I can see famous Villa goals and cup lifting being played while teams line up, some intimidating music, claret & blue LEDs, it could be made really cool. Now it's just a black corridor.

I heard a rumour, gasp, that one of the season ticket holders brought his own packed lunch. That season ticket holder should be shot for eating lunch at 6pm!

MrBlack Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 51 minutes ago, villan-scott said: I guess this is the real reason the North Stand got canned - to maximise the ticket sales while we can with a full stadium. Which I guess we already knew, but when you see they’re charging that much for a NS ticket makes it hit home. Taking this from the CL thread... its an interesting angle and one I've hoped is the case for a while now. And may mean a new North Stand isn't miles away from happening (maybe once Euro 2028 is out the way). I've no idea whether the following conclusions are even remotely accurate as the PL Handbook that sets out its rules is, to put it bluntly, f@#%ing useless. (It will tell a club how many seats it needs to leave spare, for the broadcast companies associate partners' preferred sponsor's entourage, but not what a club can include in its "add backs" for the purposes of calculating its PSR position. Incidentally, the terrible and very poorly written PSR regulations section is exactly why Leicester haven't been punished for breaching it) Anyway, on to business... If they'd knocked the North stand down two years ago, the lost income was negligible, and any potential allowance (or add back to our lost revenue) that we might have been able to include in our PSR calculation would have accordingly been tiny. We could maybe claim a lost £1.5m for the season? As this lost revenue is a result of spending on infrastructure that is aimed at improving the sustainability of a club, it's reasonable to assume a one or two year short term loss would be acceptable to recognise as an add back in our PSR calcs. Fast forward to Heck's GA+ wet dream and the revenue we'll make from the north stand alone this season probably equates to roughly what we made in all the stands 2 years ago. There are, I believe, 3 new hospitality offerings in the north stand, and prices in the stand have rocketed more than any other area. If (or hopefully when) we knock it down now, the lost income is much more significant, but we can hopefully add that back into our PSR calculation. PSR being dead from the end of this season, and SCR coming in, shouldn't I'd really change that. I'd guess the same add backs apply to your revenue and we'd still be able to do that. If anyone can find the actual regulations on what SCR will look like please point me to them, as I looked but seems they've not been published yet. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I should add to my post above that this may also mean it's a short term pain for the fans to bear the burnt of. In a hyptothetical future, once it's upgraded and commercial revenues from sponsorship are taking care of themselves, they may be able to relieve some of the pricing pressures on certain fans, ST holders, concessions, etc. It's a wildly optimistic hope, naive possibly, but I do still have a firm belief that our owners aren't consciously trying to screw fans over, they're just in a position that they kind of have to at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I think calling it a fanzone is a touch optimistic. A rammed portakabin charging £6 for a fizzy pint seems more adapt. But hey each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get the independent burger vans removed or pushed further from the ground at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You joke but, I thought this was replacing the area by the entrance to the Trinity Road Stand, with those units either moving into here or going away? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's really not a joke. I think the club will be thinking they can take all the business from the burger vans around the ground. I think the greed doesn't have any bounds tbh and I don't they would blink if they could get rid of all the food options around the roads leading to the ground on matchdays. Fortunately, they don't have any authority on the land around the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So funny, should already have been all led for like 10 years and it's really not rocket surgery to put them in. Cost is minimal.and savings massive, the fact it's being mentioned instead of expanding the stadium is a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s LED banners on the tiers ( not the Holte) and an upgrade to the current lighting system so we can do fancy synchronised light shows… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the case, the scaffolding on the North Stand sort of suggests that they're putting stuff along the blue borders. It also suggests that the idea they'd have completed all of the work a couple of weeks ago was somewhat far fetched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
