The owner and boardroom staff at the club may have had good intentions, but their complete lack of understanding or care at this stage makes me angry and bewildered in equal measure.
Quote from: Diablo on February 23, 2015, 11:03:00 AMHe (Tom Fox) "wouldn’t commit to paying all club staff the Living Wage". What did Tom Fox say? And which staff at Villa Park don't get a living wage? Is it catering contracted match day staff? Or someone else? Ticket office, ground staff?He said something about government policy and two-thirds of club employees receive above minimum wage. So a third, presumably mostly casual matchday staff, don't get paid enough to buy a ticket. That's not right.

I talked with my son earlier today and he summed it up in the following manner. "I used to be really proud to be an Aston Villa fan, now I am ashamed."
