It’s not a fact if only you believe it.

I would like us to do something with with the witton lane facade .  Something that gives a proper nod to the old Trinty Road stand

I checked a couple, West Ham announced they had 2961, Arsenal 2999. We had 3001 and 3003 for the games at their grounds. I believe a reason allocations are now a touch lower for away fans at VP is that there are now away fan wheel chair bays in the away section rather than in with the Villa fans.

My lad moved 2000 places this summer. 18000 to 16000…. So it’s pretty real and it’s going to take a while to get him a ticket.

The real question is why would the club pretend to have a waiting list and waste millions of pounds creating seats for people who don’t exist?

Yes there was some capacity alignment during covid as there's less seats in the witton/North stand corner the away fans get.

About twenty years ago our sell out figure used to be something like 42, 606 or something but it's a good five hundred less now.

Man. United 3-1 win was 42, 058 and Liverpool on Boxing day was 42, 085 so sure Flint is all over this....!

There were about 800 empty seat in the upper witton.



I assume Fulham midweek in late April will probably only sell out bottom tier so we need to be publicising extra blocks much earlier as a couple more wins and that could be a big one for 6th-7th when we play them and think we could get 40k Villa fans in the ground for that.


Fulham will not sell out just like other midweek evening fixtures have not . So no point opening up upper away end for that fixture. The demand isn't there and if/when the north is rebuilt we can expect many games with 8000 empty seats. The waiting list is massively inflated and can be joined by just pressing a button


Nobody cares what you say. Nobody on here, nobody at the club, nobody. Your opinion would need to elevate itself by many levels to reach that of pointlessness. You add nothing to any discourse. You, sir, are a crashing bore.

You really need to ask that question from someone on here who states facts, rest of us will just make wild, malicious, vindictive and repetitive pointless comments.

Not seen this before, nicely done. Esp the bit with the transition from the 1910s (or whenever) photo.
