I'm in the cup scheme again this year so get tickets automatically. Bit of a pain having to remember to ring the ticket office yet again to get the cup scheme form for this season - you'd think they'd either include a form in the ST pack or automatically send you a form or a reminder if you were in it the previous season. Hey ho

In my opinion, there's no point in being in the cup scheme. You can't use the Villa Cash you accrue on away tickets, but you can use it on home cup games. So unless you're gonna be going to no away games, or spending loads of Villa Cash in the club shop, it works out better to opt out of the cup scheme and use the Villa Cash towards buying individual cup tickets.

Fair point but I keep my Villa Cash for tickets when my son's back in the UK over Christmas, so for me it makes sense to be in the scheme as I'd be going to the games anyway

I nearly always use my Villa cash to buy stuff in the sales at the end of the season. Even though I don't have a ST this year I still bought a VC card. Cost a tenner with a fiver loaded on it.

Good prices, might even try to get the day off work and turn up.

JD will be happy.

Shame it isn't away as I'd liked to have gone there being a croydon boy soon.

Not sure I am happy about this Pete. Villa to win, but I hope the O's put up a good fight.
It's difficult this, the team I support against my old local team (only lived one mile from the ground) and the first team I ever saw live (in 1973, they beat West Brom 2-0 at Brisbane Road).

Decent prices and hopefully the start of a long cup run.

Just a heads up to people who renewed their Season Tickets over the phone and verbally signed up for the Cup Scheme.

Although I was told at the time that I would be put in the scheme, I have not.

Good job that I phoned up to check.

If anyone else signed up in the same way, it might be worth calling the TO.

..........however, one advantage of not being in the Cup Scheme is that I can use my Villa Cash to buy the ticket. This makes the game in effect free.

Yeah you have to ring and ask for a form, fill it in and send it back. I suggested to the ticket office that in future they include the form with the ST pack so people don't have to remember to ring and ask for it. We'll see....

Assume we will be very much going with a B team for this as it's sandwhiched between the Nufc and hull PL games.

They always used to include the Cup Scheme and Away Scheme forms in the ST pack but seemed to have now stopped the practice.

Yes probably.

How about Given, Lowton, Clark, Okore, Bennett, Bacuna, KEA, Gardner, Grealish, Robinson, Bent.

Seems ok but I'd swap Okore for Baker and give Steer 45 mins too.
