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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
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.

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

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.

Isn't it 10% for both cups?
We had the whole of the Railway for that midweek cup game in 2010 and it all kicked off at the end so can understand why WMP get nervous but usually lunchtimes a bit easier to control.
-
Anyone who is a regular away follower but doesn't want to go to the Sty can they please message me.
I only have 3 aways on my ref although including Barnsley would have been 4.

Booking history for 2015/16 has now dropped from the priority criteria.
Monday September 26, 5pm ONLINE/Tuesday September 27 phone or in person: On sale to 2016/17 season ticket holders who have purchased tickets for 7+ away league matches in the 2016/17 season
Since there's only been four away league matches played so far, it looks like they've changed the system from previous years. It used to be that a game had to actually have been played before it counted for booking priority. Now it reads as tickets ordered
-
Am I right in thinking I cannot buy until 5pm?
Two kind souls have provided extra references to me and I've added their good names to my network, but there's no availability as of yet?

Completely agree, 1000 Villa fans are missing out on going to this due to WM Police's lazy attitude. Then 1000 Heathens will miss the trip to VP for the same reason.
Tinpot force when it comes to football, how can they not police 3k away fans just because it's a derby FFS. Pretty sure this doesn't happen for Newcastle/Sunderland, Everton/Liverpool, London derbies etc.

It kicked off at the end because the 'Noses invaded the pitch, which they would've done regardless how many Villa fans were in the ground.
Not having the visiting fans exiting straight out onto the Coventry Road amongst all the home fans might help avoid trouble as well, as pointed out by DW some years ago, when we had the corner of the Tilton terrace, the two sets of fans were easier to keep apart while they dispersed.
-
Having had lots of dealings with senior police within West mids (professionally not criminally -:) ) what was interesting was that Aston they told me was used as a proving ground for up and coming senior cops, who a few were good, some were useless and at least one was plain criminal... but they all had one thing in common, No knowledge of football as usually rugby was there sport and there attitude to football was like most who follow that sport exclusively.
Their attitudes were in the whole formed by events they were told about in the 1980's and so had no interest in dealing with modern attitudes. I have become more distrusting of the lot of them which is not helped by them (west Mids police) videoing us both home and away (member of the away scheme) constantly for the purpose of which they tell me is my protection
-
Looks like my four aways this season may not be enough, so if any kind soul with 5+ is able to lend me their reference I would be eternally grateful.
-
Yeh, if anyone has 1 or 2 spare. I'm here :thumbupthingy:
-
Booked mine yesterday! Come on you Lions!
-
Sold out after being on sale to people with 5 aways for about 5 minutes!

Is this game on tv?

Anyone who has a ticket but can't make it for whatever reason, can they please PM me.
Many thanks

From the BBC Website
The capacity for the West Midlands derby between Birmingham City and Aston Villa on Sunday, 30 October has been limited to 25,000 on safety grounds.
The Championship match - the first second-tier meeting between the rivals since 1987 - is a 12:00 GMT kick-off.
The full capacity at St Andrew's is 30,016 but will be reduced by a sixth.
A statement on Blues' website said: "The decision has been agreed after consultation between West Midlands Police and the club's safety team."
-
"The decision has been taken as we worked out that we wouldn't have sold out anyway so we were happy to have an excuse for not doing so".
-
It's funny seeing them all moaning on Twitter that 'I can't get a ticket for da Vile game!' and complaining about a capacity 'reduction' of 25k. You would think they'd be used to it, they reduce their capacity to 16k for every other game.
-
I've got no sympathy for any noses who can't get a ticket. Most of their games this season have attracted around 16k, so their regular support will not miss out. Sod the ones who only want to turn up to have a pop at 'Da Vile'.

I'm sure this game was played on April 3rd 1976 and I well remember getting some stick at work the following Monday.
My wedding anniversary is on 3rd April and for reason when me and Mrs Castlefields set the date back in 2003, one of the first things that came into my head was that was an anniversary of that rather hostile first away game (for us) between us and them back in the big time for 10 years.

Still looking for a ticket please pm me if you have one dormant
-
I would also take a couple of tickets for this game if by the off chance anyone has them come available
-
Anyone with a spare ticket anywhere in the ground please pm me.

