Anyone surprised? Anyone at all? Usually he just sticks his pledges in the bin instead of watering them down to meaninglessness, so I guess it's...progress?

It's still a spoilt ballot with a spunking great big cock and balls for me.

I don't understand your position. Some employees like zero-hours contracts, this says that they can choose to stay on those terms, but a contract must be offered.

Seems completely sensible. Am I missing, something?

This poll will be open for the first week of the month

No attachments and nothing in the App. 

I've never used the App before, I'm guessing you just go to the Tickets section - where it opens to a 'my tickets' page where mine say "No tickets available". Obviously I'd expect it to show the Olympiacos tickets, but would there normally be historic tickets there - is the same sort of information visible that's usually available on the website?

It should show your season ticket as well (so that you can add it to your wallet ), if it doesn't then something isn't linked up.

Yep - but that's the thing - I've got the email, it's not that it hasn't come through, it's that it doesn't have the tickets on it or attached to it.

Mine had an attachment (I added it to my wallet), but it's also showing in the official app.

The water they sell has the lid attached so I don’t know if that’s just hearsay. See people brining flasks in the ground frequently as well. Capless or not for the money we pay we should have clean drinking stations. Especially when they are prone to selling out and not being able to supply any at all. 

It's definitely not, it's part of the culture before a game to remind the people you are with to hide the lids of any drink bottles they have. I'm sure all the people doing searches know this too.

I guess they've decided you are unlikely to throw a flask at the pitch.

I can see them installing water fountains, but not for the purpose of refilling bottles. In most parts of the ground there are so few toilets that I dread to think what might happen.

You can if you bring a second lid and hide it somewhere (allegedly)

Oh, in that case I'm sure they'll put in water refill points

His majority is 26k and it’s in East Anglia, completely different kettle of fish to mid-beds / Tamworth. 

We must all remember when East Anglia is underwater in 25 years that we don't want these tory migrants coming into our nice counties, regardless of the size of their boats.

Sit in the upper trinity and have noticed a vast improvement in Que times and food options last two games. Would still like to see water stations so you can fill up a bottle. 

You can;t take a bottle (with a lid on it) in anyway.

Forgive me if this has been covered in the previous 375 pages (I'm a newbie and may have missed it) but are there any options with rail seating / safe standing?

 Is there any currently at VP? (I live a long way away and have only been a few times in past few seasons - taking any ticket I could!) Any plans?

Is it possible to replace large sections and if so, does it increase capacity by say 10 - 15% in that area, or do the rails just take up the space?  I'd imagine at least half the Holte ticket holders would be interested, plus bottom of North, the new 'singing section' etc.....

Rail seating doesn't increase capacity - all the emergency exits are the same and they are sized for the capacity they serve.

Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong.

A mod will add the players to the MoTM poll later.

You can't kill ants in a microwave oven if you remove the rotating plate.  

They are small enough to walk between the microwaves.

You can measure the speed of light using a microwave oven, some chocolate and a ruler.

Went to search for something earlier, and it seemed to take an age to return results.

Absolutely no issue, but seems out of character for the rest of the website. Not sure if a bug, a design purpose, and just a lot to search for.

Thought I'd flag in case it was an issue. Would've searched for existing threads on it, but, well, it would have taken too long

Keep up the good work VT family.

What were you searching for?  Some searches can take a very long time. There are a lot of posts to search through.

Doubt they could if we got permission to build a wider stand … 

Of course they can. Permission was granted for a specific stand, clad to look like bricks.

Forest are adding 600plus premium seats with shipping containers … ugly but as a short term measure above the corner flag restaurant it could be something the club will look at as there’s wasted space above it currently. 

Your picture misses out the houses on Nelson Road just behind there. I think they'll object to staring at shipping containers out of their windows.

If the flip flopping on this stops here, yes it would be nice.

I wonder what has happened that he is prepared to offer a point of difference between him and the tories on this?

Fingers crossed for some more radicalism.

Is there a point of difference? Taking back the franchises is already happening but the tories won't call it nationalising.

Aston Villa website - ticket info.

Villa have an allocation of 1,600 tickets for our trip to Greece on Thursday, May 9 (ko 8pm GMT / 10pm EEST).

8m GMT is not 10pm EEST. FFS.

Confirmed that it will kick off at 10pm local time. Seems a little crazy given it could well go on to way past midnight. 

Do you have a source please?
