How was it for you?

[dave.woodhall]

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

[Exeter 77]

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.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

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.

[London Villan]

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

[Brazilian Villain]

How was the Guinness? Mine was great.

[garyellis]

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.

[AV82EC]

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.

[AlexAlexCropley]

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

[Max Villan]

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

[Three Spires Villa]

Normal rubbish trying to get in lower Holte, but ticket worked ok, although steward made me show him my ear buds. Pint at half time was meh

[VillaTim]

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 .

[VILLA MOLE]

Upper Trinity was fine , but then i get in early ( 45 minutes before). Eat drink before and use facilities.  I said to my son we are not moving ftom our seat for the next 2 and half hours 😃

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.

[ChicagoLion]

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.

[PeterWithe]

Fine, no queue to get in, scanner worked straight off, no queue at the bar, Lower TR had been treated to a new floor and a lick of paint. Beer was awful but I'm used to that.

All good.
