Southampton free travel

[PeterWithesShin]

Villa's free away travel scheme is already proving to be a huge success - and fans will be able to experience it again for our upcoming trip to Southampton.

As part of a Premier League initiative, the club announced in August that it would be offering supporters free coach travel to 10 top-flight away games this term.

The response was huge, with 10 free coaches carrying members of the claret and blue army to Hull on Saturday and the same number set to make the trip to West Ham on Saturday November 2.

The next away fixture to feature in the free travel scheme will be Southampton at St Mary's on Wednesday December 4 (kick-off).

Details of the other fixtures in the free travel scheme and other away game-related initiatives will be announced in due course

Good stuff. Its not that far to Southampton, but this should ensure we sell out, even with it being a weeknight.

Ticket Office seem to know nothing about this.

It's a bit a way off yet so maybe they won't.

They should read the OS more often.

You would have thought that they would have been briefed this before it went online. Otherwise you end up with staff complaining that they are being treated like mushrooms and rightly so.

I don't think it really matters that much, the tickets are not on sale yet anyway.

And they could be mushrooms...

Not sure we'll sell this out with this being a midweek game, a few weeks off xmas and Fulham away a couple of days later but still good move by the club considering public transport won't be a possibility for going back to the midlands.

Why is there a midweek league game at the start of Dec?

I don't like mushrooms but I like mushroom soup, why is that ?

[amfy]

I think I'll go because my Dad lives there & it is a good opportunity to take in a game together.

I don't care if It's a free coach I'd never go on the official coach (nice gesture though)
