It will be interesting to see how the club market next season's season tickets.

Bright new dawn. Something moronic. They should be branded as half price and a fucking apology.

Do fans need to marketed to? Surely you can't be persuaded to became a fan, you either are or you aren't and I don't believe any of us will be persuaded to go to games based on an advertising campaign.

I still keep getting marketing emails from Fulham from the time I applied for tickets in their neutral end against us about 10 years ago. What a waste of bytes.

A fair few people I think would be persuaded to go to games should the price be cheap enough. I'm not saying thousands upon thousands but I suspect the season ticket numbers will fall drastically next season and a financial incentive could negate some of the losses.

A sop to the poor sods who have witnessed years of shite would be a gesture though. Years served meaning pounds off if you renew in whatever division 2 is called this week.

Personally,I can't see us dropping through the divisions ala Sheff Wed.Momentum and confidence are a massive part of where we find ourselves at present,and I think we will start to gain a little of these as next season progresses.

Look when the Heath turned up,all full of it,and despite the fact that Sherwood had located the Sherry bottle for the first half,we managed to outplay,toy with and placate them in a one sided second half.They find themselves right in the play off chase....But they appear to the untrained eye to be bang average shite.

Regards our support,I'm a long standing season ticket holder with numerous un-connected fellow season ticket holders aquaintances/friends/family.Everyone I speak with,whilst being utterly amazed at our abject decline and season,professes to being there next season.Admittedly,some have the caveat of giving it a season,but I suspect our support will hold up for the first 12 months.

I was wondering more about images they would use in the advert. The winning goal against Bournemouth which was a long time ago?

Martin Lipton has ripped into us on BT sport.

Abomination of a club.

Theyre awful

Shambles

Stunk the Premier League out for years.

Dont deserve to be in the FA Cup.

Big shock would be Villa beating Wycombe.

Harsh criticism, but can't really argue with much of it

Has he?

No we're not.

Yes we are at the moment.

Yes, of the omni- variety.

Yes.

Idiotic statement.

Not really.

Yes, very harsh.

Hard to argue with any of that apart from us being an abomination of a club. Aston Villa are a magnificent football club no matter how much we've slipped over the years. Lipton can shove that where the sun doesn't shine.

Martin who? Never heard of him. But let's examine his points anyway...

Abomination of a club - erm, no.

Theyre awful - undoubtedly, on the pitch.

Shambles - undoubtedly.

Stunk the Premier League out for years - undoubtedly.

Dont deserve to be in the FA Cup - utter bollocks.

Big shock would be Villa beating Wycombe - Villa have beaten two out of two lower division opponents this season already.

Who the fuck is Martin Lipton? Ignoring most of his nonsense, but we shouldn't be in the FA Cup? Every league club is entered into it, so it's not like you have to qualify. What a moron.
