VILLA PARK REDEVELOPMENT PLANS REVEALED! | WE DISCUSS OUR THOUGHTS... 

Let’s hear your thoughts on the new stadium designs, the new club badge and the new training kits… 👀

Nice one guys. Villa definately need a museum with this new build !!

I grew up with Villa Park holding over 50k and a round badge, its about time we added a few more stars to it though.

Good god Villa Park is going to be even more beautiful than it already is 🤩

Whatever you are going through gets better and you will have a great week

Another great video from you. Have to say I do like the round badge. I’m loving the regeneration of our beloved VP. Some people are complaining about the ticket price hike but this work and the wages of new, decent players doesn’t come cheap.

sorely needed, surely the Saunders stand.

Something I thought about the Villa Live space is that they could potentially show away games on a big screen in there where you could go and watch it. Also for EUROs and World Cups. Maybe also show Villa home games so fans who can't get a ticket could go and watch the game there and feel more included in the club. May cause complications with travel and congestion if you do the latter, but if the better travel links are put in place as Purslow mentioned they're in talks to do, it could be a viable source of income for the club as well

Hey, well done Villa! It's started to happen for u & that's a great thing for loyal fans. Gerrard has great things to come & is making things happen. As a City fan, I love know the feeling of excitement. Great when loyal fans get their day! 💙

I'll believe Stand development when the actual building work starts! You can't trust even the best owners in football until it actually happens, they could sell the club and make a £200 M profit any time they want! Circle badge for me.🙏

exciting times on and off the park for Villa!

Good points about transport, access and facilities. Glad to hear that our history is at heart. I do not want a 'plastic' stadium or the unique character of Villa Park to be lost. I'm big on fresh, clean and loads of light and space, so that sounds good. Jury's out on the.badge, though I miss the word 'PREPARED'. Yes to the ' Ron Saunders Stand'. We must not lose the old historical frontage! If the fans welcome all the changes, fine. Let's hope it inspires the players too!

I love the new stadium designs Max I'm excited by it I would also love us to have the round badge again. UTV

Plans look fantastic and very promising. Exciting news and times for Aston Villa.

Thanks for the information shared guys. Top staff... Regards from Villa fans on Greece... Up the Villa....

oh by the way the Stand on Witton Lane is the Witton Lane Stand and the so called North Stand is the Witton. What would people think if the name of the Holte was changed.

When the Holte End was built it had the steepest upper tier in Europe. It put us on the map, i don't think the new North stand should be more extravagant than the Holte end as historically the Holte has always been the main stand. if they join it on to trinity and make it the same all the way around you could get away with it though but i cant imagine the North stand ever being the most majestic stand.

Nice one guys, personally I’m all for the new stadium but they need to incorporate the history of the stadium too. North Stand? Yeah it’s part of the History too even if it’s just a name ! I remember the stadium of the 80s , my dad used to take me down on the train from Scunthorpe , the place was electric! But we’re all proud of our historic club and it’s support we give ! Here’s to exciting times ahead , and beers on me if I get to meet you guys ! UTV ! 🍻

Good stuff lads 👍 I think the box park style idea will be a masterstroke especially on the back of the news that the club is getting involved in a 30m redevelopment of Witton Station (which will hopefully be renamed) Coupled with the improvements around Witton itself I see no reason why it can't be used as a venue for concerts, sports events etc. One small gripe is the name Villa Live. I don't like that as a name. Also I think the capacity of the new North Stand will be closer to 16k than 13k.

Cant wait to next season with the round badge on our kits 😍

I first went to see villa in the early 80s, so I'm a round badge fan. Cant wait for more drawings of the new stand come out looks good so far. Utv

Anything that’s adds to the capacity is a good thing as so many fans can’t currently watch. From what they have shown so far it looks good to me. The one thing I don’t understand is how will the ground get up to 60k (after the North stand has been done). Surely they won’t touch the Holte end and that means they will have to knock down or expand either the Trinity Road (unlikely as they are making changes to that as part of the north stand rebuild) or the Wilton lane stand. Given there is a road behind that stand that would be logistically very hard and expensive. Thoughts?

Love your videos UTV

It looks similar to Liverpool's new main stand, we need to see the curved brickwork of the old Trinity stand - look at the back of the Holte end for example

Without wanting to sound negative, the drawings are quite poor and almost childlike. The owners have an opportunity to create something unique to Aston Villa, something spectacular but the design looks quite predictable. I would suggest that more attention to detail needs to be included to the exterior, keeping the Archibald Leach architectural designs in mind ref the old Trinity road stand. The real thing has to be far better than the drawings would suggest

Fantastic ground, one of my favourite away stadiums. YNWA

i remember standing on the old witton hill on grass!! watching villa in the 1970s standing in the wind & Rain or your feet and toes freezing in the frost nights me and dad RiP THIS GEN OF VILLA FANS dont know how lucky they are one season 1971/1972 on our way to 3rd div title we played santos fc pele s club on a three club tour they played villa arsenal and sheffield wednesday doug had to hire a generator to power the four pylon floodlights on so the match went ahead 54 ,000 packed in too see pele ! who came off in the 2nd half too a great reception villa won 2-1 ray graydon , chico hamilton the villa scorers the country had a three day week i was 10 yrs old me and dad at the original witton hill end im 60 now its been over 40 seasons ago i stood at the original holte end as for the badge the round badge appeared on the villa shirts in season 1973/74 ! before that from 1969/70 -1973/74 we had the scottish lion in claret on the right side of the villa shirt and before that villa had the lion in a shield with the words prepared written in side the shield that shirt was from 1956/57 season when we won the fa cup for a then record 7th time!!! no club could match villas fa cup tradition then so too all the gen of villa fans who thought the round badge came in when we won the european cup in 1981/82 no as i said it came in 1973/74-1991/92 it lasted i think a small adjustment to the present badge will be ok like they did in 2018 adding the orginal club motto prepared that should be put back in but in a new design the new designs of villa pk look fantastic that north stand i remember it getting built in august 1977 ! the orginal old witton end hill and terracing gone forever!! it cost the club then around i think £1,1 m i,ll be glad when its demolished !!!!!!! the villa got into debt fairclough the then contractors that bulit the north stand got a good deal out of it it was opened for the start of the 1977/78 season lads hope too see yous all in the new season it ll bring back good memories heres to a good season UP THE VILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great vid as per

