Villa Park Redevelopment

[Bad English]

I've just seen a photo of the Fan zone. Have they transported the Hunter's Moon to Villa Park brick by brick?

[dalians umbrella]

I didn't like it. Just too distracting when those screens are flashing adverts and based on yesterday, on a night game it will be worse.

Agreed. Every other minute Villa Park was lit up in bright red. There was Betano and Trade Nation. If they have to be that bright, at least make them claret.

Exactly what we said. That bright red and white was definitely Arsenal-esque.

Full night game that red is going to be horrible. From the trinity it was blinding when it came on, horrid. Make it claret and blue ffs, especially the betano one.

It was blinding from the DE too. Given those logos are orange for the post-match interview boards, I don’t understand why they have to be bright red; and given they are white on claret   And blue on the shirts, I think your claret and blue suggestion is the sensible option to stop villa park feeling like the emirates

Will 'expired' ST passes still work if you 'unhide' them, or do we need to redownload the ST from the App for every match?  This seems like a big flaw to me.

[London Villan]

I've just had to unhide mine.

My season ticket expired the morning of the last game last season. I unhid it and it got me in.

Great, that's easy enough.  But you can see why people don't know wtf is going on when they get to the turnstile and their pass has disappeared.

Fucks sake that sounds complicated. Might have to bring the missus to the turnstile with us for the Bayern game. Unless the kids think they can handle it.

I think the expired ST issue is related to the way it’s downloaded initially.
If you download you ST from the app and add it to your wallet, it doesn’t disappear, whereas if you do it from the original email, it does disappear after each game.

Or the other way round.

Sorry.

[chrisw1]

I dunno about that.  First time I downloaded from the e-mail.  Second game I deleted it and downloaded it from the app.  It's disappeared both times.

@Percy, you can check your Apple wallet now to see if the pass has 'expired' (mine had) and if it has then click view expired passes and 'unhide' it, you don't need to wait until game day or the turnstile.

[Dave P]

This prompted me to check and mine had disappeared.  Unhid it and all good.

[Risso]

I just deleted mine and downloaded it again. Not a major thing, but surely we shouldn't have to do that?

Yes, but that's Leeds.

Meanwhile Chris Heck walks around Villa Park trying to see if he can cram in a few extra seats by rearranging the steps to the exits.

And then doesn't sell about a 1000 of the ones he already has.
