![]() in the current location so I certainly doubt there are any plans to move. But there are certainly plans underway for a hotel etc. As illusive as the guy was that's all I know and I don't know how factual it is. We could get 60,000 by only touching the North Stand and Witton Lane Stand, and sell it out without moving anywhere.Īlso I could be wrong, or the plans could have changed but I read somewhere a long while ago now that Tony Xia bought up a lot of land in Aston and had some major plans. ![]() Any 'redevelopment' of VP wouldn't touch certain aspects of the ground to keep fans happy. The location and current stadium is part of the identity. how are the owners going to justify selling up 6.2 ha of land in a relatively cheap location and buying up more central where there is worse public transport connectivity and would be inherently less car parking? This is all aside from the point really anyway: fans don't want VP to move anywhere. Then you've also got financial implications. Villa and Derby sold out Wembley which is 100s of miles away from both sets of fans. Now we have 30k minimum guaranteed every game next season. Look how many season tickets Villa have just sold, and compare this with periods in the Championship when the average overall attendance was barely more than 30k. Attendance is almost entirely performance based. Could be more like going to the theatre or a concert than a football match as we know it, which I think would appeal to many.Ĭlick to expand.The location of VP has nothing to do with attendances, sorry and nor St. Could go for a nice drink and something to eat somewhere pleasant before and after, it would really get the fans in, and meet modern expectations. On the canal, walking distance from Snow Hill, and still in the B6 postcode. I'd love Villa to build a stadium in the Gun Quarter, where Matalan is ideally. To be within the city centre (ring road) is the best. It's only Aston, a couple of miles out of town, but it's a right ball ache compared to some stadiums, especially Newcastle. It's been the making of Newcastle and a major factor in their high attendances.įor many Villa Park is a proper day out affair, you gotta get in and out of town, or just drive as most seem to. Excuse the old fashioned generalisation but a couple can go into toon, have lunch, the fella can go to the match while his missus meets friends, shops, potters around the city centre, then meet up after the game and straight down the big market, still in the black and white stripes usually. The stadium host plenty of events such as international soccer games, Hoop-It-Up Basketball, RV and boat shows, and various concert shows.Surely the best example is St James' Park Newcastle. It is the home field for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League and the Miami Hurricanes, the University of Miami’s NCAA Division I college football team.
