He didn't make a statement, he asked you a question.

Villa Forever

What do you think of Ron Saunders, Dennis Mortimer and Des Bremner?

Just looked at the available tickets left for Saturday on the OS. Looks like another small crowd. Not suprising really, when some bright spark thought this was worthy of a Category A fixture.

Received an email earlier offering 2 tickets for £40 (economy areas only).

Newcastle?  Category A?  Might have been in 1996.

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

Was Wolves Category A as well?

[Pete3206]

Yes it was.

[eamonn]

Maybe it's to replace the loss of the derby with Blose as a Category A game.

[The Man With A Stick]

Do you think it was down to McLeish that there were a couple of thousand empty seats in the Wolves end?

If, for example, we's appointed Martinez instead do you think the crowd would have been significantly higher?

Probably yes.

Look how many fans wanted Houllier out and we still got 37,000 against Wolves.

How many of those bought season tickets when O'Neill was in charge and everything in the garden was looking rosy?

Newcastle? Category A? Mental. There would be loads of empty seats at £38 a ticket never mind £43. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay £43 (apart from their fat fans) to watch two average teams, both of whom are shit going forward and especially with the garbage football we've played this season. Mind you i wouldn't go if they paid me this season so it wouldn't make much difference to me.

I despair at our ticket prices this season. £43 to watch us play Wolves and Newcastle. No wonder the gates have plummeted.

It wouldn't be quite as bad if we had a good manager, good players and played good football but we've got McLeish, players like Heskey and Petrov and we play dire football. You know before the game starts, like the Wolves game, that it's going to be rubbish so why the feck would you pay £43 to watch it?! You wouldn't pay 40 quid for a gig if you knew the band were going to be boring and crap beforehand.

You support the team through thick and thin, that's what being a fan is all about. The ticket prices would be the only thing that would put me off though. It was a sad sad day for Aston Villa FC when are prices reached £40+. We're being priced out of the game and it juat isn't acceptable.

[Blackcountry Villa]

We used to charge away fans and our own fans about 33-35 quid just a few years ago, how can we justify a £8-£10 price increase in the space of a few years? We haven't done or won anything to justify it, our manager is crap and the standard of our squad and team is still very average.
