New match day pricing proves again they are driving out the working person and families.
We won't sell out all matches like we didn't last season.

The club have lost sight of reality and I'm disgusted to be honest .

No wonder the country is in a mess if there is only a working person, what are the rest doing?

Mock me all you want I know what I stand for and know what's happening . Purslow is out of touch with the workers and families of our fan base , he is typical of the elitists we have running the country and the world. There's a reason they had to get Corbyn out because he was too close to the truth

For the many not the few

I think he was basing it on about 10 tickets that were available for the Man City game about 3 days before and he's used this as his crux of the argument ever since.

If our tickets were more extra expensive than the other clubs you’d have a point. The problem is the whole system and Purslow is only doing what every other CEO is doing so it is unfair to single him out. Football is still primarily attended by what you outdatedly call the working classes who accept and participate in this mad and immoral thing football has become, aggrieved to be paying over the odds but not seeing the obscenity of the money involved at every level from owners to media to agents to players. A few quid on a ticket is fuck all given the big picture.

As someone who grew up on a council estate, is a Labour Party member and socialist, my view is that the world has moved on since the three tier class system. Some in Labour’s failure to accept a shade of nuance is not helpful. We live in a high tech society that is nothing like my childhood. My council estate emptied of working class people and filled with Thatcher’s dispossessed and left behind. Traditional working class jobs have all but disappeared. The issue in football is the obscene exploitation of the game across the world, which itself is only a symptom of a developed world where people see no moral ambiguity in buying cheap stuff from China, a monstrously despotic and dangerous regime undermining British industry. These goods are sold via companies that avoid tax and treat their employees like shit. While Amazon don’t pay the taxes that should be funding our public services, Bezos has so much money he is able to fly into fucking space. The ‘working class’ is wholly complicit in all of this because there is no political leadership anywhere in the world to convince them they are acting against their own interests.  Peddling 1980’s policies in 2022 is failing to address the real issues and allowing the Bezos/Musk übercapitalists and Tory elitists to get away with it.

What false advertising is this?!

The cheapest way for Villa supporters to watch all three fixtures on the club’s pre-season tour of Australia is with a VillaTV match pack – available now!

Villa fans can pick up a match pack now for our three tour fixtures against Leeds United, Brisbane Roar and Manchester United for £17.99.


3 matches at £5.99 is £17.97! Never mind the season tickets for the proletariat scandal Flinstone, get on this 3p blatant ripping off of the fans! Purslow out!!!111

I agree with most of that

I'd just hope that we were a little in touch with our community and fans and didn't feel the need to charge £59 for a child to attend a Football match.


As for the VillaTV garbage , at least let Season Card Holders/members or infarct anyone watch for free

They're trying to get every last penny out of us and it's a disgrace!

Well, you are a little selective with your facts… Zone 1 is the premium zone and the smallest in total. The vast majority of children will be watching for less than half that at the most.

You're not really standing for anything if your principled idea of showing solidarity with the affected is to renew anyway. You've become part of your own problem.
