I remain convinced that we should have identified a site somewhere else and just knocked the whole bloody thing down and started again.
For the first time ever, looking at a future where it's clear they're going to try and bleed dry every last penny out of those can can actually get in, I might agree with Risso on this.

Please correct the offensive value and try again.'Reading this, I felt as though I had abseiled down the Trinity stand holding a suspicious package!How to win friends and influence people... Still no stadium-wide guide to ticket prices on the official site - unless someone knows/can advise where to find?Where do you sit? Are you in the new 1888 area (B3, b4 and a bit of B5)?

If anything they’d want more to help recoup the costs.

Sorry but what is 1888?

It's all very well them comparing us to the other top clubs in terms of prices, but they're delivering a matchday experience way behind most of them. Man City, Spurs and Arsenal are light years ahead because they're not trying to squeeze slightly better service out of decades old, badly built stands.

They're both concessionary tickets (old farts, out to graze, but have spent an eye-watering amount following Villa for 60-odd years))No idea whether there are any alternatives on offer - no general price guide on view. Shabby, in my opinion.
