thabucks Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Not a whole lot different from the proposed Villa Live and it’s what’s inside that matters surely rather than the exterior. The led screen will be what gets the attention and they know that so why spend money on the facade which won’t get the attention. Or is some of the bad vibes down to its heck’s doing I wonder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is some of the bad vibes down to its heck’s doing I wonder Don't think so, it's just that it was the thing we probably were in least urgent need of replacing? The original Villa Live would have been a massive area generating income. I guess the warehouse will be the replacement for that of course. And the new club shop will be a bigger area, even though I guess we sell a huge proportion online? Edited June 4 by Captain_Townsend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They submitted the planning application for the interior and changes around a month ago - they're in this thread somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is some of the bad vibes down to its heck’s doing I wonder That is, by any standard of architectural aesthetic, an ugly looking building. It may be practical and it'll certainly be a better use of the space than it is at the moment, but it's an eyesore, a carbuncle - without the sign, I don't think anyone who didn't know would pick it out as a shop, it looks like a custody suite. To deny that because you see any criticism as being aimed at Heck instead of the building is a little bit paranoid don't you think? I'd suggest that the cheap look of this suggests it might not be around for a long time - this is the sort of thing you do with a building you're going to knock down before too long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 4 Moderator Share Posted June 4 I'm not sure but it looks from the plans like the store will all be on one floor - I'm not sure what they'll use the upstairs for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't mention the seating changes and of course we still haven't had it adequately addressed why this redevelopment is no longer the next logical step for the future of the club?

If they couldn't show any clearer they aren't in touch with the vast vast majority of villa fans. Got Alpay lined up for the next one I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just listing the roads, it also shows Witton Lane Station and the outline of where we are doing the works. I'm unsure however of what land we do own around Villa Park Edited June 5 by CVByrne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
