Bring on the Blose!

Swindon at home I reckon. How I would love to see a home match again. Last week, I was passing through Birmingham, and on a wim, decided to visit Villa Park. I got on a train to Witton and spent around an hour just wandering around outside the ground. The streets were empty, bar a few sky sports people and groundsmen preparing for the Charity Shield. It's a wonderful stadium. I have been away from England for around 3 and a half years and the last game I saw, besides the Forest pre season match, was at home to QPR in the carling cup-we lost 1-0 in September 2008....
Up the Villa!
and cannot go to the Everton game due to Reading Festival!
-
Carlisle or Plymouth away on a wet Wednesday night.
-
Bring on the Blose!
they are seeded along with us mate, so can't happen this round. Could play Coventry though!

After a hectic few days of Capital One Cup action, the teams who will go into the hat for Round Two are known and the draw will be shown on Sky Sports News at 12.30pm today.
Alex McLeish and Alan Smith will be conducting proceedings and all but seven of the Premier League teams will be entering the draw at this stage.

McLeish, really? He will be introduced as the manager who won the cup two seasons ago with Blues and also the manager who made such a monumental fuck up of Aston Villa last season .....they won't go on to say.

It appears that there is a slight delay in the draw, which is being screened on Sky Sports News. That is down to the England cricket/Kevin Pietersen saga, where fresh developments have just come up.

V tranmere

tranmere at home...oh the memories
-
Not too bad, Coventry is probably one of the tougher draws for Blose and at home to Tranmere, we should be okay hopefully.
-
When number 2 came out for Cov away, I thought it was us and I was buzzing. Then I remembered Arsenal aren't in the draw. :(
-
tranmere at home...oh the memories
one of the best games I have ever seen at Villa Park, and certainly amongst the best atmospheres. Had everything and a perfect ending too.
-
Was the last time we played Tranmere that semi final?
-
bollox just seen the date for the game and I can't go >:(

This means one of two things, my uncle will either text/ring me every 1/2 hour, or, not speak to me for six months.

Can we draft in Shaun Teale for the game?

Very little chance of it being on Sky i'd have thought. I doubt they care about a semi-final 18 years ago. If it had been at Tranmere then there'd have been a fair chance it would be shown purely as more chance of an upset.
Assuming they show 2 games then it will probably be Yeovil v WBA and maybe the sotV derby.

I'd say Sheffield Wednesday v Fulham (big old club v Premier League upstarts) and Everton v Orient (the biggest club in their eyes who are at home and they've lost a few like this so a chance of an upset).

Sky are going to want to see a possible shock so there's no chance of our home game v Tranmere being on. I'd say looking at those games certainly Yeovil, Forest, Sheff Wed or Stevenage
-
Sheff Weds game is a decent shout, can't see them going for the Everton game though, like ours too much of a home banker. They generally want glamour, a derby or a good chance of an upset which is usually a tie like the Yeovil one, bigger boys away to the plucky little club.
-
And am I the only one who finds it depressing that Tranmere was 18 years ago? Another reason to head back to the old git thread!
-

No, it is depressing. That was a wonderful 2nd leg especially after the first leg there was so miserable. Thank goodness for that late goal to make it 3-1. We're a little beaten up since then and following our lots gives you grey hair before it's due.

They won't want an upset so much as good ratings. More people will want to watch Everton than anyone else.

sorry folks, just wanted to bump this to see if anyone knows about the tickets 8)

Everton have been notoriously bad starters in recent years so that might also cross their minds.
-
Ah crap, if it's the 29th then that's the missus' birthday. Gonna take some serious wangling to get to the match without selling my soul.

We won't have details of ticket sales until the date has been confirmed.
-
Are Sky showing 4 league cup games a round this year.
I don't fancy playing on a Thursday.
-
I'm pleased with the draw.
-
Are Everton bigger than us now?
We've never started in August before or certainly not in recent years. Is it just the teams in Europe who get a bye to the third round?
-
Yep. And we played Hereford in round 2 last season.
-
Won't be going to this. I can't really justify it the week before Newcastle.
-
It's on the same day as my driving test. If I pass I'll go as a little present to myself.

It's sometime that week, I saw '29th' from an earlier commenter and quickly assumed it was then...it might be the 28th actually now I think about it; but it should be one of the two.
Either way, thanks :)

Looking at the picture at the top of the thread, Brian Little and Keith Leonard are the Mighty Boosh. Alun Evans is Mr Moon.

