Gave up my season ticket ticket last season , based on all reasons we discussed and not missed games. But I fancied going to a game over christmas and bought a ticket for witton lane at a £10 of that offer.

Villa need to sort pricing strategy out.

The "cheapest way to see every game IN THE SAME SEAT" thing is important, yes, but then again, there will be season ticket holders who think the "same seat" factor isn't enough to swing them towards renewal rather than going for cheap deals.

It's a dangerous game to play.

The season ticket is necessary to be in the away scheme which makes things easier.
I agree that people will pay match by match if they are not bothered with guaranteeing away tickets or sitting in the same seat.

Just had new Group Bookings leaflet. They are trying to fill the ground and you can't fault their effort.

They have neglected their core product by appointing AM and this is the evident consequences of that decision.

Under twelves are free at Stourbridge. I might just jack it all in and start watching them instead next season.

Chelsea are charging us £52-£55 for their game at Stamford Bridge. That's even madder.

recently been making a note of the empty seats on the ground plan on the ticket site. how it's looking for united, working on the basis of a capacity of 42789. although presumably they've had their allocation cut again for persistent standing/jibbing and as such the capacity will be 500 lower.

....................16/11/2011......23/11/2011......24/11/2011
Witton Lane.....916..................753.....................706
Holte End.........2854................2342...................2213
Trinity Road......906..................533.....................482
North Stand......595.................369.....................314
      
Empty Seats.....5271................3997...................3715
Attendance......37518..............38792.................39074

no i don't have a life....

That is about as likely our players playing better football than Barcelona.
