Fan Advisory Board

[dave.woodhall]

There's a meeting soon. What should we be asking about?

[exigo]

When's the Terrace View being bulldozed?

[exigo]

Is it true that we turned down a larger allocation in Edinburgh? Why don't they want the maximum number of Villa fans to back the team in Europe?

[London Villan]

An amnesty to sort the season ticket owners out before the implementation of the 1984-esq state control and punishment.

And why are chips £4.50.

[Mister E]

Turn the f**king tannoy down!

[East Anglian Villan]

v Everton the PA System was too loud. Last night v Hibs you couldn't hear it....other stadiums around the country do MUCH better than we do regarding this.
Villa haven't had it right in years.
Also - and I'm not particularly fussed about this (plenty of others are though) - my phone simply stops working when I enter Villa Park - no internet or incoming calls. I quite like the peace but others I know would like to get online...

Could you ask them why they feel advertising the Terrace View, above overflowing urinals pre-game, is a good idea.

[LeeB]

When's the Terrace View being bulldozed?

Ask if they actually bothered to read the fans surveys, and if they intend to do anything about the poor facillities and services everywhere in the ground, or was it just an excercise carried out to try and justify building that white elephant.

[Villan82]

Why did they so spectacularly cock up the badge situation leaving us with a confusing identity for our first European campaign in 13 years? And why was the comms so poor on this?

[Nev]

What have you started Dave??

As well as the above:

The future of the Holte Suite, the communication regarding the future of the Holte Suite, the possibility of refunds for ST holders due to the unavailability of the HS currently and moving forward, the maintenance and cleaning schedule for the Holte End that appears to have been abandoned and clarification regarding any future hospitality areas in the Holte End.

Obviously there will be whinges about the Terrace View.

The key point for me is that they don't seem to have given the slightest bit of thought to the reduced facilities for the remaining 80%.

To be more constructive - can we please specifically ask if they can
1. Increase the number of urinals in the existing w/cs.  It seems to me there ought to be plenty of space in the toilets in the wings on the lower concourse with a bit of reconfiguration.
2. Create extra bars.  There seems to be space either side f the curry stand in the upper concourse.
3. Introduce fast pour systems to mitigate some of the extra demand on the remaining bars.

The first two should be pretty cheap in the context of the overall costs of the Terrace View development.

Turn the f**king tannoy down!

It was much quieter in the Holte upper last night

[FrankyH]

Stop the propaganda " After consulting supporters"  we are going to charge you shit loads more. Trying to spin fleecing fans out of every penny as something we all asked for insulting our intelligence.

[Drummond]

What's the thought process and timeline for reviewing the badge/crest?
Are there plans afoot to celebrate our 150th anniversary?

[chrisw1]

What is their opinion of the Castore playing shirts?  It seems clear that they're not fit for purpose.
