Season tickets next season - what will they do?

[PeterWithesShin]

I reckon they are clearing those seats in the Lower North so as Gabby has somewhere to sit.

That sea of blue seats bang opposite the cameras is going to look great on telly.

We can just do a Mosaic like Arsenal had during the North Bank.  Maybe 5,000 Lerner clown heads?

That's why i thought it would be one of the tiers in the witton lane stand. Anyway i like to think the upper trinity will be opened again as and when the demand is there. It seems like a long time ago that Mr Krulak was talking of expanding the north stand.

I was going to suggest that ( actually, a mural). We could paint loads of miserable faces. And a few banners, for the authentic "Villa fan" effect

What have I missed? I know paulie is a racist now but has somebody had a pop at migrants and single parents?

You want to go to Off Topic. Paulie's denying climate change and talking up a china figurine of Princess Diana.

I think it's the right decision with regards the Trinity Upper. That stands only needed if we are going to get any games where over 38,000 turn up. May not be what they want, but moving down one tier for a reduced price doesn't seem that bad an alternative to me for the few hundred ST holders currently up there.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's a decision that makes sense, until you think that at the worst possible time they are pissing off 100s of ST holders who pay some of the highest prices in the ground. Isn't it about £550-600 up there? Even if there's only about 400 ST holders up there, that's about a quarter of a million by my reckoning, especially when you add in by match ticket sales. Plus concession purchases. I have my doubts that it will cost that much to staff it next season.

They do pay the most in the ground and it's another piece of bad news they could do without. The timing couldn't be helped though, as the letters would have already been sent before the Bernstein/King resignations.

Why not price it to fill it?

If they priced it to fill it, those of us paying higher prices in the rest of the ground might get a bit pissed off.

It'll be the Villa version of Oakland's 'Mount Davis'



I suggest that we call it 'Lerner Hillock'

They've really done it to piss off people looking for cheap tickets in the wings and then moving central when the game starts 


I've always been surprised by the cost of tickets in the UTR. Prices up there are more than I pay behind the home dugout

They should shut down the wings of all of the stands and plant tasteful trees and shrubbery. We would go beyond carbon neutrality into exciting new realms of  conservation.   

I would suggest that the Trinity wing nearest the Holte and the attached wing of the Holte be planted especially thickly and called Dunce Corner after Onegoalayear.

I assume it's because it's a better view than the tier. Plus you can avoid the commoners that sit behind the dugout.
