Like most on H&V, i`m a committed supporter who "Puts his money where his mouth is" and buys his season ticket every year, but for how much longer??. The club do seem to be taking our loyalty for granted, i am pretty certain that a conversation along the lines of "These fucking idiots will keep turning up every week no matter what" has probably taken place in the boardroom on more than one occasion, WRONG!!, an increasing number of supporters are beginning to question the whole package. WE EXPECT TO BE ENTERTAINED, THATS WHY WE GO, Speaking personally i am just not prepared to spend half a grand a year to watch the team lose or struggle to a draw every home game, no one expects a champions league place any more but at least give us a side who wins its home games, Lerner needs to tell PL that this is the bare minimum, our home record is quite shocking and has been for four seasons now, losing at home to the Arsenals and Man Us is no disgrace, losing to, and making the Fulhams and Wigans etc look like world beaters is another matter entirely, at one time we would say "oh we should beat these", no-one says that any more, we`re Aston Villa for gods sake, we`re playing at home, Lets start playing like it, before the rows of empty seats start to turn into entire blocks.
I didn't go today.I've started to give up on attending the Man. United game, my least favourite home game of the season. Never at 3pm on a Saturday, usually a horrible atmosphere in the ground due to the amount of away fans in home areas (was that a problem today?) and the less said about the 90 minutes the better.19 Years and counting now. They will be celebrating with us when it eventually happens.I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't renew as blind loyalty can only take so much, we have been terrible at home for years now, the results and also performances have been really dire at Villa Park this season.I still go to more games than not and I'm going to Stoke on Saturday which should be a "classic". In fairness there is more fun going away as we tend to have more exciting games on the row and more chance of picking up a win but of course it's a little bit more expensive. I get to 3-4 away games a season and usually miss a home game around that period to make it affordable.Really is it too much to ask to be a little bit more attractive to watch in home games? One fluke 2nd half v Man. City doesn't really cut it for me.

We're 11th in the league. That will do for me in May.
