What with the demise of the printed H&V fanzine (no requirement to sell any more), viagogo and the current cheap deal offers by the club I might as well do it on a single match basis thus saving money. Plus I won't have any wasted tickets when I go off on holiday. The insipid home performances I've witnessed over the last few seasons are also a factor.Can't wait for 'the' telephone call...I know the feeling, said to my brother that I'd be more likely to renew if we get relegated I think, at least it would be a bit of a change. Our seasons feel monotonous at that moment, always crap at home and trying to cling to Premier League survival. We are not Coventry City.Would you bother if we went down and kept Lambert in charge considering his record with us vs lower division teams?

It's a slippery slope....I gave up about eight years ago, fed up with TV schedules/SKY. The realities of the distance and family life played a part too. My wife gave up her Bolton season ticket at the same time, not too painful you'd think, but she'd had for the best part of thirty years. I now make it to a handful of games every season. I had the pleasure of Swansea at home this season, last season I saw Wigan at home, both over Christmas. Both games were absolute eye watering dross, that poor I couldn't even muster anger. It hurts like hell - the longing to bottle time - especially the match day ritual, meeting up with friends, memories of the old Trinity down the years.....but watching those two 'matches' convinced me that feeling slightly out of place at a home game means I'm free, I've managed to kick the habit. Almost.
It wouldn't do me, you or anybody else at Villa Park any good dropping into the Mickey Mouse leagues.Not that we will mind.
I think our support is pretty poor in comparison to clubs of a similar size, who have been infinetly less successful than we have over the past 50 years, such as Man City and Newcastle.

Really? The truly staggering amount of dross that has been served up at Villa Park over the last few years and we still manage to regularly get crowds of over 35k. I'd say that was pretty remarkable support.
