Season Tickets 2014/15

I made the word up from monocrop. Incidentally, there has never been anything modern in generally the club who spends the most, wins the most.

If all you have is TV money and 19 others have that, then you're going to have to do something very clever to give yourself the edge.

I think the expectations of us winning trophies are pretty low to be honest , but fans should expect to see their team perform at home to a better level than we have done in recent seasons .

The fans who travel away are seeing better football generally from villa than the home fans are - and it's at home that we should be picking up the majority of our points .

Finish midtable and play decent football at home and many fans would be much happier .

We're nearly halfway there! 11th!

You missed the decent football bit

I think a price freeze would have been good PR but guess they are legislating that most have already made a decision on whether to renew or not...

Most of those that will renew will do so despite the home record....it's up to the club to win the others back in changes & improvements this summer.

Pretty much every season we have at least one crap attendance. It's when it becomes the norm is the time to worry.

Exactly, If the Norwich attendance becomes the norm then it's a problem, as is there are a whole bunch of mitigating circumstances.

As for 'I know people aren't happy because they've told me' - how much of that is projection because you're fed up yourself?  How much is that you tend to spend more time with people with a similar attitude to yourself?  I'm not trying to belittle your opinion here but I just don't think 'loads of people have told me they're not happy so it must be common' is as clear as you're making it.  Of course people are fed up, our home record has been poor for years, but I just don't buy that it will see a massive drop in season ticket sales as people are suggesting.

I just realized we did the double over Norwich, our first of the season I think.

Kindly point me in the direction of throngs of people who are clamouring for a season ticket next year. I will get one. In the meantime, I'll go and get a shirt with 'don't talk to me about the Villa because I'm a miserable bastard' on it.

The club should of included cup games with the Season ticket.The club wouldn't of missed much in the way of revenue.

[Pete3206]

I'll renew as usual, but can't blame anyone who doesn't.

A combination of more crap football and a glut of cheap matchday offers may dissuade many this time, I fear.

The away clubs would.

[Legion]

The 10% Villa Cash offer is tempting (£33.50 back on £335) but I'm sticking to my guns. Viagogo and special offers now. Plus I can take my Grandson every now and then.

The away club would wave payment knowing playing at Villa Park is an automatic game into the next round.

People are getting to the point of throwing the towel in. Loads of them have told me, usually at matches so I tend to take notice of them.

People at matches have been telling me that that they're throwing the towel in for about 5 years now. I take no notice of them at all.

The prices are certainly reasonable when compared with other clubs who we are in the same ballpark as us when it comes to "commercial size" - Everton, West Ham and Newcastle, but none of them have offered such poor value on the pitch like we have. Among the worst home-records in Europe since the McLeish season, at what stage does loyalty become synonymous with taken for a mug?

More - a lot more, of the "compelling" football that Lerner demanded prior to Lambert's arrival and maybe people wouldn't feel so miserable about the whole thing.

[Legion]

I'm not throwing the towel in, I'm simply not renewing. I will still go to every home game via a combination of cheap seats, viagogo and deals offered by the club. All in all I will still get to see every game but will be a lot better off.
