History
| “ | About Villa Park itself hung an aura that seems almost to be visible. Most certainly it is there to be felt and I know of no other ground that has the same effect on one. Almost it seems to be peopled by ghosts - amiable ghosts whose job it is to breathe the great Villa spirit into generation after generation of ambitious youngsters who pass through the great gates to achieve a life's ambition; to wear the famous claret and blue of the great club.[2] | ” | Built at the cost of GB£16,400 Villa Park opened in 1897, the year Aston Villa won the League and FA Cup 'Double'. It was officially called the Aston Lower Grounds and it was situated in the former grounds of a Jacobean stately home, Aston Hall. The site had been used in the past as a Victorian amusement park, and also as a fishpond and kitchen garden belonging to Sir Thomas Holte, the owner of Aston Hall. This is where the name of the famous stand, the Holte End, came from. “GBP†redirects here. ...

The pitch was initially surrounded by a 24 foot wide concrete cycle track and a cinder running track. When first built the stadium could house 70,000 spectators. Ambitious Villa director, Frederick Rinder had plans drawn up to take the capacity of Villa Park up to 120,000 in 1911, but the First World War put an end to the redevelopment. The running track was removed in 1922 when work started on the Trinity Road Stand and the ground was squared off. When it was completed in 1924, The Trinity Road Stand was considered the grandest in the land, complete with stained glass windows, Italian mosaics and sweeping staircase, it was considered architect Archie Leitch's masterpiece. Club folklore has it that the sight of the Trinity Road frontage (“the St Pancras of football”, as a Sunday Times reporter called it in 1960), was enough to persuade a player to sign for the club.

Villa Park was chosen by FIFA to host three matches for the 1966 World Cup. As a condition of which the Witton Lane Stand became all-seater, the players tunnel had to be covered by a cage and the pitch had to be widened by three yards.

Work began on the new North Stand with its distinctive 'AV' seating plan and executive boxes in February 1977. Its design and facilities were impressive for the time, but cost of completion caused a scandal. It was discovered that over £700,000 of the work was unaccounted for. As a result Villa were burdened with debt, which meant transfer money was restricted despite being League and European Champions at the time.
Chairman Doug Ellis caused a furore amongst the fans in the mid-1990s when he renamed the 'Witton Lane Stand' the 'Doug Ellis Stand'. There is a popular movement at the present petitioning new chairman, Randy Lerner, for the name to be changed back or for someone felt to be a more deserving servant of the club to be honoured in this way. As a matter of principle, many fans continue to call it the Witton Lane Stand. Around the same time Villa Park was made an all-seater stadium in response to the requirements of the Taylor Report. The Holte End terracing was the last stand to be converted in 1994.

Stands Villa Park comprises 42,573 seats split between four stands. These four stands are the Holte End to the South, the Trinity Road stand to the West, the Doug Ellis Stand opposite the Trinity Road Stand, and the North Stand behind the northern goal.
Holte End The Holte End is one of the largest behind-the-goal stands in Europe. Opened in the 1994/95 season it holds 13,500 supporters. It is traditionally where Villa's most vocal and passionate supporters gather, including the Aston Villa hooligan firms: Villa Hardcore and Villa youth amongst others,[3] and an intimidating atmosphere can be generated for opposing players and supporters. If the Villa captain wins the pre-game coin toss he will usually select to attack this end in the second half. A chorus of boos can usually be heard if the away captain wins the toss and elects to defend the Holte in the first half.

Trinity Road Is a three-tiered stand, complete with a row of executive boxes. Although many fans were disappointed to see the old Trinity Road Stand go, many believe that its replacement gives the ground a more overall balanced look [citation needed], because the new stand, although the largest at Villa Park, has roughly the same roof level as the other three sides.
The Doug Ellis Stand Is a two-tiered stand. Formerly known until the mid-1990s as the Witton Lane Stand it was renamed The Doug Ellis Stand, a change that Ellis claimed to know nothing about (indeed, many Villa supporters refer to the stand as the "Witton Lane" to this day, refusing to accept this change). From the 2007/8 season the lower Doug Ellis will house the away fans. Herbert Douglas Ellis, OBE (born January 3, 1924 in Chester, Cheshire) is an entrepreneur, best known as the former chairman of Aston Villa Football Club. ...
North Stand The North Stand, which used to be known as the Witton End, was built in the late 1970s and is the most dated of Villa Park's stands. It is two tiered, with a double row of executive boxes running across the middle. Planning permission has already been granted for a new stand to be built in time for the 2012 Olympic Games. The club shop is at the North Stand end of the stadium. Manager Martin O'Neill expressed his desire to have Villa fans seated in the North Stand behind the goal for season 2007/8. This was confirmed by the club and they released season tickets at £200 for adults and £50 for Children for the Lower tier, moving the away fans to the Doug Ellis Stand. The number of season tickets available were limited to 1500 with 500 tickets for every game available at comparatively low prices; £1 for children to selected games.[4] As a matter of tradition, if Villa win the coin-toss, it is usually the case that Villa attack this end during the first half. The only time Villa attack this end during the second period is if the away captain elects to switch ends as a result of winning the pre-game coin toss.
