For those who are interested, just looked on the online plan to purchase ST's for next season and added up the amount sold (as of 10:30)

Holte – 7461
Trinity – 8644
North – 2797
Doug Ellis (Excl.Away blocks) – 3768

Total seats sold – 22,670

That's not bad considering we are only at the start of July - What do you's think?

20,000 more than what it could have been.
It was the master stroke of the gold badges that did it.

When I eventually get back  to the UK I won't be a season-ticket holder but will go to more games regularly. my son turns 3 on August 31st and he'll start to go to games from next season so I can't travel up for any game just the Saturday (and maybe Sunday) games that kick-off at 3. (4 on a Sunday). On top of the there's my dad and my now totally villa mad 11 year-old nephew and there's a least 4 through the door for many home games. Those types of numbers won't be uncommon and will just keep adding to the attendance which I think will be generally quite high next season.

Similar situation with me. Only travelled up for two games last year, whereas I had been going up to about five games a season 2 or 3 years back. But, each time I go to  a game there is also my son and possibly my daughter. My brother normally offers to go to Villa Park to get the tickets, and he also tends to then get tickets for one or more his daughters and his nephew. So there have been occasions where I have decided to go to a game, and that has resulted in 8 extra bums on seats. So if I am back up to five games this season, that could be a few more extra through the door. In fact more than a couple of seasons tickets worth over the course of a season.

Its wonderful feeling positive about our club again isnt it?

Its like we have woken up from a terrible dream / nightmare

I dont care where we finish next year (well obviously not bottom 3) and there is no guarantee of success with PL but i just know it cannot be any worse than the shite we have endured  last season and i fully expect to see a good few exciting, high scoring games next season

Bring it on!

Hi, I'm going down VP on Saturday to see about getting a season ticket. Just wondering if they still let you in the stadium to 'try before you buy'? I know they used to a fee years ago. Thanks

Villa Park is a Ground not a Stadium.   ;-)

Long may it remain that way.

I think it depends on size doesn't it? I always call it a ground, I don't like the word stadium
