And the club has warned supporters the normal matchday experience there will have changed because of fans being temporarily relocated away from the North Stand. A statement on their website said: “We kick-off our home fixtures with a sell-out on Monday night in the Premier League against Arsenal and, ahead of our homecoming to B6, we wanted to ensure you were as informed as possible, given the changes that have taken place since the last time you were with us. “As you will be aware, the redevelopment of the North Stand is now well underway, meaning many Villans have now been temporarily relocated to other parts of the ground. “There have also been other changes to the stadium and its footprint, which will mean it is more than likely that the normal matchday experience has changed for some of you this season.” The statement also asked fans to download tickets before leaving home and arrive at the stadium slightly earlier than usual, while those in the Trinity Road Stand have seen the vomitories and stairwells reorganised which will mean a different route to seats for many. Villa are also putting on extra staff to help fans, while they have also opened a brand new fanzone outside of the Trinity Road Stand and new food kiosks there and outside the Holte End.
