I think there’d be uproar if it gets to double figures again.

Are we still talking about watching England at the cricket?

Very good.

Edit: I'm an England cricket fan, just to clarify.

(I remember a joke I enjoyed about the England football team a few years ago that was greeted with nothing but 'better than Ireland' responses.)

Hi Frank, I have PM’d you back as I did after Chelsea as well, hopefully they are getting through? But thanks for your messages

"If you don't want it there's thirty thousand who do..."

Surely they can't use that again after what he said about the reasons the North Stand got cancelled.... sorry Paused.

They can use that until such time as the waiting list isn’t there or all those who genuinely want to buy a ticket have one.

This is why this decision is so damn frustrating. In my life Villa have had higher capacity crowds than our present capacity yet never have we had such consistently high attendances across multiple seasons as we have had under these owners. Never has their been a stronger case for redevelopment and they are pissing it away and very likely to actually drive fans away with extortionate price hikes.

Every time we are on the cusp of something really big we take a decision that undermines it and the NS cancellation has really sent a shiver up my spine for that reason

[VillaTim]

In line with the rate of inflation falling i am envisaging ST increases of circa 4-6% on average though some of the cheapest areas may see 7-10%.
What i would expect is more normal seated areas converted to either Full Corporate or what i'd describe as Corporate Lite .

Martin McGuinness was a big fan of the England cricket team, too, weirdly.

[Richard E]

Probably watched them at lot at Lords while meeting his MI5 handler.

I was thinking the same. Cancelling it sent out all the wrong vibes at precisely the wrong time. It could even lead to the list shrinking with people thinking fuck it I'm never going to get a season ticket.

[Lastfootstamper]

Can you leave the list? You don't ever have to renew interest, afaik, speaking as the father of someone number 19,000-odd.

Agreed. I’m expecting a Dear John letter any time soon regarding my seat in A5.
