations you wouldn't look anywhere else, but context is king - they don't get trains every five minutes like an underground or a suburban line. I think this would be the problem with a site like the NEC too; it has a railway station but the trains are nowhere near regular enough for sixty odd thousand people to come and go once a fortnight. To the latter, I'd also add the multi-use aspect: any new stadium on the scale we envisage has to be bringing in gigs and events every summer at least. Would building next to the NEC hinder that? Would having a city centre stadium hinder that with the proximity of the NIA? Spuds bring in the NFL, Spam seem to have dibs on the baseball, is there anything left for Brum?There are pros and cons to every possible location, but ultimately you just have to have a plan and faith it'll work out. I mean, we're the second city, we should act like it.A 60,000 stadium would be three times the size of the NEC or NIA, so would be attracting a completely different level of artist or event. I have no idea about planning etc. but the NIA site would be a good one if you were going to build a stadium. Close to town, but just far enough away from everything that you you would do very well on drinks and food. The whole Dale End area is a real eyesore now and that would be another good location if possible.
