We can't do much given the restriction on the area where we put away fans. They could give us the whole stand behind the goal, they never fill their ground anyway.

FWIW I'd be quite happy for us to increase the number of away fans allowed into Villa Park, with the exception of glory hunter clubs as we shouldn't be encouraging would be Villa fans to support those scum by making it easy for them to get away end tickets.

I'd like the away fans in the Witton corner near the Holte. Not possible to get them out without issues, but it would make the atmosphere a bit spicier.

I've always said that, away fans would leave with a different impression of VP. They would actually be able to hear the Holte properly, there would be more 'banter' and it would liven the Holte up in general. It happens at other grounds where you come out amongst the home fans, but I could never see the police allowing it with them coming out next to the Holte.

The small allocation, I've heard, is because their ground didn't pass a specific safety test.

Yep, after 16 hours of being on sale. Just imagine if were actually good!

Can see a fair few Villa going in the home ends if they put their tickets on general sale.

Still begging for two spares. I don't mind sitting separately, needs must!

I'll join the back of the queue for two spares if there are any going, er, spare.

Well we tried it years ago in the cup against Man. United and it was a disaster...pitch invasions after every goal.

Just not worth the risk with the close proximity to the Holte. It would make more sense to give away fans who want more tickets at VP more of the Upper Witton.

Not really. They had the North Lower and all down the Witton Lower. Them getting on the pitch wasn't anything to do with being near the Holte.

Wolves had the same allocation in the quarter final in 95 and there was no issue.

I've always thought that people that like a bit of banter (myself included) would gravitate to the upper Witton next to the away fans. I know last years cup game with the poor relations was good up there, just seems the natural place to be for that.

Did all the tickets go before the 9 Aways time period was up?

No, I got mine on Wednesday evening. Sound they went on the second day on sale. I was asking for a friend in this instance.
