Aston Villa's high-level meeting is very important, that is, the club has been preparing for a long time the new stadium construction plan will be officially launched after the end of this season, that is, two weeks later.

The famous architect Christopher Lee and his team took a year to finally come up with a design plan that meets the requirements of Aston Villa.

For the construction of the new stadium, the club's senior management agreed.

What can a great stadium bring to a club?

The first is greater influence.

Powerful teams need a great stadium to match it. This is something that is deeply rooted in the perception of most fans.

In today's football, Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester United, Arsenal, and both Milan have stadiums that match their status.

To some extent, the stadium is not only a place for fans to watch the game, but also a symbol of a team.

Just as we think of Manchester United when we talk about Old Trafford, we think of Dortmund when we talk about West.

The formal significance of the stadium is no less than its actual function.

This is an upgrade of the club's facade.

Of course, this is indeed an investment of gold, real money and silver to build a new stadium, which is an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds.

Of course, the new stadium can also bring greater ability to attract gold.

A more magnificent stadium and greater capacity means that more season tickets can be sold in each season.

More entrance fees can be charged on the match day; it also means that various supporting commercial facilities can bring more profits, and the club brand can be successfully realized.

Aston Villa wants to renovate and build a new stadium, which is also influenced and stimulated by Arsenal.

Take Arsenal as an example, from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners' home court capacity has doubled (30,000 to 60,000).

Among them, the income from the boxes and premium seats alone has equaled Highbury's total income (£30 million), not to mention that there are more than 50,000 ordinary seats.

A professional organization has assessed that the Emirates Stadium will earn as much as 50 million pounds a year. It is important to know that Arsenal’s tickets are very high, and this income will grow every year.

This also includes ticket revenue, and other catering and entertainment projects also generate considerable profits.

In order to prepare for the establishment of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal was in debt of 400 million pounds, which means that even if it is just selling tickets, the Gunners will be able to pay off the foreign debt within 10 years.

Arsenal's senior officials stated that when all the debts they bear are paid off, the high revenue from tickets in the following days will bring Arsenal ample funds, and the good day for the team to buy people in large quantities is coming.

These are all visible benefits and gains.

There is another point that Fang Jue valued the most.

That is the appreciation of assets.

For ordinary people, real estate may not bring cash flow support, but it will serve as an important basis for evaluating your wealth.

In the same way, the stadium is the real estate of the club, and its valuation is very important.

According to the ranking of the world's most valuable teams given by Forbes last month, Arsenal, which has had a poor record for many years, has the same ranking as Real Madrid, with a valuation of up to $1.938 billion.

The reason is that the existence of the Emirates Stadium makes Arsenal particularly "valuable" in the eyes of Forbes. It is the fixed wealth of the Gunners and provides a credibility guarantee for this club.

Let's put it this way, the effect of a good stadium with excellent athletic performance is a high valuation.

The TV broadcast share is certainly the bulk of its income, but the ticket income on match days and the surrounding consumption of fans while watching football can also contribute more than 20% of the club's income.

In addition to economic considerations, the attractiveness of the new stadium to local fans will allow the team to have a wider local fan base.

In fact, seeing Arsenal's new stadium so great, Chelsea have always wanted to renovate Stamford Bridge.

However, due to the wealthy area with a lot of money, Stamford Bridge's rebirth plan is nowhere in sight, because Chelsea can't afford such a high demolition fee.

...

"From the Urban Construction Department of Birmingham, our plan was basically approved, and only the details need to be discussed."

"The Birmingham Transport Bureau is also seriously considering the supporting facilities of the stadium station after the completion of the new stadium."

Aston Villa's new stadium construction process is relatively smooth.

With the rise of Aston Villa, this team has once again become a glittering business card for Birmingham.

According to the statistics of the Birmingham Tourism Department, the number of foreign tourists visiting Birmingham in the past year has increased by 11%. Among them, tourists from Asia, especially China, have increased by 29%. Many Chinese tourists come to the UK to visit, and Birmingham has become a must-visit place.

Many travel agencies in China have opened up special tourist routes to visit Birmingham and now watch the Aston Villa game.

The benefits of Aston Villa’s expanded influence can be seen.

The Birmingham City Council has previously approved Aston Villa's plan to expand a new stadium on the basis of the original site of Villa Park Stadium with 39 votes in favor and 6 votes against.

Although the decision still needs to be approved by the mayor of Birmingham, this result has already relieved the Aston Villa executives.

The mayor will make a decision of support or opposition within the next ten days.

Fang Jue is not worried that Birmingham Mayor Stevenden will vote against him. Mr. Mayor has visited Villa Park many times to watch football, and has communicated with Fang Jue many times. He is about the rise of Aston Villa and its growth into the Premier League. Even the plans of the top European giants are very appreciated.

