Title: Season Ticket Help Evening
Post by: not3bad on March 27, 2012, 12:31:30 PM
Couldn't see this being discussed anywhere: The first 12/13 season ticket help evening is taking place at the Holte Pub tonight from 6 - 9 PM.  For more details visit avfc.co.uk or call 0800 612 0970.

I've had the text too. Maybe they are going to help convince us to renew!

Maybe the text isn't from Villa. Maybe its from some charity concerned about the state of the mental health of people thinking about renewing ?

Sorry Chris, it was the only way that we could let you know without making a fuss and drawing more attention to your predicament.

Is anyone actually going to renew after the shower we have put up with this season? Before any do gooders start moaning I'm not saying boycott the games but isnt it a total waste of hard earned money? What future do we have under AM?

Someone needed to start it off my friend. There are too many people still siding with the ginger one. But why? How can fans think that next season will be any better or god forbid worse?
Title: Re: Season Ticket Help Evening
Post by: pauliewalnuts on March 27, 2012, 01:34:05 PM
I'm not renewing myself but honestly don't understand why you are by turns baffled and indignant that others are.

Or losses, maybe. Our last two home wins I've been out of the country. If anyone wants to organise a whipround to fly me the hell outta blighty then do so but remember that I'm picky about where I holiday.

How can any fan who pays all that money whichever part of the ground they sit want to renew? Where are we actually going? AM does not know how to spend money (certainly not at the Villa) can any fan honestly say that they have been entertained this season?

I'll continue to support the Villa, just not necessarily the prick selecting the team.

I've been entertained by you jumping up and down and stamping your feet so much this season there is a little bit of me that hopes Eck stays on so I can be entertained by you even longer

Because first and foremost we support the Villa.  Manager,players and even owners come and go, supporters are there forever.

Always have renewed and always will. I don't have to justify supporting the club. No idea where we are going by the way. Its all part of a journey that we chose to take when we started following the club. It has its highs and lows and would be boring any other way. Surprised you are still letting yourself be tormented by it all.

No they bloody didn't, there are now approximately 465 threads (up four from yesterday) all saying exactly the same fucking thing. This one was about the ST help evening, not McLeish, so kindly piss off and find one of the other 466 threads (yep, it's gone up again) to do your sodding whining because I for one am getting highly fucked off with every single fucking thread being hijacked.

And breathe.

If your looking for guaranteed entertainment maybe you should be looking for season ticket at your local Odeon? The point is we'd all like to be entertained but alot of the time we know we wont be but that doesn't stop us going. We're fan's not customers we can't help it!

What is this all about? Have they just targeted those yet to renew or has it gone to all those with a booking history?

No chance I'll renew but I'm curious as to what 'help' is on offer.

Ok, I'm happy to praise the club for this then although I do think it's driven by a lack of interest this year.

It looks like they are prepared to do everything they possibly can to get people to sign up apart from the one thing that would guarantee thousands of extra ticket holders. Suddenly I've got Meatloaf in my head...

I'll be renewing but cannot for the life of me wonder what possible benefits this event has.  Maybe they'll have a hynotherapist in telling folk that we're really Barcelona and get them eating onions like apples. 

Actually, I might go.

I've no idea what the purpose was, and was never going to go anyway, but if they really want people to go, maybe more notice than texting them on the morning of the event might be a good idea?

I got a text, very good but when I tried to reply telling them exactly why I was not renewing my season ticket for the first time in thirty years it wouldn't let me.
I had a very nice book with a shirt with my name on the back though.
