Season Tickets

[dave.woodhall]

I've never been in the 1874 lounge.  What is it like, where is it accessed from and how much is it?  Is it open at half time too?

I was just wondering how it compares to the Terrace View and given the limited take up if that is more what the TV will become in the future.  Or will it go the other way and will they upscale the 1874 and chuck some padded seats into the Witton?

is that the old Lions Club in the Witton ? i used to go in there pre KO and at HT . was decent for a pie and a pint

Probably.

I would have thought a better use for any spare space at all in the witton would have been to provide some additional toilets and maybe another catering outlet to try and get it a bit closer to minimum standard than the current corridor shitshow.  I appreciate that doesn't really increase revenue though.

Its kind of located in a weird place though halfway up between the lower and upper tier. So from the upper tier you go down 2 flights of stairs to get to the door. I can see them making it a corporate lounge soon and seats upgraded in the central blocks to go with it.

Yes looking at it the new price is £15 a game (no free pints) so broadly the same as the terrace view at £25.00 if you account for the beer.  £15 quid for the chance to actually be able to buy a drink and go to the toilet when you've already paid nearly £800 for a season ticket or £50-£60 for a match ticket.  Modern football eh?

I tend to switch to the Witton Upper if I'm taking a friend / family as I can never get anything in the Holte.  But no chance of getting a drink or getting into the loo at half time.  The concourse is beyond a joke.  I'd love to get Hecks in there at half time during a game and ask him what he thinks of it. 

It's like when the ticket woman said at an SCG meeting that she'd been in the North Stand and the view was as good as the Holte.

"For a game?"

"Er, no. I'll have to go in there one day."

Letter no 'pack' what a joke.
Multiple badges, and can't even get a pack right. Complete mess. Who's runs this crap?

I'm intrigued to know your age Fred.... I imagine you as some kind of Brummie Victor Meldrew, the kind of bloke who puts a knife through footballs kicked over the fence by the neighbours' kids.

You really need to take a deep breath sometimes before you go near that keyboard, geezus! 🙄

I sit Witton Upper , i've given up with the concourse. I went down last season early on game on about the 40 min mark to get a drink and a pie . The 2nd half had kicked off by the time i got served.

The thing is , nobody needs to eat or drink in the space of 90 minutes but we aren't living (or certainly paying )in the 1970s) A nice pie and pint / coffee is part of the day out for many and with what we charge for entry now you should be getting a solid service. Everything should be up to date and modern. You should not need to pay for this , it should be as standard

That’s a disgrace. If your parents had sex 10 years later you’d still be in your thirties.

This world has gone to the hell in a handcart.

It probably took my father 10 years , my mother is from Finland , they are hard work

Just had the Duke of Cambridge drop round my season ticket; has everyone else received an embroidered half/half Villa/Windsor scarf?

Its better in the Holte since some of the innovations

I've had mine delivered on the Gold State Coach, flanked by Yeomen of the Guard. It was handed over on a silver tray by a postillion, and I don't even have a season ticket.

How many fanzines did you manage to sell?

[Lastfootstamper]

I've no idea who dropped mine off, the (very replaceable) butler didn't make a note of them.

Bob Warman, Gary Newbon and Spit the Dog are dropping mine round tomorrow

Warman won’t be there.

He’ll be out at his static round Oswestry way.

He described our  local curry house as "the raj of rajas" he's quoted on the menu . Alongside a picture of Andy Gray who went there too (the Scottish one)
