North Stand Redevelopment Pictures – UPDATE
Been to Villa Park earlier and work is progressing on the new entrance to R block and the first signs about what a possible new North stand will look like. Most of the horrible cladding has now gone and so has the TV screen backing up the story on Villatalk that there will be a walkway from the North Stand to the Witton as you can see from the scaffolding.
The first set of pictures are HERE
Mock Ups of Villa Kits with FxPro Logos
Title says it all but please note designs are based on rumours and the new Nike kits we have seen for the World Cup and next season.
They are from VT and the link is here and the original designers have gave their full permission.
Stewart Kendrick did the ones on this site earlier
Luke Marshall has done one with the slogan and one without and of course we have seen the real version of the third on here.
North Stand redevelopment pictures
The first stage of the redevelopment of the North Stand has begun with the rebuilding of the R block entrance as the OS announced here. I have took the following pictures today when I went down to the club shop and they show that the construction is not purely cosmetic but a total re-design of the entrance.
On H&V ‘villa1′ went down on the tour and said
Was on a ground tour today. They had started taking seats out of the lower North where it curves round to meet the Witton. They had also completely removed the TV screen, leaving only the framework.
Apparently they are going to remove the framework too, and the executive box below it, and replace it all with a ‘glass walkway’. The guide said that was all he’d heard and that he didn’t know exactly what it was going to look like, although it should be finished for the start of the new season.
I was not able to get inside today to take photo’s from the inside so if anyone have any please let me know but what is strange I can not see any planning permission for this on Birmingham council’s planning site.
Will update this as the redevelopment goes on
A reminder of how it looks now in that corner from the tour a year ago
Glorious pictures of three trophies WON by Villa – guess the legends
Back in 2007 Villa celebrated just before the famous Sheffield United game the anniversary of the 1957 Fa Cup win, the 1977 League Cup win and of course the 25th anniversary of the European cup win.
Bob Piper was there and took these great pictures and for fun can you name all the players featured. Particularly poignant is the remaining few of the 1957 team.
Enjoy !
and for the politico’s out there Bob’s name may ring a bell, if you are interested, his blog is here
A possible new Villa shirt design, 30 year classic, updated
I posted here Stewart Kendrick’s interpretation of rumours of our new kits.
Well he has come up some example’s of our new kit if as some rumours say we are basing the new kit on the 30th anniversary of the championship. I have to say they are bloody gorgeous and would be fantastic as our new kit.
Please make it so Randy who loves our tradition so muc, the one thing with Randy we know is the home kit will never have bloody stripes !
