That's about twice their record attendance, Talk about a vanity project. Even Villa would struggle to fill that, and they've always been way better supported.
Its going to look class with 20,000 scattered around it

Unless they want to use Tom Brady to get an NFL franchise.

Probably not the best idea with a team that hasn't averaged over 22.5k in a decade and who's highest ever average attendance was 38.5k in 1948

That'll never happen. They might get the odd game.
It sounds crazy and could very well end in disaster, but I think they would end up getting decent crowds with long term success and investment.
As soon as Brighton got a new stadium and ended up doing well in the Prem they averaged 30k out of nowhere. Appreciate their history is a little different with all the issues at the Withdean, but people are fickle and will turn up if there is some success. They also have a huge catchment area when you consider there is no modern day heavyweight in the region. I know Villa are a huge club and are doing well at the moment, but it's not like they've had consistent trophies or top level European football in the past 30-40 years.

Tbf the plans are pretty impressive. I can’t see them getting 60,000 but if they price it correctly, I can see them pushing towards 40,000.

Dunno like everyone seemed to laugh at west ham when they moved to the Olympic stadium and our 42k probably got laughed at considering the previous roker park capacities60k.

Wonder why they get such small crowds in such a big city? Even taking Villa into the equation that's a combined attendance of 70k in a city with a population of over 1mill.Probably not the best idea with a team that hasn't averaged over 22.5k in a decade and who's highest ever average attendance was 38.5k in 1948

60k modern stadium bang in the middle of the country. It’ll be used for far more than football, especially if Brady has any say, which he absolutely will.
