[London Villan]

42386 tickets sold… apparently.

They don’t want season ticket holders. Well that’s not true, maybe they want season ticket holders who’ll buy a shirt, programme, burger and five pints every single home game. Our Chris will just keep turning up the heat until we manage to meet this target, by which time many of us will have long since failed the affluence test.

Lots of empty seats today , maybe the weather didn't help mind .

More than 40k there today yet again.

Don’t worry, he’s obsessed with our attendances / ticket sales.

I thought VT was a season ticket holder. Although he does seem to be on the match thread more then most. Maybe he always has a good 5g signal.

Why are they advertising half season season tickets on the flash up screens around the ground
I thought they weren’t selling any new ST’s

I think that’s for the Villa women’s team.

I managed to blag a ride in the lift in the Witton Lane for a 97 year old. We walked through all the hospitality areas which looked full!

Ok fair enough
I thought there’d be a reasonable explanation that I’d overlooked

…or maybe it’s ’cos of all those empty seats, he can get a signal.

Busiest I have seen it this season in my 5 visits. Includes Juve and Arse.

I am a ST holder who for various reasons cannot get there most weeks so I sell back to the club when possible .
There were lots of empties in the trinity lower today which is unusual. Maybe it was people just not turning up due to the weather warnings .

[Exeter 77]

I think Bardell met that man that night and flagged it on Twitter. Don't know if the club acted on it though.

I'm not sure if it's the same bloke but it could be. He definitely told me he hadn't had anything back from the club.

[Dante Lavelli]

Pretty full today.  Lots to moan about but I don’t think its fair to say there were loads of empty seats on this occasion.

Hence my comment about the change in direction. We went from planning to spend a shit ton of money making the ground bigger to cater to demand that has been there since 2018 to actually spending a shit ton of money just gentrifying the existing ground there since 2001 and pissing off a lot of people with price hikes.

Plain as day what the change has been. They are after a different clientele rather than  a bigger arena for the existing match-going crowd.It leaves a sour taste
