Ammon News - Aston Villa Club have announced plans to take Villa Park's capacity to over 50,000 by redeveloping the North Stand.

The club will completely refurbish the North Stand, increasing the number of available seats from about 5,000 to 12,000.

With smaller upgrades to the other three stands, Villa say the stadium's capacity will increase to over 50,000 from 42,918.

The club, who hope to have the redevelopment finished by the second half of 2027, say the ground's current capacity will not decrease at any point during the building works. BBC
