Was it packed?

[cdbearsfan]

I hope not. Very disappointing, if so.

[VillaTim]

It's tonight . 40-50,000 I'd estimate .

[Percy McCarthy]

Foo Fighters innit

Yes. Shame they can’t seem to organise it for Villa games.

Do the concert promoters pay the rail company to put more trains on ?

Yes. Shame they can’t seem to organise it for Villa games.

It's not really comparable though, this is a 1 time event that was set to a time and date over a year ago and will have been possible for the transport companies to schedule around. In the league games are often shifted to a different slot with far less notice than that and for cup games it's rarely more than a few weeks. That's not to say we shouldn't demand better though.

I don’t think it should be beyond the realms of a man

Is it just about money ?? Morals or common sense I assume are irrelevant

Did Grohl mention the Villa? He could have quipped that he's in nirvana again.

Geezer butlers turned up at VP and they played Paranoid

I'm stood outside Aston station waiting for my daughter to come our of the concert. 45 minutes after the concert nor one train has arrived to take people into Birmingham. It's getting tetchy and rightly so. Who the fuck is supposed to be organising things? Chris Heck could you please stop obsessing about corporate revenue and have a look at what the average punter is being subjected to when they visit Villa Park?

I don’t mind the Foo Fighters. They are inoffensive, and Everlong is a great song.

I went to Springsteen at VP in 88 and sat in the upper Trinity which wasn’t too bad, but looking at some video on twitter of tonight and I am struggling to think of a worse gig experience than sitting in the Upper Holte watching someone play in front of the North Stand

How shit must the acoustics be?

I say this every time - the club know transport's shite but they can't magic trains out of thin air or hold a gun to the head of Network Rail.

Is it all about money ? Percey earlier said extra trains had been organised but it sounds like they aren't there !
