SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

Today is a good result IF we beat Blackburn next week. That would represent a good solid start from Bruce and, dare I say it, promotion form.

Today's result will not be made better or worse by our result against Blackburn. If we don't beat Bburn it will be a bad result regardless.

Any SHA fan talking about ticket sales is on a very sticky wicket.

It is cute how they're patting themselves on the back over their massive attendance. In reality the hardcore 15,000 they usually get should be pissed off at the other 8000 they got today because they only turned up to see us and won't go again all season.

This is where their "Vile spent all that money and couldn't beat us" jibes fall down. It's because they only get 15,000 at home that they can only attract crooks for owners and only sign players nobody has ever heard of. If they all turned up to support their team rather than only going to watch us then they would have more revenue and spend more money on players.

From a guy on my sister's facebook feed:

Highlight of the day - Bluenose going mental at a 1 on 1 v Villa, only to then realise that it was a replay from 10 minutes earlier. Cue looking round sheepishly hoping no-one had noticed - the whole pub had.

I'm not saying it was their cup final or anything but there's still 23,000 of them in the ground waiting for the players to return for penalties.

Thought we looked disorganised all day, the back four were solid enough even though Hutton is well past his use by date. Cannot understand him playing Westwood when Tish was available how successive managers give this guy game time is baffling. McCormack didn't score all those goals playing through midfield he needs to be close to goal or not on the pitch.
We had by far the more talented players on the pitch either they are not fit enough or they still have not come together as a team.

I thought Amavi looked really good for the most part today.

Bizarrely the noses are saying we didn't sell our allocation even though it went in a couple of hours....and people were willing to pay £100s for them since. They really are as thick as pigshit.

It sold out the night we played Barnsley on 27th September. The tickets went on sale to the next number of away games down at 5pm and we're sold out by 17:05.

The idea that we didn't sell 12 tickets in a month is moronic. They're likely just trolling, as even the crayon eaters aren't that thick.

Danny Baker's tweeted about Gardner's goal celebration, how Pogba just wouldn't get it.

[SoccerHQ]

If you go on the Villa Instagram page there's a picture of the front of the away end and the front two rows are cordoned off to avoid I presume a pitch invasion so would imagine that would account for the 12 or so empty seats.

No doubt on SHA forum they're spinning it that we couldn't sell out so had to section the seats off.

Have I missed something?  Did Blues actually win the game today? All I can see on twatter are their Directors and players backslapping each other about the result, the performance and how magnificent the crowd were.

I'm glad Jedinak has finally turned up.
We just might have a midfield to keep us going until January.

They're hilarious. They stuck on 10k today from Rotherham and they'll lose 10k for their next home game, the part time twats.

What the dip shits on Small Heath Alliance also fail to realise in their endless attempts to out Zulus one another, is that the Match Commander will see today's magical mystery tour as a success, so they can look forward to being locked in and being part of 2000 person escort in April as they're frog marched back to B9 whether they want to be or not.

A bizzarre day for me. I was booked for matchday hospitality in the Jasper Carrott suite (I'm a magician ). It felt very strange working there , not to mention for this game !
To be fair , the staff were all lovely. The fans , by and large , were ok as well. It surprised me when the host asked half hour before kick off if there were any Villa fans in the room, there were a lot.
Warwickshire cricket  players were there watching the game, and Ian bell and a young lad( I'm not a cricket fan so don't know his name -he was the one holding the trophy on the lap of honour )celebrated when we scored. Much to the rest of the suites displeasure. In particular the player liaison officer for Blues.
When they scored the equaliser one individual in particular wanted to come through the glass to get to the above two. In fairness , their security handled it well.
I thought it was a poor game. As the above post the front two rows of out allocation were left empty. I have a great pic of our fans, if I knew how to post on here I would ! There was a tier above our lot that was closed with advertising slogans.
I enjoyed the day but in a strange way!!
