Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

The only way forward is a new stadium, and if that is their intentions then it's been an absolute masterclass by Heck as the 'match day experience' has become so awful I'm fully behind the idea.

I'm no fan of Heck - or how fans have been treated and now we are having this blip I can see it impacting ticket sales. But I can understand why a pause would have happened this season. I also think things are happening in the background regarding a move away from the stadium - which is also a reason for the hold-up.

However... It's been a funny 12 months - the day of the Sheff Utd game last season when we could have gone top was the day he announced we'd bottled the expansion - it was the day we blinked as a club and got dizzy at the progress.

His job is about to become a lot harder. He can't piggy back Emery's success as we aren't going to be anywhere near the top 6 this season. We've won 5 out of 15 at home this year and people aren't going to continue to be treated like shit and pay £60+ quid for the privilege.

The man is a prick and needs bringing down a notch.

I have said a variation of this. It just raised a lot of question marks and him waffling on about our home advantage put a lot of pressure on us to sustain the unbeaten home form. And our home from has fallen off a cliff since that day.

I really hope we aren't looking back at that villa tv interview in years to come as a big moment for the club on and off the field.

On the day, it struck me as the kind of intervention you wouldn't see at one of the other top 8 clubs.

[London Villan]

It was the week to announce we had arrived both on and off the pitch... and we were going to compete.

We got scared and have been average on the pitch and abysmal off the pitch since then.

I've said before, but this year is my last with a season ticket. I'm not bothering to go tomorrow or at the weekend, and will just let my mate use my tickets instead. The main reason is that I've just got other things I'd rather do with my life, but also for the money charged the experience is absolutely miserable. If this bad run continues and we finish mid table or lower, I'm fascinated to see what Heck has got up his sleeve, as all his chickens will come home to roost at once.

You'd create a supply issue and lock in artificially or otherwise, the significantly higher revenue from this season. Assuming we'd finish mid-table or lower, which we absolutely won't.

Glory Hunter!

There wasn't much glory on offer when I was getting a 6am ferry to drive over to see us smashed 3-0 by Wigan in the Championship to be honest!

I don’t think Risso could have experienced early 1970s football!

Cold nights in Doncaster, Bradford and games iWigan and Bolton are not part of my favourite memories either. Bolton I did meet Brian Green though. Come to think of it, not seen him on here for a while.

That Bolton game under Bruce. Yikes. Sure it was March, only one I can ever recall a blizzard taking place.

[Meanwood Villa]

The sun had been shining in Manchester earlier that day too. We got a taxi to the ground because the trains were fucked. A welcome respite after the blizzard.

I haven't seen Brian for about 4 years. He posts very infrequently on Facebook, the last time being last month, so I assume he's OK. He must be about 129 by now! (only joking if you're reading Brian).
