How was it for you?

The kettling in the Holte End car park has been scrapped which alleviated some of the congestion. We gave ourselves extra time anticipating there being issues which meant we were able to have a pint of gassy beer while we waited.

Got in early no problems.

Oh I forgot: my son was in Lower North with a guy in front of him in a Liverpool hoodie just continually taking shots of the Newcastle fans. Words were said

Last season in the Lower Holte we had the excellent "PieTanic" brand Pies. Couldn't find any yesterday at 14:45 hrs and the refreshment folks said there would not be Pies at half time either.
Always got a Pie at all of last seasons  home games but this season it night be a case of no Champions League means we will be on stale bread and gruel with a side order of  fried Boll Weevils.

Why bother with the beer if it's always pish?

Chatting to chief steward in Upper Holte, they’ve had to bring in a third party company to deliver stewarding.  Hence all the random folk in coloured fleeces.  He pointed out that Villa had not done any training or recruitment for many years. A shame as it’s good to know folk working around you and acknowledge the contribution they make.

We don’t normally but we left the pub a bit earlier in case of issues and as there weren't we tried the outlet in the car park before we went in.

Maybe he was a paparazzo and Ant & Dec were in the away end.

On the subject of stewarding one of them send me to the adjacent turnstile yesterday. That one did the cursory pat down and sent me back to the first one, who had watched his mate each me, then proceeded to pat me down again. I must not look trustworthy!

or you just nice to grope ,  which turnstile was this , just in case 👀

[Exeter 77]

That thought did cross my mind but more in jest. The turnstiles were 48 and 47 on the right of the Holte upper.
