Don't know about the rest of you, but I would love to get a look at Dr T plans . I wonder if Walkies mate Kieth, has given him a peep . Sounds unbelievable,60,000 now that would be impressive . Also it seems he has plans for the surrounding area, I wonder what the locals will think of that .
PS
Well done to the Villa lads, involved with the U20s Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

I’ve thought this since expansion plans were first talked about, we don’t fill what we’ve got at the moment, even when we was in the prem we averaged 32 - 34 thousand a game. If we are competitive and successful we will probably get that up to 38 but if we want to start filling the 45,000 and then looking at expanding they need to make football affordable for everyone, Huddersfield went up and charged £130 a season ticket, in the premier league ticket sales is the smallest part of the clubs revenue, Real Madrid, Bayern all charge tiny prices. As the chief exec at Bayern said “charging fans 300/ 400 instead of 100 is ridiculous, it’s 2 more minutes in the board room”, it’s a drop in the ocean when you have the TV money like the prem, make it affordable, full what we’ve got and then look at expanding. Giving us 60,000 now would look ridiculous.

We need to get a successful team in premiership before we talk about all these big ideas of increasing the capacity,
Walk before you can run is the best option,
Not really interested in this talk at the moment,
Just want to see us go up first then I will gladly talk all day about getting this club up to the level the Dr wants us to get to,
