Why? Back it up. The silence from people at Villa is deafening. If this was any other club every director, CE, local papers and influential supporters (which Dave is) would be raging at the injustice. We've just rolled over and died. The only real grief in a couple of years was Blackburn away.. Well that pub sold beer to under 18s for 3/4 hours and then cry when the toilets get smashed up. All in all a fuckin disgrace.

Hoppo, raging against the injustice yesterday.

Lots of moaning but are there any ST holders on here with the away history who didn't get tickets ? I forgot and was late calling the TO on weds but still got our 2 no problems.

People will obviously travel without tickets and undoubtedly there will be trouble, but Wigan will have considered this before making their decision. Let's hope for the sake of our reputation it's the right one.

ST holders who've attended 1 or 2 aways will have missed out. Mates of mine who have already booked train tickets fall into this category.

Maybe if they had opened up with a minimum of 12 aways, people with low numbers would not have got their hopes up. I still maintain that Villa fully expected to get the higher allocation and that is why they started so low.

They definately did. I phoned up a few days before they went on sale to find out the sales criteria as they'd not appeared online yet and I asked the woman how many we had - she said 4500.

We've got the whole end but because of our reputation we'll all have a copper or steward sitting next to us and then a row of police at the front filming us.
If anyone does step out of hand though they still won't deal with them there and then, they'll wait a few months then send photos to the Evening Mail and expect people to identify them.

Apparently there was trouble between Wolves and Wigan fans at the end of the game last day last season and a few have said West Ham kicked off when they were relegated in 2011.

A lot of this is due to Wigan fans invading the pitch at the end of the final game so you can imagine a few of their dickheads will run over towards us if they win so there could be problems then.

I'd imagine with the reduced allocation the police will block the first few rows to stop any pitch invasions after hopefully some of our goals.
