I shall enjoy the game all the better of course but there needs to be a legitimate reason behind the decision.

And that's the point.  I would really like to know what the reason is.

Officials for all ties have been confirmed. Our tie has no VAR officials.

Robert Jones is ref and Simon Hooper on VAR

The point being made on twitter was that 6 ties this weekend will have VAR, but our game won't. 

The issue here is why not?  Chelsea have the setup so why is it not being used?  I don't really care, but it could impact our high line and it's certainly showing the FA up to be fools.

OK, didn’t know that and it is stupid decision. I am all for level playing field all around and knowing how FA cup starts life we should never use officiating technology that is not there when Coleshill Rovers take on Radford Albion in the first qualifying round back in August.

I have just received in the post 2 coach tickets for Chelsea away

These are not for me, my coach ticket has not arrived, so these 2 tickets have been sent to the wrong address - I have just phoned Villa, who have told me to bring them with me on Friday

The 2 guys tickets are for Coach 1 - and names are Thomas E and Lewis C - I will pass on to the coach driver on coach 1.
