Cheers, I think I see it now but it looks like what we used to call "outside" with about half a dozen food carts. That can't be it surely? Along with the "academy" (presumably they have other pitches somewhere because that's a bad joke otherwise) it looks like they just want more in the ground and have done the absolute minimum outside.All here mate. Another fly through, more CGI's, etc.
This is what I thought we'd get when the club released details of the North stand expansion proposal.
A very slick presentation by Villa.
I hope City do something similar rather than just submitting a planning application and us having trawl through it.

The concept is similar to ours, but I would assume much smaller in size and in capacity. Minus a Hotel and maybe a (proper) museum.(see the arches)
Villa Live will be a brand-new commercial destination venue and community space, which will sit opposite the North Stand. We envisage it comprising of:

There will also be space in the venue would be accessible to the public, that can be used by the local community, schools, and associations for their needs. We want it to be a destination that is fit for all, and need your views to help shape the story for Villa Live.

I reckon City would be one of the hardest to motivate with a capo or drum. We are fanatically miserable. The best things for atmosphere are big games or some misfortune. We should start every game two goals behind with anthony taylor reffing wearing a David Silva is a poo face tshirt then the atmosphere would be banging

If you watch the Villa video seems to include a train station, the club really need to buy the former Mercedes garage and turn that into a train station that would solve so many problems regarding the whole site.All here mate. Another fly through, more CGI's, etc.

That station and scheduled services on the line already exists, it’s just showing the work they plan to do to upgrade the area from there to the stadium. Unfortunately for us the line going past the athletics stadium doesn’t currently have any scheduled services and it isn’t easy to set any up. It’s not exactly on a route that adds anything to Manchester from a passenger viewpoint. It can only go to the Marple or Glossop lines to the south and those areas already have services to Piccadilly so all it would do is move those termini to Victoria.
It needs to be able to connect to Stockport or the airport to be of any use and that won’t be happening soon.
