"A shit member of the community" blimey how old are you? I'm expressing opinions about the club which the Gent above pretty much covered.

When we've done well I've expressed my joy like after the Brighton game last season.

I wanted us to build from that but we've gone backwards and the complete lack of communication pre-season has been poor

Backwards? Why, because Purslow got canned because of a rigged badge vote that turned out to be a total farce - propping up a re-designed old badge, flipping the lion and calling it new?

Backwards, because we just broke our transfer record to attract a player who scores in their first league match and could've made zillions in Saudi? Backwards, because we now have a real manager with a real backroom support staff? Backwards, because we brought in Heck who had the 5th largest value gain during his time with the Sixers in ALL of professional sports?

You don't like the jerseys, you don't like the prices, you don't like or trust the club - we get it. If we had gotten a draw on Saturday you wouldn't have said a peep. Nothing is "not right off the pitch", we haven't been a "mess" since Purslow left. You're clutching at straws to spread your infectious misery, you can keep it.
Don't bother mate, best not to engage with this person, you won't miss much it's essentially the same tedious post over and over.Ignore them, you'll feel better for it.

I'm surprised how many people still don't understand what the Terrace View is.  It's not a block of seats (at the moment) it's just a bar.  People who have bought Terrace View season tickets will be seated randomly around the Holte upper, so there won't be any blocks of empty seats whilst people finish their pies.
So, Chris I presume there is no entry to Terrace view without a Holte End ticket or is it offered to ticket holders in other parts of the ground before the match?
I'd say no entrance without a pass, just like any other private lounge.  It is only for people in the Holte Upper and guess access will be through the main Holte concourse.

I believe they were going to sell access on a game by game basis, but assume that would need to be pre-booked.

Believe that where the access for disablity seating is also planned

I can't believe how many posters engage with an obvious troll, as the thread title says give it the silent treatment.

Good result for FF's mob though, even if Leedzzz are on the slide.

In fairness to Tom Brady, you can understand why he'd look at that support base and think they need vitamin supplements. Vitamins, charisma, chromosomes. Where to start.

our very own Neil Oliver

This must surely be the most damning thing one poster has ever written about another on H&V. Right behind you on that, Mr Woodhall.

I said at Christmas we were crying out for a backup keeper and you mocked me-  now 99% of Villa fans recognise we need one.

Many Villa fans will moan about the poor catering service - I address that and I'm a 'moaner'

We've had no introduction or communication from the club at all pre-season since Christian left

Did you get a response from the club when you put all your concerns to them?

I think you're right, you'll find everyone on here is a big fan of Olsen.

Backup keeper, most had raised that in November so I don't think waiting until Christmas is you raising an issue and now 99% agreeing.

The catering has been a moan for multiple years and owners. Nothing real new unless you have a statement from the Away end take which would be new to most villa fans.

And what specifically do you want as communication? Your initial moan seems to be that since Purslow left, look at everything I can raise as a negative, forgetting that the majority of them was actually under Purslows remit. In theory only the back track on the badge change across the board seems to be an issue which could have been Heck coming in and going "what the hell was the other fella doing here? Most didn't want want that and we would need to spend how much changing it everywhere?". But as a club, they wouldn't air out that in public I suspect.

The idea anyone would get mocked for suggesting Olsen isn’t good enough for us.

Wow.

After this weekends reality check on the pitch, the general feeling that everything is not quite right off the pitch , we now need someone from the club to tell us what the 'heck' is going on.

Since the departure of Christian Purslow we've been all over the place, from the badge issue, pricing,terrace view fiasco and poor quality kits and just general feeling of everything being up in the air.

Only Villa could finish 7th and find themselves in European competition with a fresh new start on the horizon only to mess the whole thing up in typical fashion.

Heck hasn't introduced himself to the supporters and it seems nobody else can be bothered to tell us their thinking behind vital decisions being made at the top.

Not a thing from them before the opener

I think you need to calm down a bit.

Let's see how you all feel closer to Christmas about all things Villa. I've just got this gut feeling something isn't right behind the scenes.
