Other teams of our size will sell out no matter what . Of there's 20,000 on a waiting list you'd expect us to sell out every game. With us going up to 50,000 we can expect lots of games where we have 7,000 empty seats.

This is the club's fault entirely for such ridiculous pricing. Nobody sees wolves as a huge derby and it's January on a Wednesday night. They are pricing people out

How anyone can complain about our attendances in this day and age is beyond me. We’ve never had average attendances this high in my lifetime, and Christ I’m getting old.

Wolves isn't a local derby. Except to them.

Complaining about the same non-issue on 2 separate threads as well.
Obviously the owners are planning for the team to improve and finish eventually in European places which will bring bigger crowds to villa Park. Ticket pricing is a tricky issue but from what I can tell we have pretty average ticket prices, despite the increase in the summer.
Let's see what the attendance is on Wednesday shall we - if its not a sell out it won't be by much, and Wolves are not the blues - most villa fans don't really give a shit about wolves anyway. I even seem yo remember you saying exactly the same thing about Leicester last season.

*nb you say the same thing constantly so not sure why I'd be surprised

Don’t worry Fred. With the increased capacity we’ll sell out enough to justify the expenditure. On the occasions we don’t we’ll just do what all the others do and have a give away of tickets to keep up the ground full signs. I think the owners know what they’re doing.

So with late purchases etc we're still probably looking at over 41,000. Time for some more pearl clutching Fred.

Spurs are a good example of this!
I wonder if there’s a Tottenham version of our flinStone with ‘bums on seats’ worry lines?
