It looks like the 1987-88/88-89 away kit on my phone.

Go online mate. Get everything online. Internet's great. Might need to try the coat on though which I'd recommend. Although I'm currently walking through Beckenham with just a jumper on.

Randy Lerner is penny pinching us out of existence. The coaches at youth level have to buy their own coats ffs. If the club continues down this totally short sighted path we will do a Leeds.


What nonsense.
you think so?
So the club won't take the "risk" of asking for the full allocation at away matches just in case there's a few leftover tickets to pay for? An extra thousand or so giving their full vocal backing to the boys in our hour of need?
I'd call that penny pinching and short sighted. What would you call it?

I'd call it you being ridiculously over the top with comments like 'penny pinching us out of existence'.
i think he meant penny pinching us out of the premier league
Fair enough. Penny pinching us out of existence was OTT. Out of the the premier league is what I actually meant.
My point was aimed at the clubs policy of not taking up the extra allocation just because they might end up being out of pocket with a few unsold tickets. That is penny pinching and short sighted at a time when the team needs all the help and support we can give them.

You know sometimes things can be over analysed. Nothing malicious has happened, the reason why we haven't taken the full allocation is simple: The person who runs the ticket office isn't very good at the job.

I've been to pretty much every Villa game at Everton since 1983 and I can only draw that conclusion.

I can only think of one occasion in the last few years we've taken a poor following to Everton, the 3-3 under Lambert we only had about 1300 there, didn't fill the lower tier that day. Not sure why the TO would pay more attention to that though than all the other times we've taken 3k (last season, under Mcleish, MON, etc).
