75 quid a ticket that's crazy. That can't be right

Good to see our club are trying to get the allocation increased.

Usually £48 so £34 not bad, at least the Dog eater isn't as bad as the last lot in that respect

Still don't think i'll be going, even with the prices being much better.

It went off because those toss bags were on the pitch taunting us.

If they could control the Blue Nosed peasants, then half of the away end wouldn’t have been chucked at them.

There jokers 1,500 laughable they need as much away fans as possible because there home fans dont fill it

The club should be telling the SAG to fuck off and leave football alone.They wont be cutting the attendance when Take Twat are at VP.

No surprise, expect reduced allocations to be the norm so SHA only getting one tier of the Witton if they return next season.

At least 34 quid is a tiny bit more reasonable.

I hope we get a bigger allocation.  The more the merrier.  £34 is very reasonable compared to recent premier league games there.

I'm surprised the authorities haven't banned away support for this.  Have they been punished yet for their antics in early December?
Title: Re: Ticket allocation update ahead of Blues away clash

One silver lining is that this allocation will really show up how shit their support is, they will struggle to get 24k for this now.

That's absolute rubbish.  I saw Villa fans destroying the away toilets before the game even started,  seats were already being ripped up by Villa fans fifteen minutes in, after the Scum got that penalty, and seats were being thrown by Villa fans at stewards before the first Nose ran onto the pitch.   To say that Villa fans only reacted to the pitch invasion is delusional.

Disgraceful allocation.

This is basically an admission by our local council and police that they are incapable of controlling a football crowd.
It is an embarrassment to our city - the city that was bidding to be a World Cup venue.

Shame on all those useless good-for-nothings at WMP and SAG and the City Council... and the people from our club who let them get away with it in return for being allowed to host some Take That concerts in the summer.

Time for Villa and Blues fans to come together and put a stop to what is becoming the destruction of OUR derby.
It is being destroyed as much by the ****s in authority in our city as by the braindead chavs who follow the two clubs.

In the league last year the attendance was 25k, and we had 3k for that. There supports been shown up as it is. Was on general sale before they gave us the allocation.

It makes no sense to reduce the allocation. With fans likely to try other parts of the ground it just spreads any potential problems around.

I'm surprised the Police have agreed to this, it will certainly make their job harder. The 'Noses were also tearing seats out at the Tilton End and throwing them on the pitch so why no censure?

You can't blame the clubs. They have to do what the police 'advise' and the SAG tell them - if they don't they lose their licence and the game would be played in front of a crowd of 0 with an away alliocation of the same.

A cynic would argue that this is a deliberate ploy to give the home team even more advantage in what is now a six pointer.

The world and his wife knew there would be trouble at the cup match.

It's not down to the club. If it was, we could insist on the usual allocation. It's the police and SAG.

They're not police. I think they're an all-agency group organised by the council but I could be wrong on that.

Use the word council and it all makes sense.They can't empty a fuckin bin, but can stop you going to a football match.

Update:

It seems the ticket allocation is the result of a compromise between both clubs, which has resulted in reduced numbers for both home and away supporters in the Railway Stand, and to which the police and SAG agreed. This may - and it's only a guess - be an attempt to head off any potential FA action over the League Cup tie.

You would hope that they would seriously look at the away seating for this one, with the layout of the ground and its location the railway end is not ideal

Police or stewards under the stand guarding the toilets might scare some of the morons who only go there to wreck the place.