Good that we're increasing capacity to 50000+,i was getting concerned we were getting left behind as a number of clubs we should be on a par with in increased a number of years ago. It's good to see our present owners are very forward thinking & get us fans involved, we're blessed! When faze 2 comes into being, I can see the most obvious way? To add another 10000 seats to make Villa park a 60000 seat stadium

Box park like antics for away games 😜💜💙 #scenes

box park replica would be elite for away days with the lads of you can't make it

Think Tomas Soucek would be a great/good buy for you.

I remember when the North Stand was being built, and now they're saying that it's too old, past its useful life, and needs replacing. How do think that makes me feel?

Purslane also mentioned moving the player's tunnel

Love everthing apart from the prices of the training gear

not even a villa fan but love the content!

To add more room , let's make the Holte end one stand again that would create 4 Thousand more places, why was it knocked down for , it was ideal for seats to go on to the terraces , Liverpool didn't have a problem and their home end was.a lot steeper , let's get our holte end back the largest stand in Europe

Maybe get the trams back to link up to the city centre

Watching away games would be great. 👍

I think it should be called the Ron Saunders stand.

despite the ings saga i don’t mind villa, great fans and i always love villa away (didn’t last season tho😭)

My thoughts are, that it's ok building a new stand but the rest of it won't get used by the locals just like the Holte pub is closed except for match days. The local community are mainly Asian and the club needs ideas to attract them on non-match days. Star city is just up the road and is not that popular anymore. The Club needs to think carefully before building stuff that won't get used. The New Stand is a fantastic idea but the rest has to be really really carefully planned, otherwise it will be a White Elephant that is only used on match days

@ 5 min 40s we drink in Birmingham Random nose: vIlLa FaNs DoNt DrInK iN tHe CiTy Cheers, lads. Solid video

Ron Saunders Stand

I dont like the circle badge especially now with my brother being a chelsea fan because id just look at the newer circle badge and think of that scummy london club, whereas the shield type badge, just looks nice, its clean tidy and doesnt remind me of any scummy london clubs supported by my brother.

Leave the badge alone ! !

Mosaics and a bit of stained glass required to give it the authentic Villa look. Otherwise it all looks very promising.

You can have any badge you want. Just get rid of the yellow cowardly lion as it sends out the wrong image in my opinion. UTV

On my first visit to Villa Park as a young kid with pals, we were attacked by a gang of Asian men I was punched in the face and my friends were pushed around for having the cheek to walk down the road. Aston just isn't safe on non match days. Hopefully these plans will give Aston a boost and clean the area up a bit. I really hope the residents will get involved and take some pride in their area and make visitors feel welcome and safe.

Are you blokes coming to Brisbane?

Villa need to move to a soulless bowl like Everton are doing. Because that’s what foreign owners want.

Got to be called The Saunders Barton stand, think it would be unfair to not mention Tony Barton

Hopefully Stephen Gerrard would try his hand at managing the biggest club in the city of Birmingham

its either circle or even JUST THE LION AND THE STAR WITH ASTON VILLA UNDER OR ONTOP NOT BLOODY AVFC

Exciting times just hope I can afford to get into the ground, I can't afford to go now let alone 10 yrs time. Q .

You know the underground tunnel was a joke on twitter. The cost of doing such a project would be non viable. Not even Man City's owners could afford that. 😀

McGregor stand as the new stand name. Founder of the football league.

Why are we bothering when there's every chance of going down Fulham Everton won't that leaves us Forrest and them bottom

I don't understand how wolves have just been able to hold an England game at molyneux, yet villa park doesn't meet eufa criteria. Can anyone explain

R the away fan’s staying on the side then

I always drink before and after the game, in the Gordon Cowans bar. Also I season in the lower north and have done for years, so looking forward to an upgrade, as it’s shocking in there. Would love for it to be named the Saunders stand

For god sake lads why so negative any upgrade of the ground and area surely a good thing is it not as for the badge we had loads over the years it's the team that matters and how we play more important...

Might sound silly but you won't be able to see the upper Holte seats when walking towards the north stand on witton lane. Always thought it makes the Holte look beastly/intimadating if you were an away fan walking that way..🤣

Just keep it British. The architecture, the facade... Enough of arenas, multipurpose stadiums and soulless buildings. I refuse watching Arsenal, man City, Brighton, bolton, Huddersfield at home... it's like watching any other football league game but not an English club at home

Okay redeveloping the ground, but what about the transport infrastructure for public transport, the worst in the Premiership. As for the badge does it really matter we are Villa.

The new badge is Chelsea's but with claret replacing blue.

Got to be better than going Tesco.... 👍

It's ok upgrading villa Park but if we don't have a team we could end up in the championship

First

*Please god* *DO NOT❗️ go back to that awful round badge, me personally I love our current badge the most out of the badges we’ve had but possibly changing the AVFC* to *ASTON VILLA FC*
