Aston Villa v QPR Pre-Match thread

[Chipsticks]

Looking at the seat thingy on the tickets section of the web site, I reckon this'll be our lowest gate of the season.

Still looking better than it did for Southampton.

[PeterWithesShin]

The only things I can see on the QPR site is this "INITIAL ALLOCATION 530 UPPER TIER TICKETS: Adults will pay only £27 (£10 discount) for the trip to Villa Park, £24 Seniors Over 65/Under 21’s/Full Time Students/Members of the Armed Forces, £8.00 for Under 18 and £7.00 Under 8 (£5 Discount)"

And also this "INITIAL ALLOCATION 890 UPPER TIER TICKETS: Adults will pay only £27 (£10 discount) for the trip to Villa Park, £24 Seniors Over 65/Under 21’s/Full Time Students/Members of the Armed Forces, £8.00 for Under 18 and £7.00 Under 8 (£5 Discount)"

No mention of further allocations, but who knows as they can't seem to make up their mind what their allocation is.

Mr Shin.......... how about converting this into the Pre-Match thread ?

I've had a look and they're not selling any more, probably due to the bank hols. It says that away fans can pay at the ticket office next to the away end, so looks like Paulie's right about the shit turnout from the visitors.

Prayer mats out. We need to start strong and really go at them. Hope Sinclair is playing and we get in crosses early and often to Benteke. Home win is absoluble must. No excuses not to beat this lot.

Apparently QPR "got lucky" as pretty much every shot was a goal according to a Baggies supporting friend who went to the match yesterday...they haven't managed an away win all season so can QPR get lucky twice with 2 away wins under their belt in 4 days?

As we have known for weeks, there will be ups and downs and twists and turns right to the wire. Players and fans alike, we must make sure our metaphorical balls don't fall off and roll under the settee from now until the run-in.

[PaulWinch again]

Maybe not must win, but about as close as you can get without it being mathmatically essential.

I wouldn't take your mates word as gospel.

They're probably saying the same and with more reason than we have right now. They seem to be playing with confidence and even though it was only the Baggies, they absolutely hammered them.

Neither would I.  You can never beat Albion, only score more goals than them.

12 shots, 7 on target. And they won away at Sunderland in Feb.

They probably got lucky when they beat the Bitters at Loftus Road as well.

But as we saw ourselves confidence only goes so far. We battered Sunderland and followed that up with a defeat to Swansea. We need to do our thing and not worry about them.
