£2 Counter transaction charge.

Or, just pay £8 and pay for you and your kid to watch Halesowen Town. You can even stand and watch with a beer in hand.

No disrespect to Halesowen Town, wherever that is, but I wouldnt pay 8p to watch them and I suspect Mr Faulkner knows that and is taking advantage.

No disrespect you say?... for information Halesowen Town are a football team. Halesowen is a town (hence the name) on the outskirts of Birmingham, the city where Villa play... No disrespect but I suspect that Mr Faulkner doesn't know that you wouldn't pay 8p to watch Halesowen Town.

More fool you. Having watched them regularly last season, in addition to many other non-league sides, I find it a far more pleasurable than watching top flight football. The more the PL is hyped up the less I want to pay to watch it, the farcical cup draw this lunchtime only helped to further increase my displeasure at the erosion of sport in the game, in order to accommodate the TV companies.
The FA Cup is next.

As I say no disrespect but if they were that brilliant they'd charge more than £8 for two people and I'd have heard of them and their massive support.

Again, as I say Mr Faulkner knows that theres not going to be a huge of flight of Villa fans going off to watch Hailowen Town.

I'm beginning to think that Mr "Tight as a duck's ass" is something of a wind-up merchant.

No one said they were brilliant, the original point was about value for money and a respect for the fans. Non league clubs need supporters through the turnstiles to survive, it is far less important at the top of the game that has lead to the situation that we find ourselves discussing.

I think you may be correct.

You can see why internet bullying is such a big issue when someone who dosnt fit into the cosy clickiness is so quickly picked on.  Shame theres no report abuse button on here.

If you look to the bottom right of my post, you'll see a link titled 'Report to moderator'.

Go ahead and I'll take whatever punishment comes my way for referring to you as 'something of a wind-up merchant'.

[Titus Aduxus]

You also abusively referred to my name.  I suggest you pick on someone else Mr Bully.  As I say people arent tollerating such behavoir anymore.

[TheSandman]

Wind up merchant or not he has a point. One that he has stated and even underlined inadvertently by what he says. The club can get away with doing this because they know that most folk will just pay the money. In most other sectors there's a viable competitor for people to turn to but it's not like we're all going to watch the Albion instead because of our displeasure. For some of our fans, as demonstrated by Mr. Aduxus, they're just not going to watch a non-league team due to a snobbery about lower level football. So this is how they're getting away with it.

It is a horrendously botched move, though. I think there would be less complaint if they just put a flat increase of £2 on all tickets. And that would make them more money. I just hope nobody at the club is reading this as that'll give them an idea for next season or when they phase this ludicrous charge out...

[Legion]

Chill all.

Well said Sandman.

On the bullying issue, its telling that someone with 65 posts in 9 years comes on here simply to have a go at people.  Theres more than meets the eye with this freefinger character.

Keep it going Titus, I'm starting to enjoy your posts. I actually laughed at that one.

My Dad's just read this thread and he just said what do you expect from people who've got nothing to do but trawl the internet all day and hasn't Stuart r ever heard of Brechin City.
