Sorry if our messages crossed.
Yes, I do watch non-league and I will be tomorrow. I'm not sure I follow you about the use of non-league pitches and our players. I'd prefer all players to play on the best pitches possible. But seeing guys doing their best on difficult conditions is part of what makes football 'football'. I'd prefer Villa reserves to be playing in the city somewhere if possible. With the new NexGen (?) competition it seems to me that reserve football may grow in interest. It will if cash can be generated by TV and attendances. 

S

I wouldn't want our kids risking injury by playing on the sort of pitches you get in non-league during the winter. I don't know why we don't play at Walsallany moe, but I can think of good reasons why we wouldn't play at every other local ground.

I'd prefer Walsall. My problem with Hinckley is simply location. When I was a kid I'd watch the occasional reserve match because it was at Villa Park and local to me. Perhaps some Hinckley folk will go. I'd like to think so but somehow ..
Remember too that in these days no one is going to risk anyone by using an unsafe pitch. So why not 'guest' visit grounds as long as sense is used?

I don't know why we don't play at Walsall anymore but most local grounds are shared now, meaning free dates are at a premium and with respect to the clubs concerned places like Sutton Town and Halesowen are a bit bleak in midwinter.

You can still buy a ticket on the day though right?? if so a crowd of 36-37K is not bad.

UTV!

Yes from the main ticket office or the trinity road ticket office

Problem is it melts if it's too hot.
