They could do with showing they can service the 40k people that are already in the ground before thinking about increasing capacity.  I’ve given up trying to buy any food or drink in the concourse areas as the speed, choice and quality of service is atrocious.  I appreciate it will be argued that this infrastructure will be addressed as part of any redevelopment, but the issue isn’t just about space and facilities.  The co-ordination, training and delivery of these services is just woefully inadequate.

I absolutely feel your pain on this. The match day experience in the ground is woefully inadequate. I'd like to know if the club is aware of this. Last time I was in the Holte Lower not only could I not get to hand over the money that was burning a hole in my pocket in exchange for food or drinks none of the tv's were working to catch up on the latest scores or show highlights of our first half.

Fred is high on Cake.

Wait till he finds out Villa Park is actually paedophile disguised as a football stadium.

I’d just like to point out that other Freds are available.

But you don’t doom monger.......

True Wince,  but I can do a mean impression of Private Fraser from Dad’s Army

Disappointed that no TV on during the game, due to eyesight problem it was a godsend, me and the son had pie and beers last home game which wasn't very nice, considering the price service was so slow and poor as well, we won't be having anymore.Any ideas why the TV's were turned off during the match?

Just tried to look at the ticket site and it effected my Shatners Bassoon so badly that it took me all day to cross the road. It's a fucking disgrace Villa!

Don't get me started on the catering

I have mentioned this a couple of times before,this season the Service has been an absolute shambolic disgrace. We are a Premier Division Football Club in 2021 operating like a league one outfit , at best. I am not alone either, I have seen people infuriated at Half Time. Thousands of Supporters wanting to spend Money and ending up storming off in absolute disgust.

They know the demand so why not 'prepare' in the 45 minutes for the rush? have the pies and burgers lined up and the beers ready? instead we have staff looking clueless at empty Hot Counters and then the CANS of lager being poured into PLASTIC cups? utter madness.


Back to the Manchester City clash

Not many more sold today despite a fantastic Press Conference with our new manager. Press banging on about our famous  'waiting list' . let's hope we get bums on seats for the City game because I don't think the new Manager will expect to see empty seats AT ALL . We have hyped the support up so much it sounds like we have thousands of fans knocking at the ticket office door begging for a seat. where are the mystery 20,000?

[Drummond]

People will wait to see how we do against Brighton and maybe Palace first. If we're utterly garbage xand the match is on TV they may choose not to try. The traffic situation for evening matches is also abysmal and off-putting.

I still don't know why they removed the police and the one way system that was in place to get folk away from the ground.

[Risso]

Yep not looking forward to getting to the Man City match one little bit. Going to have to brave the A14, M6 and A38 at rush hour. Deep, deep, joy.

[brian green]

Try it from forty miles further to the south east.

M62 and M6 South for me. Grim, grim, grim.

When I was sitted in the upper holte years ago, they poured the beers and had them lined up for the halftime rush, very efficient and it was from the pump in plastic pint sizes

Certain beers at certain kiosks not all of them have cans which they pour when ordered. At a fucking snails pace!

I remember that.

I used to sit in the Holte End upper many years ago and remember how efficient it used to be, although having multiple kiosks helped.

My friend had a season ticket in the main stand at the sty and whenever it rained he got wet cos there's a hole in the roof where the rain pisses through. I never understood why he didn't just move to one of the thousands of empty seats.

It's all well and good saying Fred has been at the crack pipe or high on skunk or spice or suchlike, but he makes some pertinent points.

What they pertain to is anyone's guess, but there is little doubt he has an axe to grind.

For my own part, I have to say sitting in the Skyline stand at Edgbaston in April, May or September is no bowl of cherries.
