Aston Villa vs Chelsea pre-match thread

[Sexual Ealing]

I think he talks about Man Utd more than most Man Utd fans do.

Apologies - but yes i do - it is a sickness but i loathe them - even more than your average Nose hates us

No Apology Required .

(sounds like a Phil Collins album) .

Phil Collins owes us all plenty of apologies.

Seems there is still quite a few tickets for Saturday.  Seems people are more interested in the olympiakos game and the ko time

[VillaTim]

Saturday 8pm will rule lots out due to commuting issues . It's a stupid KO time .

Chelsea have never been that big a draw down at VP.

Chelsea have never been that big a draw down at VP.

Or indeed at Stamford Bridge.

There's a handful of returns that have been put on.

[VillaTim]

TV and LG must be sold out then.

The £30 difference in ticket pricing is probably motivsting that too.

Not a smart decision by the club tbh. With the conference league game too. If anything they should have reduced the ticket prices for this game.

If it was a 5.30 ko id have gone but 8pm then tarvelling back tp london at 11pm i wouldny get home until at least 1 or 2am. Just not for me on this occasion

I know quite a few ST holders who won't be going. I'd be thinking twice myself, but we have mates coming over from Derry so we're making an afternoon and night of it.

[VillaTim]

We can't make this, have listed seats back with AVFC . No idea if they've shifted or not . Terrible KO time .

[tomd2103]

£58.50 being the cheapest adult ticket available might have something to do with it as well.  £60+ in most areas of the ground. 

Think we will see those kind of prices as standard next season and I think it will leave a lot of people with a decision to make unfortunately.

Weirdly nervous about this one. It's the exact type of game that the villa of old would balls up and gift a struggling team a win. Here's hoping my built-in pessimism gets roundly mocked on saturday night.

[Villa in Denmark]

Another one who's nervous about this one, mainly because of the grief I'll get from brother-in-law and nephew if we lose.

The game must have sold out if they are letting ST holders list their seats.
