Begging letter - I only have Sheff Wed, Derby and Barnsley on my card this  season - Bristol City I went but managed to scramble a ticket through someone on this site.

I am away for  Preston - my second closest away (Spain).

Yes looking for a ticket for the Sty.  Anyone one who can possibly assist please PM me.

Allocation of 2000 ?
The dump is hardly bursting at the seams

[QuintonVilla]

Police and club advice have restricted us to 2000, they will get the same at VP. Scottish police can handle 7000 Rangers fans at Celtic yet WMP can only handle 2000 Villa or Small Heath.

[Clampy]

Personally, I think it's the right thing to do. It's an hostile enough fixture as it is and you know what them lot are like and the more tickets we get, the more chance a few of our loons who only go to games like this will have of getting one. I know people are going to be disappointed but I think it's a sensible approach.

[cdbearsfan]

Nonsense. The idiotic minority shouldn't be allowed to spoil it for the minority.

As a previous poster said, if the Strathclyde police can handle it, why are ours so useless?

[DeKuip]

WEst Mids Police's way of coping with any potential problem is by stopping people going. Most football matches they have bugger all to do and when a game comes along that might create a little bit more work for them this is how they avoid it.

If they just acted and dealt with people who stepped out of line when it happened instead of just releasing images 6 months later for the public could do their work for them, maybe good law abiding fans could watch football when they want to.

They've already spoilt this fixture by insisting on ridiculous Sunday lunchtime kick-offs, now they want to stop people going as well.

Police forces up and down the country can cope with derbies, ours can't. And don't try and tell me ours is any worse than others, that's crap.

Out of interest, what time do you think the game should be?

[SoccerHQ]

SHA were entitled to far more tickets for the cup game than they got so have no issue and the price for those going will probably be the cheapest we've paid at the sty for quite a while given they were charging 40 quid in the prem days.

They'll only get 2k tickets for the return in April I'd imagine.

Good luck with that 46 week season and no cup matches!

They should have more tickets at Villa Park too. Police are useless.

[wittonwarrior]

The fixture is dead as far as Villa fans looking  forward to it. 

I remember the 70's when we took in excess of 10,000 to the Sty.  The dislike has always been there, but the hatred never as bad as today.  I would even go onto say that it was Man Ure for whom we had  a proper hatred back then.

The atmosphere was second to none even at St Andrews.  The Spring bank holiday game in 76 the first one back at St Andrews was for all intense and purposes captured a cup final atmosphere. 

I think that the fans of both clubs have helped the police come to such a decision.  When you get an allocation of so few tickets it has killed the fixture.

Can  see even the Blues have placed a strict ticket policy on their own fans for what is a home game.  May as well play the game behind closed doors and broadcast the result afterwards.

They got the league allocation. The only alternative would have been to put them in the Upper North. The Stripey Filth in the FA Cup game chucked loads down so it wouldn't have worked.

There's no reason why we couldn't have all the Railway End and be adequately policed.
