Season Tickets

[Mister E]

There is a lot of things at Villa that we have got right I think
Owners, manager, a lot of the players we can be proud of rather than embarrassed, backroom staff also look pretty professional, ground improvement plans look good, and generally the vision going forward is positive
But there is also stuff that is still shite
Dealing with the ticket office on the website is just torturous, and the Villa app is rubbish and I’m not user friendly I’d sack anyone who had anything to do with that

The music played at matches at 100 million dB and is turned on as soon as the final whistle blows with shit songs is just bloody annoying and sucks the atmosphere straight out of the ground he/she that does that needs sacking asap
The Wi-Fi in the ground is shockingly bad well it’s non-existent. This might not be anything to do with Villa but I’m gonna moan about it anyway and all the Wi-Fi people need sacking
Anyone who had anything to do with that Terrace been built in the middle of the middle of the Holte needs sacking
Whoever decided we aren’t grown up enough to watch the sky build up or any of the matches including the actual Villa game on the concourse When you’re waiting before the match starts or popping off to the toilet, they all need sacking
whoever organises the trains leaving Aston or Witton half full after games,
They all need sacking

That’s it for now, but I can probably think of more

Top ranting - and I agree with all of it,

Add the Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train to above.

Weirdly, I actually like that
I think only Birmingham bands music should be played before games or maybe a little wider out if they have a connection to the Villa

I agree.

[VillaTim]

I wonder if Where it Lands will be back this season.

People moan about 'the wifi' but do they realise they're not talking about 'the wifi' but their mobile network data coverage?

Unless you're connecting to a Villa wifi network when you get to the ground, you're talking about the mobile data bandwidth at the ground, as provided by the mobile networks.

The reason it is shit is because, in an area where - say, on a normal week day - there might be 1,000 in radius of the mast in question, which works well, on match day there are 45,000 odd, and the bandwidth can not cope.

So it's fuck all to do with the club if it doesn't work very well, it is ALL on the mobile networks and nowt to do with 'wifi people'.

Would that mean the local residents wifi goes down when villa are at home ?

Would that mean the local residents wifi goes down when villa are at home ?

No, it has absolutely nothing to do with Wifi.

It means that, if they are trying to use their phone mobile data connection, and sharing the same masts as the 42000 people next door to them for 90 minutes, they'll suffer the same problem.

Mobile networks are not designed for tens of thousands of people within a space a bit larger than a football pitch plus stands.

This is like any one of the 1000 times I've explained to my 83 year old father the difference between hard drive storage and RAM.

[Percy McCarthy]

Will all be fingerprint access soon. Or some other digital crap where they can restrict the less fortunate

It won't be.  But even so, how would this be any more restrictive to the less fortunate?  Unless you're talking about people with no figures, which is a very niche part of society to be white knighting for.

Even my mate who hasn’t got many fingers has got some fingers. Me, another mate and him were taking shelter from a helluva storm once at work, and arguing over who should run to the coffee machine.

“We’ll play rock, paper, scissors to decide” I said, and off he trudged, like Captain Oates.

True story.

Hopefully they can connect their phones to their wifi if that’s an issue at home.
