One of our long-standing season ticket holders, Anne Edwards, has written an open letter of support for the redevelopment of Villa Park and its surrounding areas.

If you also support our ambitions for the future, please take 2 minutes to read and sign the letter below.

We will be sharing the letter along with the list of supporters with Birmingham City Council's Planning Committee to support our application. The deadline for signing will be 5pm on Thursday 22nd September.

To Whom It May Concern: 

I’ve been a supporter of ‘The Villa’ since I can remember and a season ticket holder for over 47 years in both the North Stand then The Trinity Road Stand. I whole-heartedly support the planning application submitted by the Club, and I invite all Villa fans to sign this letter in favour of redeveloping Villa Park and its surrounding areas. 

Having spent time reading through the proposed plans, I can confidently say that the redevelopment will benefit all of us, including the local community and the wider region. The creation of Villa Live will be amazing and add a highlight to our experience on matchdays and it will also serve as a hub for the local area.

We all know and, of course, expect to be back in the top tier of world-class football, and the regeneration of Villa Park and its surrounding areas will add to this journey.

It will be a great feat to have a 50,000-seater stadium in Birmingham and will be amazing to see further events held in the city following this year’s unforgettable Commonwealth Games. This proposal will allow us to continue hosting these global events in the future. 

This is a collective letter of support by the fans of Aston Villa Football Club, and we hope that you will take this into consideration. We look forward to seeing the outcome of the application. 

Up the Villa.

Yours sincerely, 

Anne Edwards 

AVFC Season ticket holder
