Does anyone know why we only had a somewhat smaller following than usual?
I never miss this fixture and was disapointed, but not surprised, Did the club generally believe we wouldn't sell out, Our away support in the capital is usually strong.I realise times are hard and the team is struggling, but our away support is the hard core, once that diminishes we are in trouble
-
This season we have only been taking the initial away allocation for all games.
If we take any extra we have to pay for them and unsold tickets are non refundable.
-
Probably didn't help that 5,000 plus of us were there a couple of months back.
-
And we aren't very entertaining to watch at the moment either.
-
The tickets only sold out about Wednesday, so the club made the correct decision. I admire anyone brave enough to shell out £48 for Liverpool, when we are all but guaranteed to serve up tripe again.

I quite fancy us to get a result there, after all they've struggled against shit teams.

£48 ? I look forward to watching the aforementioned tripe on my laptop for free, if I can be bothered at the time.

I didn't realise that Arsenal had sold out. There were quite a few empty places scattered around.
I'm one of the mugs going to the Fuhrerbunker in a couple of weeks

Those empty seats belonged to people who went back to the pub, a whole row disappeared in front of me after 20 mins.

I've noticed that a lot this season. I've put it down to groups congregating together. Our son is a culprit of this. His seat is purchased with ours through the away scheme but he chooses to stand with his mates. pft
See you at Anfield.

Ah, and that could be another reason.

Did anyone see the Villa team in the Pub after 20 mins?????? I heard Heskey was in the Queen Vic by half time.

One thing I did notice was at least three groups of Arsenal daytrippers turning up with tickets in our section. Where they got them from would be interesting.

Yes there were a couple in front of us as well. They seemed find our football team rather amusing.

I wonder if the smug wankers were laughing quite so hard in last years fixture.

All the regulars in the Blarney Stone find us amusing, but that has deteriorated lately to pure pity. They genuinely cannot understand how we have become so poor so quickly. The only saving grace is that the time difference means I can watch us at 11pm and be fairly pissed, then carry on drinking without moronic UK Licensing laws to stop the anaesthetics flowing till the early hours..

Well the club sold our 4 tickets twice, so ours were blocked. We had to go to the ticket office, argue with them / Villa for 20 minutes before being told by Villa that even though it was their mistake, WE had to buy 4 more tickets and then get a refund later. Got to our seats just in time to see the 2nd go in. Brilliant. Fucking awesome being a Villa fan these days.

Yes, but apart from that, did you have a good day?

The back two Rows around where we sat were all tourists. We had a class of Spanish kids next to us, a few Germans in front and some Scandanavians behind. I had more satisfaction from brushing up on my foreign language skills than anything that happened on the pitch.

4 of my mates came down for the game and 3 of them left at half time to go back to the pub. We left with about 20 miniues to go
And there was the old boy behind us who fell asleep in his seat in the first half......

fantastic day Villa aside. First beer at 11am in the Sun, then ended up in the Griffin after.

The Blarney Stone, eh? How appropriate. I think I know of somebody who has kissed that lately.

Never heard it called that before.

I was thinking more of McLeish's post match comments.
