Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

82nd minute walkout at the Everton game. Ties into the highest price for a season ticket holder for a CH game and the year we won it and hopefully we will have the game won by then.

Something definitely needs to happen and soon, this will be live on TV and the club won’t want their imagine being tarnished for millions to see and it’s already took a bashing today.

These home CL games felt like a justification and reward for following Villa home and away through all those shit seasons. I was in Rotterdam on 82 and genuinely never thought I would see Villa in the Champions League in my life time. The ticket pricing is shameful and  feel sickened by how the club have just stuck up two fingers to every loyal Villa fan.

[Toronto Villa]

The club are rightly getting slaughtered for this. I get that our ground only holds 41k and a portion of that will be capped for away fans. But these prices are outrageous. It’s one thing setting a premium. But not to this extent.

Can’t really argue with that.

[Des Little]

I can afford it, but I’m not going on principle. This makes the club appear morally bankrupt, and it’s not a good look.

Agree Des

Get a load of 'Chris Heck, what a wanker' chants on the go.

Can’t let Sawiris and Edens get away with it. They’re fully behind this too.

Thats a ridiculous idea sorry but after everything these owners have done? Im not supporting that.

They saved our club from going bankrupt

What would be ridiculous is allowing them to do whatever they like to us. Saving the club doesn’t give them carte blanche to do the fans off.

If you’re unhappy with Heck, you have to be unhappy with them on this too.

I’m really grateful to them, but they are taking the piss out of every one of us.

Running multi million/billion businesses across the globe I would be surprised if the owners keep a close watch on ticket prices for a small part of their empires.

[VillaTim]

Time to boycott

Yeah it's definitely time to boycott the Advisory Board.

Protests are needed now though like when Doug was in charge. It also needs to happen in the next game whilst things are fresh in the news, The Everton game is live on Sky maybe if we all turn our backs to the pitch it might get attention?

Better still nobody go. Leave the stadium empty

[Des Little]

I always thought other clubs (mainly London) pull this kind of stunt on their fans. Not Aston Villa. Yet here we are.

Then I’d expect Heck will be sacked as soon as they find out about him doing such an awful thing to their “customers”.

Bit much to ask the Witton Lane stand to stay that late into a game.

Maybe a dirty protest , piss all over the place in the Gents , oh wait...

But this is the brutal reality of where football has been going these last 20 or so years. Players and agents demanding obscene amounts of money, financial rules made to protect closed shop cartels and when we finally get a brilliant manager who achieved what we all dreamed of the reality is it has to be paid for...by us.

I believe the statement that we had to sell Luiz not because the owners needed the money but in order to meet the stupid PSR rules. Now the only way to stay at the top table is to increase revenue and that includes squeezing fans for as much as possible.

By all means chant heck out, turn on the owners but it's a bigger problem in my view. Greedy players and a corrupt set of financial rules have a big part in this. Rage against the machine, system whatever you want to call it.