One more thing, Stevenden is a fan of Aston Villa. Although this does not mean that the mayor will act favoritism, the city council has passed it and things can be done smoothly.

In fact, the Aston Villa Club has already started the preparations for the new stadium plan ahead of time. The club has already spent £1.2 million on the development and demolition compensation for the original site expansion.

Aston Villa promised to the community that after the completion of the new stadium, 500 new jobs will be created, hundreds of houses will be built, and medical institutions and nurseries will be provided for citizens who are forced to relocate to the new community.

Such compensation measures are also the most important reason why these residents are willing to demolish.

Of course, most of these residents are Aston Villa fans, which also played a little role.

This means that the area around Villa Park is not a wealthy area. Otherwise, if it is like Stamford Bridge, the demolition fee and compensation for new houses and supporting facilities alone will cost 100 million pounds. The problem is The rich people in these rich areas are unwilling to demolish.

"The budget for the new stadium is around 600 million pounds. The initial capital we can invest is 200 million pounds. In addition, F&P can provide a low-interest loan of 100 million pounds. Therefore, the start-up capital for the new stadium is sufficient."

For a large project of 600 million pounds, it is already quite remarkable to have 300 million pounds of start-up capital.

The remaining 300 million pounds of funds is not a big problem for the current Aston Villa.

Among other things, if Aston Villa wants a loan, many banks will squeeze out to provide loans.

Aston Villa has been very profitable for three consecutive seasons. The Aston Villa team has many stars and the valuation is quite high. The bank is very optimistic about this rising team.

Just a joke, Aston Villa sold two top stars, half of the difference of 300 million pounds.

To build a modern top-notch stadium, this is the second step for Aston Villa to become a giant and even a top giant after achieving results on the field!

...

The design drawings are available, the start-up funds are available, and the Birmingham local government is more cooperative in preparation.

There is only one problem left. After the season, the Villa Park Stadium will be demolished and construction will begin.

According to the plan, in the most smooth case, the construction period will last for one year. If the new stadium is the fastest, it will not be available until the 2013 season.

Even if the construction period is extended, the new stadium may not be put into use until the 2014 2015 season.

So, the last and most important question comes, where will Aston Villa's home stadium be next season?

Aston Villa has only one option next season, and that is to borrow another team's stadium.

The first and most important thing is that considering the distance factor, a court with three teams is more suitable.

One is naturally the St. Andrews Stadium, home of Aston Villa’s city rivals, Birmingham City, which can accommodate up to 30,000 fans.

One is the Molinox Stadium of the Wolverhampton Wanderers in Wolfampton, which is very close to Birmingham. This stadium can accommodate more than 28,000 fans.

Many people are not familiar with the name Wolfrandon Rangers, and they also have the name "Wolves".

The other is the King Power Stadium of Leicester City in Leicester City, which is also close to Birmingham. This stadium can accommodate more than 32,000 fans.

The current situation of these teams is:

Birmingham is still in the British Championship and is very hopeful of reaching the promotion play-offs of the British Championship. However, it is quite difficult to get back from the promotion play-offs to the Premier League.

Leicester City has a mediocre record in the British Championship this season and will be squandered in the British Championship next season.

The Wolves are now in the Premier League this season, but this team has been relegated early and will play in the Premier League next season.

The British Championship schedule is quite dense. It is difficult to say whether Leicester City and Wolves are willing to rent the stadium to Aston Villa.

Of course, according to the ideas of everyone in Aston Villa, it is best to rent the St Andrews Stadium in Birmingham, which is the most suitable place in Birmingham.

However, considering the relationship between the two teams' rivals in the same city, this is difficult.

In particular, Aston Villa is now on the rise, and its development is getting better and better. This is so arrogant that it is going to build a new stadium. As a rival in the same city, it is already all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. Now you have to rent our stadium. , This is a bit of a lack of martial ethics, killing people and condemning them.

However, on the Italian side, Juventus used the Olympic Stadium in Turin during the construction of the new stadium ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so Fang Jue thought he could give it a try. What if the people of Birmingham are kind and talkative?

Contact these three clubs and negotiate the lease of the stadium to the club’s general manager Byron. Compared with the club’s CEO Bob Clark, who is a German, Byron is a native of England. He has contacts and contacts with many clubs. He went to talk about the most appropriate.

Fang Jue focused his attention on the last two league games of the season.

The team has won the championship ahead of schedule. In Fang Jue's calculations, the team's final task is to help Suarez score (swipe) goals and try to help Suarez surpass Van Persie, who was the first scorer, and get the Premier League golden boot.

At present, Van Persie’s Premier League goals are 28 goals, and Suarez’s 26 goals. There are still two rounds in the league, and there is still hope for a lead.
