Last time I almost didn't get one was a few years ago before Randy took over, the club was going nowhere and the manager was awful. Felt the club didn't give a f*ck so why should. Then it all changed...


Worked out well for me that as loads never renewed. Moved from row 23 in the Upper Holte to Row 6 and now have cracking seats!


This.

We moved from Row NN to Row AA (front row) of the Witton Lane stand for the same reason.

What was even more remarkable was the fact I remembered to ring up and do it 1/3 of the way through TimVilla's stag do.

I can't see a point where we will ever require a waiting list.

Did anyone else get a phone call asking why they haven't renewed? The woman (forgot her name) sounded shocked when i told her the football is boring.

And we used to take the piss out of Newcastle and their supporters deluded dislike of boring football whilst we have the best run of results and finishing places in over a decade.

But in reality mate, it's your cash and you have to spend it as you see fit.

I've renewed. watched Villa regularly for 42 years, had a season ticket for18 years. And the football is boring. As you get older , the way you win increases in importance. Its the best football that is remembered.

Certainly not when the club extends the ground.

Villa's ST's are well priced in comparison to many other top clubs, so it's got to be due to the football being played and the lack of real star players.

Many Villa fans still want a very good reason to commit, and at the moment, they can't find one so will cherry pick their games.

That ignores the facts.

Our crowds are the best they've been since the war.

I know it'll be mostly cack, but you never know for sure do you?

Remember those League Cup threads where countless people rued not having a season ticket?

Personally, a month is too long to wait for the new season.

I know, but I feel that while increasing VP to 52k will be great, we will have a lot of 'empty seats my Lord' -- and I know many Villa fans who are still waiting to spend on an ST and commit to a whole season of support.

WE're getting there in Randy's way I think.
