Think the Aston Social usually run a coach to Villa away days.

Never done it myself though.

Imagine it would have the edge over the official coach in that it won't get to the outskirts of Blackburn at 11am and then park up in a service station for 3 hours to make sure you can't enjoy yourself.

5900 sold, 1000 left.

Where are you getting these figures, out of interest?

Hate to disagree with you but as someone who drives past Ewood Park and The Fernhurst on a daily basis, I can confirm that The Fernhurst is most certainly still a pub that serves food. Whether it will be open to away fans after the last trashing by morons masquerading as Villa fans is a question that I cannot answer. I'll try and pop in during the next 2 days and report back.

If anyone knows anyone in the armed forces, or is in the armed forces themselves, that needs a ticket for this they can have mine for free.
I'll even pay postage. PM me.
This offer is open to any nurses,ambulance people, police, fireman or prison officers as well.

What about immigration officers?

Had some epic times in the fernhurst  , partying , drinking and celebrating , newest dilema for me ... missed the official travel , giving up on the train situation , my mrs says she will drive up if i book a hotel ! Obviously the lads have all booked out the hotels in Blackburn because the closest/cheap hotel I can find now is in bastard Preston 9 miles from ewood park !  :o :o ... The lads dropping out meant I've left it all to bastard late !

Has anyone found a decent / affordable way of doing this by train? I can't see anything for less than £55 return, and that's taking nearly 3 hours each way with two changes.

There is a loophole via Manchester from Birmingham for about £30 return - PM me.....

Return tickets on redspottedhanky.com for £27 return. You have to change though. 

Thanks for this, a few quid saved and the provincial backwater of Manchester avoided. I owe you a pint.

As a gesture of goodwill the club should give the remaining tickets to Gabby's kids - that should take care of the rest of the allocation i.e.  - 900 :)

Any tickets purchased before 3pm tomorrow will be posted out. The club might be waiting for that deadline and then posting them all out together.

That being said I purchased on the 12th and got mine within a couple of days through the post. On that basis might be worth calling the ticket office.
