Love how people come out with the faux outrage when it gets called out. We ridicule other clubs on here for precisely the same thing that happens at Villa Park every home game. Its 5-10 minutes..... and the traffic excuse is bollocks too. It's ALWAYS been as bad as it is now.

The players must think 'Are we REALLY that bad?!', when they look around the stadium with 10-15 minutes to go and it's literally half empty.

It will be the same tomorrow night, but can already see the excuses of 'Monday night', 'kids at school in the morning' - Which is going to be pretty shite for the squad's post match lap of honour after the monumental season they've given us.

10-15 minutes to go and it’s literally half empty? I don’t think so. Yes there are occasions when the game is beyond us and it thins out considerably but that happens at all grounds when a clear defeat is looming. It’s the first couple of years in my long stretch of watching Villa when the ground is full or close too, that’s bound to impact on traffic. I do stay to the bitter end apart from once or twice when I use the train, then I do leave early because aston station going north is really busy and you might be in for a mighty long wait.

I suspect that with prices not announced so far there may be an unpalatable link with Champions League games?  So waiting for confirmation of that before they tell us the damage,

Heck suggested a 5% increase in his AVTV interview this week.

Beating the horrendous problems getting away from the ground, surely that’s a reason everyone gets.

I think its more that the lower Witton basically evacuates like they've got first dibs on lifeboat. Others drift away, the lower Witton streams out on 80 minutes regardless. As others have said, its their money, but it's still weird behaviour.

When I first started going I thought it odd when towards the end of the game a group of blokes by me at the back of the Holte all cleared off. I got the answer a few minutes later when they all appeared on the Witton and steamed into the away fans. I’m sure it’s the same reason why they’re all leaving early nowadays.
Only if we're playing QPR  .

900 ST holders displaced, is that was what was expected? For some reason I was thinking there would be fewer than that.

5% is as good as can be expected and I'm glad that over 65's still have concessions.  Unless they are to announce separately.
