That’s an expensive pint!

It says you get 2 'free' pints included so I guess that's £11 off the £25 but even so!

The free programme would make it more like £15 off, assuming you normally buy one.
Lol, still looks a ripoff though. Unless the beer is markedly better than the can badly poured into plastic cup experience I’m used to.

Sounds like holte end season ticket holders might be moved to accommodate this new ‘offer’ from the club. Probably holds a couple of hundred?

No it's downstairs. Website says it will hold 1,000. Good luck trying to find 1,000 people thick or rich enough to pay that price

Not according to the main picture, the outside area will be between the sets of steps which would make it above the Holte Suite wouldn't it? Also makes reference to being available to upper Holte ST holders.

I would imagine they are working on monetisation of the Holte Suite next.

It's in the downstairs concourse of the upper Holte.

It's not a bad idea in itself but ridiculously overpriced.

Jeez this is a terrible idea.

I'm sure when I filled in that survey I basically said I wanted to be able to have a piss and get a pint before they turn the lights off  for the night.
That video seems to show that they have taken your request into consideration: the virtual 'fans' appear to be getting a pint at the "Holte Ender" while othes are having a piss at the "Holte Tap". It's a bit like the cheaper bits of the Munich Beer Festival.

One thing is for sure they haven't developed this since the survey.  The survey was engineered to get people to say they were interested to hear about GA+ tickets before they even knew what GA+ meant.  This was happening whatever the survey said.

and watching the walkthrough, that's what the place should look like anyway for all fans, not having to pay £500 for the pleasure of getting a twatting pint and somewhere remotely acceptable to drink it.

And for the less gullible, we'll be shoehorned into the top tier I presume?  Which is packed as it is so with double the number of us peasants up there is going to be a pretty shite experience.  But at least there's a chicken shop that sells 3 pieces of fried chicken for fucking £12, if you can be arsed to queue for the whole of half time and miss the second half ko.

Just sell me a pie and a pint you twats, and save this bullshit for the prawn sandwiches elsewhere in the ground.

FFS.

I'd be grateful if someone can forward this on to Purslow for me.  Cheers.

This idea will flop & the area will become another match day corporate club within 5 years .

They already know this .
Oh well we tried but you didn't back it

Dunno about the home end but the away end was fine, lots of room, bit of a que for a pint and hot dog for my lad. Prices were over priced, but to be honest in a similar range to Villa. Beer was from memory beavertown or Camden pale ale, much better than the Heineken shite down the Villa, self poured as well, which is better than shitely poured.

This whole think fooking stinks and along with the extortionate season ticket hike, puts a dampener on whats been a brilliant few months.

Seeing this has made me less enthusiastic for Villa Live. How much will that be to get in?

Excellent idea and I think Club are being very generous to charge only £480 to access this superb exclusive facility. I have put my name down for it and here is hoping it will keep the riffraff out allowing some of us decent supporters a relaxed space from where we can wave at Mr Purslow.