TRANMERE supporters are buzzing with excitement at the prospect of a League Cup rematch with Aston Villa at the end of this month.
A little over 18 years after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat over two legs, extra time and a penalty shoot-out to the Premier League giants, Rovers are heading back to Villa Park in the second round of the Capital One Cup. The tie will be played in the week beginning August 27.
The potentially lucrative encounter is Rovers’ reward for squeezing past Chesterfield in round one with a 2-1 extra time win at the B2net Stadium on Tuesday.
Current manager Ronnie Moore was first-team coach in 1994 when Tranmere, then a second tier club, finished level at 4-4 on aggregate after 210 minutes, then lost a penalty shootout of twists and turns in front of a full house at Villa Park.
Ron Atkinson, Villa’s boss at the time, reckoned it to be the most exciting game of his long managerial career.
“It was a totally dramatic game,” Atkinson recalled following his retirement. “People ask about the best games I’ve been involved in. I think in terms of drama, that would take some whacking because it had everything.”
Most fans can remember how Tranmere’s 3-1 success in the rousing first leg at Prenton Park had a sting in the tail for the underdogs.
John King’s team surged into a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Mark Hughes, Ian Nolan and John Aldridge. However, Dalian Atkinson pull a late goal back for Villa following a disputed free kick and his manager’s remark on the night ‘that goal could have changed everything’ proved to be spot on.
In the return, Villa quickly drew level on aggregate thanks to well-taken goals by Dean Saunders and Shaun Teale. However, Aldridge edged Tranmere ahead once more from the penalty spot after being brought down by goalkeeper Mark Bosnich.
Rovers hung onto their precarious advantage through most of the second half.
But with two minutes of normal time left on the clock, Dalian Atkinson took advantage of a loss of concentration by the visitors from a free kick and headed home to bring the tie level at 4-4.
Extra time failed to produce another goal, although Tranmere could not have come closer to snatching a winner. A free kick from new signing Liam O’Brien struck the underside of the angle of post and crossbar and somehow stayed out.
The penalty shootout was as dramatic as the main event. Ged Brannan failed to convert Tranmere’s third kick, which meant Ugo Ehiogu had the chance to put Villa through with their fifth penalty, but hit the crossbar.
Aldridge stepped up to make it 4-4, which sent the shootout into sudden death.
Kevin Richardson fired Villa’s next penalty over but O’Brien, with the chance to send Tranmere to Wembley, saw his kick saved by Bosnich.
Tony Daley scored with Villa’s next kick then Bosnich made his third save of the shootout to deny a crestfallen Nolan and Villa went through.
Atkinson’s team went on to defeat mighty Manchester United in the final. Tranmere went home in tears but recovered their composure to make the Championship play-offs, where they were beaten in the semifinals by Leicester City.

And looks like we were all wrong!

£10 a head and you might be looking at a decent gate. Coming off a weekend home game, I can't see many going for this at £15-£20.
-
at £15.00 I'm going
-
at £15.00 I'm going
Yeah, I probably will 'an all.
-
Wish we'd go back to our traditional Wednesday midweek game night. That's a Villa night. Tuesday's was for Albion and Birmingham.

Too true.
This question was brought up at the forum on Tuesday. Lambert didn't seem to beware of when we play/played mid week. No real reason why he should, to be honest.
-

Dunno- if you wanted to take your kid in the holte you'd both get in for 20 quid. That's not bad value in my book.
-
So can't have our seats in the Trinity "to enhance the matchday atmosphere" - cheers for that
-
It's nothing to do with atmosphere, there's just no point (from a financial point of view) in opening the whole ground for a crowd of 20k.
-
Good value and expect more than £20k if results are going well ......
-
Half day from work, cheap day return on the train, £15 Holte End...can't bloody wait!!
-
I'm sure they've closed the Upper Trinity before for LC games.
-
Looking at the price if my mate who has had a season ticket this year is going to drive down I'll most likely go, if he ain't I'll leave it and book for the Swansea match
-
I'm sure they've closed the Upper Trinity before for LC games.
Yes they did last season
-
Wasn't it TSM that changed our midweek games to a Tuesday?
-
Good value and expect more than £20k if results are going well ......
good value? - its a 100% increase - been a tenner for the last few years! with petrol increases it'll cost me nearly £40 for this game! Must be playing the first team for this amount and not a bunch of reserves.
-
I don't think £15 is too bad to be honest. By way of comparison Kiddie Harriers are playing Forest Green in the Blue Square Premier next Monday - tickets are £17 for a seat or £14 standing, so I think 15 quid to watch the Villa is reasonable
-
I used to go to these games, but hardly anybody else bothers and the team struggles to win or lose 1-0.
-
It's worth pointing out that ticket prices have to be agreed between both teams, so it could be Tranmere that wanted them slightly more expensive...
-
-
-
-
Brilliant stuff, wonderful memories! Went to both legs and the final.
-
Great memories the best game I have been to I don't think I will see a better game.
-
Blimey was it really 18 years ago!? I suddenly feel old!

