Toss a coin

All I know is I can't stand Fat Frank so I'm hoping for the best.

Uh oh, there’s been the traditional ’good response’ in training this week. 0-3 then.

Surprisingly, my season ticket realise still hasn’t sold. I’d have thought that would have been snapped up my now.

Ha! It's the 'we go again' kiss of death I fear.

Worst pre-match presser ever. "How important is it to bounce-back?" How good would it be if Villa Park was a fortress?" "You and Lamps, must bring back memories of playing together?"
"Yeah but how good has Leon Bailey looked in pre-season?"    Just fcuk right off and ask searching questions that aren't leading or lazy...

It's a scam.Happened to me several times last season

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think we will actually turn up this week and beat Everton

Maybe 35 degree temperatures and a rail strike is putting off people who have not already committed to goin.

The club sell there own before selling those of season pass holders,happened to me also.
There were seats in upper Trinity unsold so my in demand Holte End seat was not put for sale because there were empty seats in the Trinity/Doug upper . It's a disgrace but no surprise with how we operate now

[Skerra]

All the omens look hunky dory. Playing at home, training has gone really well. The players want to show what they’re really capable of. Everton don’t have any strikers…
Obviously, result will be 1-1 at best, bearing in mind that Bournemouth were woefully short of players etc.

It's not really though, is it? You could have a situation where 'fans' take advantage and snap up season tickets just to get tickets for the 'big' matches, but resell the less glamourous fixtures (*as is the case with a large portion of the Villa away fans who have pretty much created a closed shop by doing so!).

It's in the club's best interests to maximise matchday revenue - They're not going achieve that if they prioritise reselling season tickets over empty seats.

Personally, I think it's great that they even give fans the option of reselling individual matches from a season ticket. Fans know the risk of not being able to attend games when they put their money down - It's the price you have to pay for being guaranteed a seat to every game imo (*not inc. last minute fixture changes, which ARE a bit shit!).

Love the positivity but worry we are falling into the same trap we did last weekend. Everton played pretty well considering injuries / opposition last weekend, and will be boosted by signings this week - got a feeling they will bully us (they are bigger than us), with 5 at the back will let us have possession but challenge us to create (which we woefully failed at last weekend), and will look to get goals from set pieces (again a perennial problem for us). And the weather will suit them more than us - we have to take the initiative and speed up the play.

It will be a tight game - maybe one goal - I fear for us because our lack of creativity, physicality, and pace  have been fundamental problems for some time now.

I agree with that completely.  Just to add, I was really pleasantly surprised last season when the day before a game (v Watford) the ticket office refunded me the money I'd paid for a ticket, as a train strike prevented me (or at least very much deterred me) from travelling.

There was talk not long ago of outsourcing resales to a firm that were basically glorified touts.
