I don't think there is any reason why they couldn't continue to work on the warehouse all through the season rather than having to do work in the summer periods? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Hmm. The covering letter with the application twice states that VP has been our home since 1987!! Presumably the Council will realise it should be 1897. A bit off that it is not just an isolated typo! Wonder where the players cars will be parked now? Will there still be live bands playing? Finally, best of luck anyone trying to get away from that Tame Road car park within a reasonable time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that anyway - but their families park on the players car park to take them home after the games. I'd imagine they'll just take up another section of the North Stand car park and some of the hospitality guests will move to the Tame Road Car Park - some Villa staff may get nudged to a park and ride a little further away as a result.

I'm sure they'll start the work as soon as they can - but they'll be concentrating their efforts now in trying to finish off the stuff that's already underway and in trying to get the shop open as soon as they can - once the season is open, the pressure on the car parking and the need for a compound and so on might make further works too disruptive.

ferguson1 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Went to Villa Park today and a crazy amount of work going on. I wasn’t even allowed to park on the North Stand car park, as it’s being used for construction workers only at present. Finally looks like some good work is being done to the existing shop and ticket office area. I am a little concerned about whether everything planned this summer will be completed by the first home game though? Must be several hundred or more working around all four stands right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 In fairness from that video the club shop looks a lot better. It has been really dated and small for us for years. I have been to championship clubs who have had more impressive club shops than our current set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/august/15/Special-guest-to-open-new-Villa-Store/ Quote Following on from the completion of phase 1 and the store's opening, phase 2 of the plans for the Villa Store will see it become one of the biggest and most impressive club merchandise stores in Europe, with work due to complete later in the year. I assume phase 1 is the re-opening of the new larger Villa store as seen in the video clips. What are the phase 2 plans then?
