I have renewed as well, but out of blind loyalty/habit more than anything else.  I really can't see how we can improve on last year's achievements unless we radically invest in the team.  And by that I mean £40m +

I'm not renewing after 10 years of season tickets..due to the fact I was bored more often than not at home games wishing the game to end !
It also has something to do with the shambles of sitting through Englands campaign and seeing overpaid underachievers.
Cancelled Sky too !!!
Impressed lol !?!

I have been wondering how far away from taking this course of action I am.
It will be like having a new pension but it may be dangerous to change a way of life I have been accustomed to. I reckon the Europa Cup will have an influence on the decision, having to play every Thursday night and all the expense that comes with it.

At least it didn't cost much last season.

Mind you, the season before I did all the home games and, though I agreed with MON on Moscow, I wasn't going to run the same risk the following season. Our early bath made that decision pretty much irrelevant, though.

I will probably do it this season, though. I'm working a couple of miles away so weekday matches are just another small trip rather than an 80 mile round trip, which makes the decision easier. And I do enjoy night games.

There are people who spent all last season watching Crewe and Macclesfield who will be renewing their season tickets this summer. Mind you, they don't have road works up there.

I think there is a lot of truth in that and it wont just be the Villa it will have an effect on.

I don't get that bothered about how much England achieve but when you see the amounts that these so called superstars earn week in week out and produce such poor performances it can't help but make you feel less bothered about the whole thing.

By the start of the season I will have forgotten all about the world cup and will be hoping just like every year we will do something great and I will be there to witness it.

I renewed ages ago.

Firstly, so I didn't change my mind, as I knew that once I did, it'd be hard to change it back again. Secondly, as the interest free option had an early deadline.

Well done, the club, though, it makes it a lot more palatable than 550 quid out of your account in one hit.

How many we sold so far?

dont know but if we sell milner and ashley my two tickets will be going back or up for sale to the highest bidder - more of the same eh?
Returning home up the M6 after games at Villa Park was a sullen affair and not because we were returning to Merseyside !


 Complete agreement, i sympathise man, thought it was bad enough travelling back to Exhall especially at night with blinking roadworks practically doubling the journey time---but to Merseyside, gee you must have been frustrated at times,----MON needs to read this we must start performing and picking up 3 points at V.P.


Cheers Vilan 461.. on top of all that I was made redundant last week ... now wait for all those jibes about scousers with no job...Over to you Mazrim :)

FWIW I think ST's are good value, but I found myself going to VP at the end of last season because I have a season ticket - i.e. I wouldn't have gone if I had to pay the £39 it costs .....

Football fans are easy bait I reckon.

I know what you mean mate, the only thing that kept me going was we were doing better than both of the scouse shite! At least i managed to avoid the M6 by getting the train back, at least i  could enjoy a drink on the way home. I havent renewed yet after 10 years but il probably change my mind when the season is about to start. I think im just a bit dissulisioned with the game, as we being told to cut back in our everyday life but the price of football keeps going up and up.