I agree - no way can £20 for a LC2 home tie with Tranmere be described as "good value". £20 for a home league game would be just about acceptable.
I'll be there though I suppose. You only live once!
-
I remember burying my head in a pillow, as I couldn't stand to watch the penalties and that was as a 10 year old, would be worried about having a heart attack if it happened again nowadays.
-
Blimey where did those 18 years go.
-
I've just bought my tickets I don't get to many games so I am looking forward it regardless
-
I thought I'd renewed the Cup Scheme, obviously not. Oh well, our seats haven't gone at least. AD, you owe me another £15. Payment types acceptable: Cash, Debit Card, Bacon.
-
Did you fill in yet another form this season? We're at the cutting edge of modern technology, you know.
-
I have to fill in enough forms at work!
-
I renewed my cup scheme, just for myself, and this morning tickets arrived for both me and my daughter! I used to include her on it, but don't any more as she doesn't live with us now. I'm sure that, if you decided not to go to the match, you could just phone VP and let them know, up to 24 hours in advance, but now you have to return the ticket "to the point of purchase no later than 24 hours prior to the day of the match." What??
-
I was concerned that P8, which is not exactly a wing stand block, would be charged at £20, thereby more expensive than a league game. However, they came through today at £15 each. All is well.
-
Yet another opportunity goes by for the club to show that they value their ST holders. Yet again they ignore this opportunity and offer no discount to their ST holders over non-ST holders for this fixture. In my opinion an appropriate price for ST holders for this fixture would be £8 to £10 depending on where you sit in the stadium. I am in Trinity lower so £40 for my 2 season tickets plus £20 to drive down from Yorkshire =£60. This just isn't value however you try to stretch it. If the private car park I use can offer this fixture in the price of their season ticket why can't the club do the same. Its just the same shit marketing year after year, they never even bother trying something innovative to see if it works.

The away team have to agree to prices.
-
Well Dave if, as you seem to be suggesting, you know for a fact that the club tried to negotiate lower prices with Tranmere but failed then why not tell the supporters this. If it is truly the case that the club has been prevented from offering cheaper tickets because of Tranmere's greed then announce this and embarrass Tranmere at the same time, that's what I say!!

It's the same for every cup-tie so it's not really much of a story. I've also been told that if you give free admission to season ticket holders you have to pay the away side their cut of whatever the ticket price would have been, although I'm not certain of this one.

That's good news of to buy a couple.

Dave nobody is asking for free tickets just sensible prices which these aren't.

Not wishing to argue, but you did say, "If the private car park I use can offer this fixture in the price of their season ticket why can't the club do the same."
-
You can get in for £12. How is that not sensible pricing? That's cheaper than the cost of going to a lot of non league clubs.

Most L2 clubs regularly charge over £20 these days. As others have said, £15 to get into Villa Park is good value in the scheme of things. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the fact that I cannot justify the £40 in petrol to drive up to B6 for the game!

I think I may just make it..... and have an overnight stay in Brum in the process....

Dont matter mate it still means they are all cheaper than my £20 season ticket seat in the Trinity. Just admit that the club have the pricing wrong for this fixture, as will be so obviously evidenced by the shit attendance that I think will occur on Tuesday evening.

The club can't do a thing about the pricing without Tranmere's say so.
-
You could always buy a cheaper ticket in another part of the ground?
-
I think the attendance for this game will almost entirely depend on the success of the Everton game. It could literally be the difference between 12,000 and >25,000
-
Probably around 18-20K regardless of the Everton game. Is my professional opinion, and we all know how spot on my predictions usually are.

I haven't given any opinion on the pricing at all. I've said why they can't be lower, why they can't be given away to season ticket holders and a comparison with other similar games.

15,319 in attendance Dave, that tells its own story mate. Lets hope the club get the message that the prices were just too high for a League 1 opposition 2nd round tie.

Dont matter mate it still means they are all cheaper than my £20 season ticket seat in the Trinity. Just admit that the club have the pricing wrong for this fixture, as will be so obviously evidenced by the shit attendance that I think will occur on Tuesday evening.
I haven't given any opinion on the pricing at all. I've said why they can't be lower, why they can't be given away to season ticket holders and a comparison with other similar games.
15,319 in attendance Dave, that tells its own story mate. Lets hope the club get the message that the prices were just too high for a League 1 opposition 2nd round tie.
The opposition has to agree to the ticket prices so it could have been Tranmere that asked for the £20.00 tickets, etc

Surely the opposition has to be allowed to negotiate not dictate, for gods sake just accept that Villa wanted to charge £20 just as much as Tranmere wanted to. Stop trying to blame Tranmere for this you are just as bad as Woodhall.

10,000 at Coventry tonight for a derby.Get a grip man.
-
Villa have charged£10 for games like this for about 3 seasons so Id say the variable here is Tranmere.

Your not getting this are you..........If Tranmere want £20.00 per ticket Villa have to agree unless they want to take it to the football league
of course you could be right and its all Villa's fault but we will never know

I don't know why you're getting so wound up about this, and neither do I know why you have such an obsession with me that you want to bring me into almost every post you make on the subject. But I'll explain once again:
I have not passed an opinion on the prices for this game. I mentioned those charged by other clubs for the purpose of comparison, and did not pass comment on them. I pointed out that both clubs have to agree on a price and that I've been told the away club would have to be compensated for season ticket holders getting in free. I hope this makes things clearer for you.

ST holders do not get in free. It cost me £15 this evening.

I'm not saying they did. I said that IF they did, the above would apply.

You can't possibly know that.
All you can do is judge on the evidence - prime of which is the attitude Villa have shown to this sort of fixture over the last few years, and that has been to price tickets very low.

Thank you sir
