Aston Villa v HŠK Zrinjski Mostar Pre-Match Thread

[AV84]

Yes Moreno is a huge worry. Chrisene looked very good when we won the Youth Cup but he's hardly been seen since.

Think Chrisene had an injury for most of last season.

That would explain only 13 appearances on a season long loan. Tore his medial ligament in January apparently.

Tickets have sold pretty well for this.

Suspiciously well, considering how many thousands were left last night and even this morning. Wreaked havoc with my guess the crowd.

1466 left at present, so we've shifted c.6k since the weekend.

6-1 wins will do that

A friend travelling up from Essex has asked if the Villa Tavern pub do any food as they have booked a parking place close by. I have no idea as never been there so can anyone on here help with this info?

I don't think they do anything substantial foodwise.

And they only went on kind of general sale yesterday afternoon.

Nothing changed yesterday afternoon!

What exactly do you think is happening? The club is lying? Or a load of Bosnians have done a Hibs on it?

[Lastfootstamper]

What changed? The criteria now is exactly the same as it was last Thursday, anybody with any kind of record of going to a game ever could get one. I have no idea what's spurred on the overnight and early morning mad rush on tickets, but it wasn't a change of criteria.

[Lastfootstamper]

At least not one that's been made public. If it's one left to hearsay and rumour, that's one hell of a grapevine!

I couldn't click to buy tickets before yesterday afternoon. There was no option for it on the tickets page. Yesterday afternoon a button to buy tickets appeared. You still had to have a digital media account and a fan id, which it told you how to register for if you didn't have one. I assumed that meant they were available to a wider audience than they had been, if not quite general sale .

Should be on GS.

There is definitely something weird going on, tickets taken off sale or something.

Literally about 5,000 tickets disappeared in about two hours max when I looked.

They were having problems with the computer system yesterday.

I checked at about 930 and there were about 4700 left, by midday that was 1700 left. Definitely something weird going on or alternatively people have received a mail shot and thought fuck it let’s get involved.

If they’ve taken some off sale we’ll see it tmw night a bit like Saturday.
