The hospitality food i had at the springsteen was some of the worst food ive ever had in a football stadium, corporate or not. The whole experience was crap. Saved by the gig.
i was lucky last year went in the Directors Club or Lions Club whatever its called now through work for the Fulham game . We had that 7 course "tasting menu" . It was pretty mediocre and certainly wasn't fine dining. Bang average and all served up by the same level of service we get over in the Witton Upper. How people sit through that every home game is beyond me

Perhaps they just thought you were a bellend and treated you accordingly?
They probably confused me with you

Apparently our CFO has left.  I didn’t know whether that was planned or not.  But in researching that I found this quote from Heck in September.

“It’s time to awaken this sleeping giant of a football club – both on and off the pitch - and our supporters have every right to feel excited about what the future holds. Aston Villa is a huge, historic institution that is on the rise again.”

They're not usually required to cut the customers food up for them.

The bloke in charge of counting the gate receipts, I think.

Nothing on the OS so who knows.

Ian Hopson. I think he had a fairly inauspicious accountancy career, then moved to Villa as Financial Controller, and worked his way up. They possibly feel that they need somebody a bit more hard-hitting now we're part of a global group.

Goes with best wishes and all that, but he just isn't good enough for where we want to be. Could do a job for top Championship club though and I'll never forget the way he could bang those coin bags into the Barclays night safe. His replacement will decide where we're going as a club. Hopefully he can count in Spanish.

Your lack of respect for the finance function is saddening.
