Apparently 3,000 S.T Holders didn't claim their seats, and they went on sale on Wednesday. According to the scum o.s they have 1,500 left as of this morning.
Theirs a rumour on the SHA forum that they've given us 400 more

The way the ticket office talked about a waiting list yesterday sounded as though there might be more to come.

Ah bless 'em, scared i reckon. What happened to their claims on SHA that they could have sold 60,000 for this game? Big club my arse.
The extra 400 tickets rumour has come from someone saying a Villa fan's wife works in the ticket office and was told we're trying to get 400 extra tickets. It would be easy for them to give them us because we've got the bigger allocation anyway but they're leaving seats empty in amongst our fans, but i can't see the council backing down.
Some of our fans aren't exactly going to be sweet and innocent come december 1st so i wouldn't get on your high horses about their fans. I can see everyone from both sides being out for this game and i think it'll be kicking off all day around Brum.
Oh and i would hope our club have at least tried to get more tickets and talked the council out of their ridiculous decision.

All clubs have got their fair share of idiots, but the likes of Leeds, Milwall, Cardiff and Small Heath etc are on another stratosphere when it comes to hooliganism.
I wonder if any ticketless Villa will buy in the blues end? None I hope!
In years gone by, you'd have loads of Villa in their end, mainly due to thousands of Villa trying to get in through two poxy turnstiles at the away end and risk missing half the game. The place really is a shit hole and you can understand the knuckledraggers not wanting to turn up there except when they play us.
Off topic .. Thinking about it, doesn't your ground generally sum up who you are? St. Andrews says everything you need to know about the Rags, in the same way Villa Park does for us, the Cottage for Fulham, Old Trafford for the Gloryhunters..
Who in their right mind would want to sit in the Blues end?
Anyone for whom this game means the world and with close enough mates not evil enough to point them out to those most like themselves regardless of the score.
In other words some of us love the Villa more than life itself but love their mates (regardless of their inherited allegaince) enough to go along with them behind enemy lines.
