The Mind Numbing Task of the Stoke City v Aston Villa (R) Post Match Thread.

Watched the egg chasing, and glad I did too. Great afternoon in the pub watching a proper game with friends.

Nothing like the bunch of pussies who claim to be Villa players. What a disgrace.

Has always struck me as a deeply shambolic graceless sport where many of the players don't appear to understand the rules.

Are you talking about rugby or the Villa?

What's all this about our fans throwing coins at Butland? I really hope it isn't true.

[Toronto Villa]

However shit it's been you have to admire our away following. That's why I believe that next season, even if we are in the Championship Villa fans will suck dry any modicum of success. The attendances likely won't be great initially, but if we are challenging and winning games we will back the club in our thousands. If Derby average 30k+ then we sure as hell will.

Not all the players got on the coach - why would I make the story up?

Our away support next season will be phenomenal given more of the grounds will be allocated to us.

[Lastfootstamper]

Got to admit, I struggle to believe that any players would be allowed to travel independently to an away game.

[PeterWithesShin]

It happens in the lower leagues, for example Plymouth play at Carlisle, if a player is from Newcastle he'll be allowed to stay up there for a couple of days before making his own way back, even then he'll travel up with the rest of the team. Seems strange for a PL club to do it for an away game that's an hour away.

Blackburn and Huddersfield will have the biggest away ends at around 4,000. MK Dons usually have 3,000, but last season they gave Wolves a 9,000 allocation.

In our 142 years of existence the club has never been in such a shambolic state. We have been awful in the past but nothing quite like this. Every facet of the club appears to be dreadful and its all down to the club owner. Unless he sells at a reasonable price we have no chance of starting a recovery of any sort. Even with new owners the task would be huge and quite possibly not achieveable.

What do you consider a reasonable price?

One that might attract a serious bid.

Which would be how much do you think?

Perhaps it should be less than he paid for it? After all, he bought a Premier League club, and will be selling a Championship Club. That's if he ever gets his act together.

[PeterWithesShin]

Leeds took 6K to MK this season. Even Burton with a small ground gave 2K to Walsall yesterday. Also yesterday Bolton gave Burnley 3900, sha took over 3200 to QPR, Boro had around 4K at Fulham. There's some decent allocations to be had down there.

Would you sell it for less than you bought it?
