Some of the staff in the pictures look as if they enjoy being behind bars.

Anyone seen anything about the 150 Club, and The Aston and Villans areas?
This is starting to sound like Yanited who manage to sell some of the worst seats in the ground off as corporate lite, tempting lanyard collectors . Clever.

We need all kinds of different supporters and followers of the club. Whether more traditional fans like this or not there is a market for it. And as we hopefully become more successful and with it popular the everyday fan that has their place in traditional seating will be joined by the casual supporter and larger groups of corporate attendees. In time Villa Park will be expanded. For us to compete regularly at the top end financially we will need to extend our demographic locally and globally.

Wouldn't you, all you can drink for £150 a game?

Edit: The Cells. Already been posted.

Anyway, I think it’s disgusting that some of our most loyal hooligans have had their facilities withdrawn to accommodate corporate wankers.

Cheers.

For a multicultural city, we don’t seem to have many non-white CGI patrons!

While I can understand the need for increased revenue, the shoehorning of GA+ into various, possibly underused, areas of the ground is quite amusing really and I don't think I was that far off the mark yesterday. They need a bit more imagination with some of the names though...

The cells isn't an all inclusive package , drinks cost extra. It's basically just somewhere inside you can go and spend money before and after the game.

I thought The Cells was quite good, but then they haven’t really used the history much in the marketing. You’d think they would have painted a nice picture of the history.

Might have attracted wolves, though.

"Will I remain on the general admission season ticket waiting list once I have purchased a GA Plus season ticket?

No, once you become a GA Plus season ticket holder, you will no longer be on the season ticket waiting list."

Ah, so it's a waiting list skipping arrangement, as long as you don't mind being in the lower North Stand?

Not a bad tactic to skip the queue. Presumably they’ll know it down soon so you can relocate at that point.
