I just want to renew my seat that I've had nearly 20 years! I regretfully missed the early bird offer. Nonetheless I should be able to renew. No problem in the previous shit seasons. It's the poor communication that's annoying.

A mate of mine was planning on buying one the day after the cup final regardless of what division we were in as he's in a position of being able to afford one for the first time in a while.

The cynic in me thinks they may go up in price a fair bit and they maybe wanted to bring in a few players before announcing them. I may be wrong though and I hope I am.

This with bells on. I realise it’ll be a quick and easy process it’s the total lack of comms and even a timetable so you know what you need to plan for. To be fair it’s most unlike the club on the ticketing front, I’ve found it’s been one of the real positives over the last 10 years despite everything else.

There definitely must be a reason for the delay. It's very opaque.

We have sold over 20,000 with the early renewals and it would be nice to get cracking on breaking a new record.

I suppose partly the need to replace Zebra and revamping the away scheme could be factors but it doesn’t explain the absence of any updates.

Probably.

I'm hoping that the away scheme is something along the lines of;

*minimum 15 away attendance
* automatic debit of account
* choose where you sit

Agree there’s definitely a reason for it
no idea what it is but it’s most peculiar

I find it very hard to believe we've sold 20k purely on early renewals

Where did you hear that?

I doubt you'll get the last one as I imagine we don't always take on all of our allocation until we know for certain we are gonna sell it.

Choice of where you sit among the initial allocation would be fair.

It would probably be too much hassle for the club to have to wait for all away scheme members to contact them before every away game so I think the best thing would just be scheme members get a text or an email saying "you have been allocated this seat, click here to access the Villa website if you wish to change it. You have until day x to do so".

As long as current members of the away scheme are given priority to renew then I'll be happy!

It was bandied about back in April. Somebody told somebody and the like from the ticket office.

We had 23000 season ticket holders last season, which is by and large what we've had for 25 years or more. I think far from unlikely, its highly probable that we've sold such a number already.

really? Who cares where they sit at away matches? You’re generally just happy to be there, in my experience anyway.

Exactly.

I like being on the end of a row.

Plus at places like Selhurst Park, I avoid a pillar. I want to be upstairs and towards the back at Stamford Bridge, I want to be in the wee front tier at St James' Park so I can wave in a friendly way to the Scottish folk below. I want to be central at the Molineux. I want to be in the Paddock at Goodison too.

It doesn't generally bother me but it was a pisstake at QPR not being able to see the goal line. Can't think of many Premier League grounds where it would be an issue. I think maybe Everton has some pillar views but I've always had a good view when I've been there. Maybe just lucky.
