I am a little bit perplexed
We will be getting 60,000 when we are regularly in the European Super League.
Corrected.

the one doing the rounds at the time of Randy were 100% not genuine. From the horses mouth, well, from his, he didn't want to join the corners and make Villa Park the same as all places, he liked the traditional nature of the place.
100% agree - bowls are boring. I've also heard/read that filling in the corners has a negative effect on airflow and can cause the grass growth to be problematic. I believe that's why they had to raise the pitch at Old Trafford by about three feet, causing that nasty steep slope at the sides.Yes I hate that so many of the new grounds look the same. Soulless bowls.
Seen this knocking around social media since the club statement... I'd be happy with this.

The Doug Ellis would need a rebuild as well. However the space behind has always prevented this. If you spend enough money i suppose it might be achivable?
we bought that land and put the park there, grease a few palms and we can do it.Probably have to put stilts over the road but that park might be a problem.
staggering amounts of money just to keep the wheels turning.
Correct , basically the terraces ran all the way down Witton RoadDid there not be a row of terrace houses behind the Doug Ellis that the club gradually purchased and knocked down to make the park?
I don’t follow this thread all that often so catching up, but that would be perfect. The North Stand needs to go, and the seats in the Witton are too narrow. VP is a wonderful stadium but will need to evolve over time. Three stands in a bowl which join a free standing Holte mean we have a wonderful and unique stadium
What is this thing you call the North Stand? Isn't it called the New Stand? (Which is what I still call it.... showing my age).
Showing your age is when you talk about standing under the alphabet half time score board down there lol.
