General,
Please tell me this isn't true!

You'd imagine that it would be easier to police if they gave us the whole end. It would also save them the embarassment of having all those empty seats on show on Sky.

That's funny. Nice one.

The amount makes me feel the Villa didn't ask for the full amount rather than Blues not offer it. The away team needs to request 15%if they want it. I don't know why the Police would intervine for the sake of an extra 700 tickets. But I'll await the Generals response before I moan about it further.

It's probably downstairs segregation. The under-the-stand bit will be segregated along the same lines as the seats.

Just spoke to my Blues mate, He got his ticket today. They have gone on general sale straight away! He went down and he brought a ticket no questions asked!! His mate also brought one online.

Basically they have no idea who is buying tickets. I think the whole things has been planned badly on their behalf. For all we know Known Hooligans are buying tickets and they probably are

[sheldon nose]

Thats a bit far fetched mate....i dont think villa loony fans would be buying tickets for our end,then want to kick it off....i know these wannabe tough guys aint the sharpest but they would not be that thick.......

[Phil from the upper holte]

He's a Blues fan not a Villa fan. My point was anyone could be buying tickets for the game as your ticket office are not checking who they are!

[sheldon nose]

But they are on general sale today......open to anyone,why would they be checking them out?

[Phil from the upper holte]

To buy a ticket for a game like this you should have a booking history with the club so as they know they aren't selling to just anyone! You would have had to a booking history if it were at Villa park

[sheldon nose]

That's the way it should be but it will be anything but that if the Blues don't try and stop known trouble makers getting in.

If you just just get tickets from anywhere how is that protecting the fans at the game.

Its the police that should be stopping trouble makers going to the game you cant blame the club if someone is going to play up,how can bcfc physically stop that....plus the police can only do so much......one way of stopping a lot trouble would be to ship all villa fans in on coaches...thats what they do in the cardiff v swansea games and it works......
