V Sports Announces Investment from Atairos

[Percy McCarthy]

Comcast?

Edit: my mate at work listened to it, he says it’s a new kit manufacturer. That’ll teach me to quote twitter fuckwits.

[AV84]

Are we ending the BK8 one early, or is the new one for when that runs out?

See above. It’s a kit manufacturer, so replacing Castore. Apparently it’s a big brand.

[kippaxvilla2]

Bukta apparently.

[KevinGage]

Return of the Macron men.

[Dave P]

Is it Henson again?

[sid1964]

Adidas

[thick_mike]

Winfield

[Dante Lavelli]

Adidas

You’d hope at some point Nas would use his influence to get us a good deal with adidas. 

[Dave P]

If it is Adidas, I wonder if they will have their name in the seats like a few other grounds.  Would bump up the deal and help pay for a new stand?

As it happens, I had a cheese dream the other night when I thought with the 2k-3k extra seats, maybe they're just planning on ripping out and replacing *all* the seats.  Make them 5% narrower and you've accounted for 2000 extra seats right there.

If Adidas were to pay for the cost of those new seats, in exchange for having their name written out for however many years, it's a near cost-neutral ground expansion.

You might as well sell 2 tickets per seat,as you will be sitting on someones lap if they make them any smaller.

Yep, if there's one word you think of when you think about the seats at Villa park, it's "roomy".

The guy next to me always sits half on my seat despite me telling him many times, thank goodness he leaves 15 minutes before full time and I can breath out, I even told him that when I renew next season, I am going to tell ticket office I only want to pay for half a seat as he is always on mine, he ignored me ever since.

Try getting there early and sitting on half of his seat first.
