Quote from: robbyfvillain on August 19, 2011, 08:05:49 PMI calculated approx 24k season tickets. Using the select a seat option for the blackburn game on the monday following closure date for season tickets it was possible to calculate the amount of seats available in each section of villa park and those that were still available. By deduction the rest were season tickets = 24410.All a bit sad but I was bored! If that is accurate then it is not bad at all and I think is a bit more than last season.

You can still buy a ticket on the day though right?? if so a crowd of 36-37K is not bad.UTV!
I too have received the same letter from the CEO as I too have not renewed my season ticket. I started watching Villa in 1968 (v Rotherham 0-1) when my father decided I was old enough to go. Not so much 'Holte Enders in the Sky' as 'Witton End in the Pouring Rain'! Stopping my ticket has been sad and not easy. Paul Faulkner, for all his good intentions, will never have that depth of belonging or memories. Which is why I resent his letter. For footballl to have meaning it is about belonging. Once that tie is broken then something dies. RL & PF may well have chosen the right man in the Blues man. But that's not the point. On the one hand football is just ... football. So I don't wish McLeish any ill. But, on the other hand, his 'heritage' is not something I can accept and I find it an insult that folk who, for all their good intentions and ambition, cannot appreciate that. So time to move on.I hope to keep the faith through reserve team matches. But I have found that they are going to keep playing at Hinckley. What is that about? Surely there is a ground in the West Midlands we could use. O yes. I forgot. It's the money, stupid! What is heritage after all? Villa are just another brand.
I calculated approx 24k season tickets. what about the seats that had already been sold to non S/T holders?Using the select a seat option for the blackburn game on the monday following closure date for season tickets it was possible to calculate the amount of seats available in each section of villa park and those that were still available. By deduction the rest were season tickets = 24410.All a bit sad but I was bored!
I'm planning to buy tickets for the Hereford game tomorrow before the game, will I be able to get them from the ticket office?You can tell how long it's been since I bought tickets for any game at VP on a match day!

Serious question Is everything rosy?There are many things I can, and do, find fault with but complaining about a letter saying in effect "Thanks for your support, hope to still see you" and the location of a handful of reserve games seems to fall into the 'negative for the sake of it' bracket.

Somehow something has got lost in the translation ... but you still can have a happy life.
