It's only 5 years to the games and there's still seats available! Disgusting.

Wait till they see prices for the terrace view/rail seats, about five hundred pounds each by it comes round

Let's hope this is the clincher to get Witton Station sorted.

That's so great to know! Brilliant.

Does anyone know how much the host stadium tends to see of the ticket revenues for games like this?

I've no idea what they could do about this given the size.  They could reduce the beer queue by having those vedors with beer in rucksacks I guess, but that's about it.  Also, the toilets are so inadequate I'm not sure you'd want people drinking much more up there!

Aston Hall could be used as a more civilised fan zone, could be good for the area. Coffee and cake etc.

I can see it now. Morris dancers, dancing round the maypole and a pig roast.

Perfect fayre for the common man.

Haha that made me laugh.

Obviously if they sold booze it would be better but with that you attract potential for trouble . I wonder why they don't open it for hot drinks and food on a villa match day even. Good earner

It was open before the Brighton game.

Given the fact that there is more money to be made from ‘executive’ seating and lounges etc, I’d expect to see the boxes taken out of the Witton Lane, and that whole space used for lounge, bars etc to service both upper and lower tiers.  This does of course mean that middle block seats will be charged at an (even more) premium rate.
