Queues, tickets, bogs, food, drink. How did today go?

No problem getting in - used the QR code on the app not NFC- but the queue to get a drink looked a bit chaotic around 35 minutes before kick off so I didn't bother.

Took ages to get in, I was fuming, stuck at at/in the turnstile for 2-3 mins at least. Steward finally assisted and pointed out I was scanning a ticket/QR thingy from last season’s home game v West Ham.
First game in many a year with zero alcohol involved. Was different. Not sure about queuing for 10 minutes in the fanzone for a bottle of water. Would be great if some AF beers were on the drinks menu one day.
The Greek street food stall was pretty decent, fried haloumi and salad for £9. Better than the usual shitty burger or hot dog.
Great to be back, as always. It’s Villa Park after all.

Compared to last season’s chaos at the turnstiles it was fine.

No problems except queuing for water bottles.
The assistant could have served at least two more beers while he took for ever removing the tops.

Fine, queue to enter moved quickly and no issues at turnstile. Didn’t do food today or beer just a couple of waters which the server took ages to remove the tops. All in all just the usual and the predictions of Armageddon were as usual unfounded.

Shitstorm getting in but superbly sorted by two Villa supervisors. Well done them.
£5.75 for a lukewarm can of Somersby is piss taking profiteering .More fool me.Upper North concourse dangerously congested ,with the additional annoyance of some heating vent or something

Upper Witton, no Guinness, side bars closed so horrendous queuing, pretty standard in honesty.

No issues. Mostly because i didn't need anything to eat or drink and i didn't need a piss . Atmosphere wasn't great again, very little singing .

Yup, queued for a pie and a soft drink to get to front and be told no hot food or soft drinks at those counters maybe some at the other one….usual pathetic service.

Got in early as worried about the ticketing. They have trained me not to bother with food and drink through years of piss poor service and attitude.
