Good luck to her then, a great asset to the club.

I bet she never really got over the workload she was subjected to when the General was about.

I will miss her ringing me to ask if I had forgotten to renew my season ticket, I hate hearing a woman close to tears.

Yeah was in the Charles Sale column in the Mail yesterday...left to join West Ham as head of ticketing which will be a lively job given their issues! Charles said she was actually given a bodyguard during last seasons fans protests.

Interesting, yet ridiculous. "I'm so angry that Villa are doing badly that I'm going to verbally/physically assault the female Head of Sales" is surely a thought that nobody ever had?

Remember her coming out of the ticket office when I was first in the queue to get my f.a. Cup final tickets for me and my kids only thing I was queuing up 36 hours before they went on sale she told me to go home as there was enough to go round for the criteria i said I can't as I live in Essex, she just said to me "good on ya"
She probably had enough as to how the club was run

Wasn't that part of Whistleblower Eileen's searing two-part expose?

Is she the woman who Midlands Today and WM wheel out as 'voice of  Villa fans' who wanted Kenny Miller on loan when we signed Darren Bent?

Was that not Julie Bayliss?

After a couple of meetings with her she appeared to have a very high opinion of herself. From proclaiming she was involved in the disciplinary proceedings for Karsa and Culverhouse to being Lerner's "right-hand man". Not bad for the the head of the commercial sales. I'm sure she will do with the jokers at West Ham.

No, I meant Elaine the receptionist from last season.

Yeah -remember her now. I think the woman I'm thinking about is called Joan something.

I think it was more they'd all wear their Villa blazers on matchday so given the ire after January on matchdays some fans were probably abusing thinking club employees were board members.

I always found her very helpful and I'm sorry she's gone. On a few occasions over the years I've turned up at an away ground without my ticket (left it at home or had wallet stolen) and she's arranged to have a duplicate issued by the away club within minutes.
