Inside ASTON VILLA's £100m Villa Park EXPANSION

From a Man United fan, Villa is one of them clubs i never disliked. Wish the club and fans all the second best 🤡
But when you first redevelop i maybe would consider 55 000 seater or around that number.

The new North stand will only hold about 12000 fans. They should be aiming for much bigger than that.

To me Villa Park is a proper English football stadium, being expanded without losing the soul of the ground. As someone who lost Upton Park for a complete mess of a stadium, I'm extremely jealous of what's going on there. Hopefully Elland Road will be expanded in a similarly respectful fashion, we need to preserve the classic grounds wherever possible.

Why did Birmingham City decide to make their new stadium look like Auschwitz?

What a load of old waffle.

The problem is the disconnect between "Americanizing" stadiums in a country that is based on social fiscal beliefs. All these amenities mean raising ticket prices, and this will draw the line in the sand with the fan base. The investors think the new amenities and grounds justify raising cost, but the people believe cost should remain the same and still enjoy the new amenities. The fans think money just appears out of thin air and somebody else should pay for their match day experience. Luckily for the club and investors, we live in a time where most people have completely lost any sense of fiscal responsibility and will pay the prices or fear of missing out. It's honestly a win win for all, but to many, it will feel like a lost and they will live angry over it.

"expand Villa Park or risk being overshadowed by their local rivals! Odd comment! That would require the noses to actually win something first!

"Holte" is pronounced Holt, not Holt-e

That blews ground is a friggin eyesore. Hope they build it it’ll be a laughing stock for decades.

corrupt club. Cheated their way back into the PL, cheated to stay up and then have the cheek to cry out FFP which they agreed to. Deluded fans.

Bit presumptuous,who else would want to go and watch that shit 🤷

The stadium is being renovated for the euros being held in the uk

Nothing will change outside the ground. It needs the local council to tidy the are up. It’s so run down.

No one gives a shit about City's stadium.

Holt - a End. LOL. Obviously the narrator doesn't know much about the Mighty HOLTE, the 'E' is silent, End and the main chant at Villa . . . Holte Enders in the Sky. UTMV.

i hope he extends his contract with us at a later date

i hope it goes though it will be good for aston villa football club and the supporters at the club also lets hope that uni emery stays with us for good measure we need some like him to control our team in general we have a good bunch of players who knows what is in install with the next five to ten years down the track i hope we find another good mananger like uni emery really we dont know who it will be if he decides to leave us to go to a another club do we

This second rate YouTuber described the Holte End as 'Holta End' (1:54). He's then thick enough to suggest that Birmingham City would become the Midlands biggest club simply by building a bigger stadium. The guy's an idiot who knows nothing about football. Earns a 👎🏻 and a "Don't recommend this Channel" award.

Our plans were in the pipeline before blues new ownership

Please never call the famous Holte End “Holter End” ever again. UTV

We need 70,000+ and we will fill it every week

'Villa's glorious history ' ? 🤔🤭 The past 100 years the club won : 1 FA cup (1956) , 1 league title (1981) and 1 European Cup/UCL (1982) .
That is not really a lot , is it. Although that one European Cup sets Villa apart from almost any other club in England (bar 5 clubs ), in a select company in Europe..

this is an ai generated video

Why not take it to 60k.

Re new the whole Stadium...ready for 21st Century

💯💯💯💯

Leeds villa Everton we are proper big clubs and probably the same size, Birmingham is no were near as big as villa ffs

AI slop

What a crock of shit and miss information. The north stand redevelopment has nowt to do with the chimney pot club over the road. It's been in the pipeline for around 4 years even before the noses were playing Burton in League 1. There's 30000 fans on a ST waiting list that they need to find a seat for and besides the North stand has been longing for a face-lift for over a decade. And for future reference, the most iconic free standing stand in England is pronounced the Holt (e) End not the Holteee end. And 40 years outside of Europe ? We've competed in 15 European competitions on and off since we won the European Cup in 1982.

great club , great stadium

UTMV 💜💙💪🏽😎

Blues ground to 62k, not by success of rank in tables but the investors. Now, new to light, villa investors ramping up villa to 50k seats, through both racking off debt, player performance and backing of investors.
The park has lots of room for expansion they just don’t know it.
Personally my feelings are that the club should have handled a greater expansion pushing the club to new limits, but at a cost of the people.

it’s gonna be epic,Villa Park is already a special special stadium and on match day and when the place is rocking it’s absolutely unreal i absolutely love our home!!!UTV

6:07 🙌🏻... UTV!

Birmingham wish they were Villa, they never will be and their fans hate it!

Aston Villa is a big club am glad the literal dynasties are taking their stands

I worked with the chap that designed the north stand , didn’t know if that was a good thing? 😝

If you use AI you really do need to check it! Before seating I've been in the Holt when there were over 60k in ground even when we were in the old 3rd div against Bournemouth.

VP is packed every week, with around 43-44K fans, depending upon segregation requirements, with 20K people on the season ticket waiting list. This expansion was announced years ago, has planning permissions etc. Its absolutely nothing to do with the birmingham city announcement. birmingham's average gate over the past 5 years is about 20K (although 1 stand was closed for some of that time). Their announced new stadium will hold 60,000 - if you believe the hype. So its going to be 30 to 50% full, depending on how many away fans arrive. Consequently, I would imagine that the chimney pot stadium is more designed for concerts, & other sporting events etc rather than home games for birmingham. Whereas the Villa plan is reality, given the demand & as you pointed out, the extra yearly revenue of 100M plus gives a real short payback period. Its a genuine business plan.

Lol. Got 51 seconds in and decided to give this a miss. Factual inaccuracies, idiotic statements about a race for dominating the West Midlands… these people clearly know very little about the subject.

If you want to know about Villa’s expansion plans, just go to their website or look at the planning applications available to the public at Birmingham City Council’s website. This video has nothing not already out there.

our history will always beat capacity!! UTV

The expansion is related to the Euros in 2028 as in UK and a chosen stadium, the Birmingham city stadium has no relevance to this. As villa are challenging in European every season it also makes sense with revenue and demand
