Aston Villa vs Dogheads pre match - Wednesday, Jan 4th - 8pm

[Pat Mustard]

Why is it when I point the facts out I get labeled a nose. I think those sensible posters on here realise I've got a lot right regarding my predictions and fan concerns regarding catering,treatment of supporters and the club driving out the working class (not just a Villa problem) . 

The 25 quid a ticket pie eaters are no longer valued by the Football Club they want a family of four spending £200 in the club store per match and enjoying an expensive day out.

We should be having a packed out Villa Park tomorrow night with fair pricing and a fantastic atmosphere.

The 'new' supporters could easily be lost if we have another stint in the championship

We need to look after ALL of out supporters and tomorrow should have been priced differently and we need some honesty on the 20,000

The club have set a price structure for different categories of fixture.  I think they are wrong on a couple of instances for this particular game in that firstly I don't think Wolves should be counted as premium opposition that would attract more casual supporters, and also the club should recognise other factors in determining the category - in this case it being a midweek evening fixture coming just after Christmas and New Year, on top of which there is the significant complication of a rail strike.

This idea you have that the waiting list is a myth is what pisses people off more than anything.  Of that 20K, around 10K have almost certainly bought tickets for tomorrow already.  I'm a ST holder, but my wife and daughter have been on the list for well over 2 years and are still around 10K from the top - even with the new stand I very much doubt we will get the STs we want immediately. 

Unless the Premier League introduce a mandatory pricing structure that guarantees all clubs have to sell a percentage of their tickets below a certain price level then there is no way Villa could, or should, reduce the ticket prices to a below market level.  Unfortunately, because of FFP clubs need to maximise revenue in order to allow them to remain competitive, hence the current ticket prices and building of a new stand that is about maximising corporate revenue as much as increasing capacity.  If we don't then we may as well resign ourselves to forever being a selling club who have to give up players we have developed as soon as the like of Man City come calling, making further stints in the Championship a much more realistic possibility.

Of course you might be happy floating around the bottom end of the league awaiting inevitable relegation so that you can get your £20 tickets and a pie, but it doesn't strike me that would satisfy you either.

Attending the match tomorrow is a fucking pain in the arse when the game was originally scheduled for yesterday afternoon when I had the day off but we are in the clutches of TV so have no choice but to put up with it or not go.

To be honest I'm amazed we've sold that many tickets and would imagine most of those went before the date change.

There was a message earlier about the ticket line being down or something so that won't help any last minute purchases. We should've put a call in to the Sty, they must have loads of issues selling tickets looking at the alledged demand against the actual attendances.

I seem to recall that when the PL sold out to sky, one of the main benefits to fans would be lower ticket prices to compensate for being messed about regarding KO times etc..wonder what happened to that idea?

Is this game on TV ?

I think Wolves will come for a draw , even though they need 3 points.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm pretty sure wolves these days play (hope) for a draw wherever they are.

No
I guess it got moved because of the Spurs Game.

[FrankyH]

Thanks, 8pm to compensate for the train strike ?

This is one of those games that see us near to turning that seemingly neverending corner.  3points tonight and a couple of decent signings and I will be looking up.  3-1 to The Villa and the dawn of a bright new era please.

Tonight?

Yeah the xmas break and the perils of living in the countryside means I have lost all reasonable track of what the effin day actually is!!  Lucky I hadn't set off yet, isn't it?

Tonight?

To be fair, it's that time of year where I haven't got a fucking clue what day it is.

As opposed to the last two matches, this is one we will be expecting to win. Big chance to build a winning run these next few weeks. So we'll probably lose.

I hope not. Thanks to Twitter, I've come to loathe Wolves fans.

You don't, perhaps, think the two things are related do you?