Any coach seats going empty? I'd rather not run the gauntlet of that police 'segregation' afterwards if I can help it.

Depends on which direction you are coming from? There is parking available at £5 in industrial units along Bordesley Green and Garrison Lane. You can also park in Morrisons providing you also shop there and if you are desperate at Green Lane Mosque providing you go in and offer a prayer!

Thanks.
I'll be coming from Halesowen.
Happy to offer a prayer to anyone listening if it means we come away with the 3 points!

Me and my dad always leave our seats on the 90th minute. make our way to the back and as soon as the whistle is blown, make our way down towards Mcdonalds Island.
On your left there is an Ibis. We get in there and grab a taxi out.
-
The Noses giving it the big one behind the police vans suddenly lose their voices when the row of vans stops and there's no longer anything to "hold 'em back".
Not sure why you'd want to leave early before the whistle goes and miss the celebrations over the years.
Nothing ever happens outside the away end when both fans are out there. It always happens away if anything at all [and I put emphasis on the anything at all, as its all a lot of hot air] Clements in 2010, Garrison Lane in 93 etc.
-
Do people really get a coach to this game?

My dads getting old. We stayed for the celebrations in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
Was thinking of 2010 when we left on 90. Could see something brewing and 2004.
-
That's understandable.
In 2010 we got held for ages at the top of the hill, but that's because it was Villa causing trouble by the Clements.
One of the stories about that night is a certain well known Nose coming a cropper. What a shame. Probably an urban myth though.

How many tickets did we get in 2007 and 2009, Ads?
-
I'm not totally sure. Somewhere between 2800 and 3000 I would imagine. Last league game in 2011 it was reduced to 1800 and all the toilets had been borded up.

Where did people piss? Cheers for the info.
-
They had port-a-loos underneath the stand below the concourse area.
-
Ads, when did you last miss a Villa game, home or away?
I'm visioning a run going back years.
-
The portaloos were being pushed over if I recall.
That game was two days before the Darren Bent news broke.
-
The Bent rumours started that same Sunday evening after the game IIRC.

I was passing The Clements towards Digbeth just as that all kicked off. A group of their Knuckle Draggers had congregated at the pub, waiting for the Villa fans who had been held back to pass by. They were definitely the instigators and I remember at least one of theirs was swinging what looked like an iron bar above his head.
I think they got more then they bargained for though as a group of Villa fans were more than happy to take up their offer. Carnage ensued, and we just got out of there to be honest.
I also later heard the rumours of one of their ex players being involved and getting hurt. No idea if true though.

I missed Moscow and the Bulgarian trip as I was but a poor post-grad at the time doing my LPC and I hadn't factored that into my loan from Natwest!
If I recall the Port-a-loos were chained together. There's no chance of our morons behaving unsupervised, so can they not put a steward or a Dibble near them so I can take a leak half time and wash my hands?
-
Just wash your hands in the disinfectant tray we have to walk through on the way out.

I know, after the cup game toilet destruction in 2010, Spurs were next up at the sty and had to use portaloo's....they were wrecked too.

I must in a minority of one I actually like the derby and their hatred of us.
I've always loved the derby but know too many decent people who are noses to have hatred for them. I'd rather have us both playing in the top division than have no derbies, and if we lose and get stick so what - that's what football's all about. I've no problem with Brummies choosing to support us or them - it's the ones who choose Liverpool, Man U etc that get my back up.
-
I have a spare ticket.... Amazingly one of our 3 (away scheme members) cant go as they have a football match at 2pm that there team would be short without him (been told tonight)..... so it is spare if you are looking still.
As it's a bit of a hostile game the ticket will not go to anyone, so those who ask will have had to at least posted on here a few times.
-
My Spare Ticket is now sold to Tom (Tax Dodger)
-
Still looking for a ticket please pm
-
Also looking for a spare on the off-chance
-
Pleaae pm me if you have a spare for the sty
-
Somebody from Burton has offered £500 for a pair, on Aston Villa selling page on FB. Not surprisingly, someone's took him up on his offer.
-
I have a ticket but after one for my other half. She's been to 30 games in the last two years on my dads reference.
She's picking me up so it would also be a massive help.
If one becomes available please PM me.

Still looking for a ticket for myself
