Pre-Season Matches 2013

[ADVILLAFAN]

Definitely a high chav element at Wycombe and on the train to Burton last year as I recall.

I also wonder if these people would be afraid to act like such knobs at Villa Park with 35000+ fans there, but feel they can get away with it in these smaller numbers.

It hasn't always been like this at pre-season friendlies but certainly seems to be the case nowadays. Not helped by Villa and Blues playing at Wycombe and Oxford respectively on the same day.

It's the curse of Sky. Everything gets hyped out of all proportion, including kit designs and pre-season friendlies.

What I did'nt get about Wycombe on Saturday are the ones who thought it was a good idea to watch the game standing right behind the goal.

They wanted their pictures together on Facebook.

And what fun they were having pushing over the advertising hoardings and the cushioned filled blocks.

Over they go, back up again, over again, ad infinitum.  It must have been just like being at Tumble Tots.

In fairness, the organisation was shit. We all had tickets with the usual row and seat number on them. However, everyone just said "sit where you like, it's unreserved". If you're in a big group it could be pretty hard to find seats together. We eventually managed to find three together on the opposite side of the stand to the seats we were allocated.

I reckon many fans just decided to give up looking and stand up instead. Not helped by the fact that there were hardly any stewards. Also, again in fairness, nobody was standing in front of the side of the stand where the wheelchair users were sitting. So I don't think the standers were too bad a lot really.

Bit of confusion at Crewe last night too.
Steward insisted we sat in allocated seats. Fine.
Some folk had clearly sat where they wanted ignoring seat numbers etc. I moved from row A to row B, then to row D. A few prickly fu**ers to say the least!
Two people turned up a bit late and had exactly the same tickets as the couple in front of me. Steward said "Dunno wot's happened there - sit where you like." No places for them to sit and we were all standing anyway, doing that singing, clapping thing. A bit tense and a few angry moans and looks for a while but all happy after 2 minutes when we scored!

Well done to the lads walking out the Wycombe ground with a large green triangular support cushion above their heads singing "We're Aston Villa, we take what we want ".

Ticket procured for Sunday. Hopefully have a couple of drinks in town afterwards, although I'm not keen on heading to the pub organised by the Irish lions.....

[dave shelley]

Will you be in Murray's Saturday night Ger?

[Ger Regan]

Unlikely, Dave, have a few bits on this weekend. Presume you'll be at the match?
Incidentally, I really hope the McGrath idea has been shelved following recent events. A pub that opens at 8 in the morning is not a healthy environment for him to be in.

[dave shelley]

I'm going Ger and hope to be in Murray's Saturday night hoping to meet a few H & V members.  Are you Going Mel?
