Villa Park Redevelopment

[Rory]

I've got two people in my house on the waiting list, but neither of them are of an inclination to be sat nowhere near me. In somewhat of a contrast to our homelife.

You're not the Holte End Phantom Farter that Chris Harte on here used to get very upset about, circa 2004, are you?

I remember some of those. A lingering miasma of unholy filth. Dreadful.

Interesting that Chris chooses not to comment on it even all these years later.

It was 2005, which is as close to today as 2005 is to 1987 (and we all know what horrible thing happened back then).

As for the mystery gut-spiller in the Lower Holte, that person has long since gone away, or changed their diet. Who knows?

[Rory]

Oh, Lower. The one I was thinking of was in the Upper, so his expulsions got trapped under the roof.

  I wasn't being entirely serious but I appreciate the response.

These can be painful memories, Eamonn.

I once went into the SHA shop on Dale End as a decoy while my mate set off 18 stink bombs in there. He ran out and I spent a good 20 seconds trying to act normally while breathing that air.

That stench, potent as it was, did not compete with some of the things wafting around the Holte back then.

My friend at the time had a season ticket towards the right of the Upper Holte, next to his brother, who wasn't that interested, so I'd slip him a fiver and use his brother's ticket most home games.

When going with my dad/brother, I usually sat on the left of the Lower Holte, or the Upper Trinity, and I had never sniffed anything like it at VP, and haven't since, so I assumed it was an issue local to the Upper Holte.

If Chris and I are thinking of the same culprit, and he was indeed responsible for poisoning the air of both the Upper & Lower Holte, his guts could've been fucking weaponised.

Read elsewhere a 15% increase on season tickets

I will need to ask the Wife if I can have another season ticket.

Mines gone from £550 to now pretty much £750 in the space of one full season. Bit of a pisstake
Seen a lot of Prem clubs have done a modest 5% increase

Does she work-in the ticket office?

[pauliewalnuts]

I suppose if they’re going to slip a chunky hike through, after a decent season ending with real hope makes more sense than after the usual nine months of having nightmares about relegation whilst enduring football that makes you want to have your eyes permanently hermetically sealed to make it go away.

As Ads pointed out, demand for things like season tickets is price inelastic anyway so although there will be some drop off they’ll still shift them all.

And even then there’s the 30k strong Official Wilma Flin5tone Season Ticket Waiting List.

Yes, I thought we had reached equality now where husbands aren't beholden to the household finances being governed by the tyrannical wife.

Surely one's enough.

Have we? Nobody told my missus

[Flamingo Lane]

Kind of related to the direction in which the topic has gone, does anyone know how many Claret members we currently have, and whether there is any limit set by the club on how many there can be (I'm guessing the answer to the latter question is no)?

[eamonn]

Got an email from the club this morning with my season-ticket waiting list position update. 27,825!
