  1. Yeah maybe, but also Villa Fans 5 Years Ago: "We're shit and have been for years, fed up of players not playing for the shirt, I wish any of them cared and played with some desire"
  2. Are you CVByrne in disguise, Aaaaare you CVByrne in disguise?
  3. I love watching Dougie play. He can be frustrating and give the ball away in stupid, dangerous areas. But he's an absolute delight to watch and I absolutely love the guy. I hope he's here for years to come
  4. Rogers and Digne building a partnership of flicked passes to take the piss out of Chalobah and Caceido wasn't on my bingo card for this evening but I'm HERE FOR IT
  5. Shown smaller like this (as it would be on socials, web and Apps/League tables), it shows how much more distinctive the new lion is in the smaller formats. The old one looks like a blob
  6. Really? I mean maybe but I always assumed the live "attendance" called out on matchday was usually once they'd reviewed the number of tickets scanned on the turnstiles and allowed for late arrivals and ticket purchases etc. They normally have it in the 2nd half, where as they could easily give it before kickoff if it was just based on tickets sold?
  7. But we're really nitpicking there, when we're talking 2-300 tickets. The efficiencies are pretty good. It could also be wheelchair seating not selling for example. We're getting very close to topping out the efficiencies we can get from the stadium as it is. We have started to see some of this already but the next options will be Increase revenue per fan with drinks/food or hospitality options Increase cost per ticket Increase capacity; stand rebuilds, more safe standing, filling in the corners New stadium Something going to have to give. The cost saved by not building the new North stand will be great, but the revenue desire will be passed onto the fan in one way or another. The balance the club need to find is how much they can screw out of the fans before they need to bite the bullet on a big infrastructure project.
  8. 42,640 is listed as our official capacity. So we sold out and everybody turned up vs Wolves. The rest of the time will be down to a couple of things The Terrace View tickets People not showing up Away Allocations - sometimes seats are blocked from Away purchase but also not able to be sold to Home fans Not maximising capacity isn't necessarily lost ticket revenue to the club's as they may have the revenue already from Season Tickets or people not showing up for personal reasons with a ticket they bought. But things the club can do to maximise matchday revenues and minimise these gaps. Price games effectively, a couple early cup games were priced badly Don't mark games as sold out when they are not Release Terrace View tickets sooner to general sale Improve reselling systems Maximise away allocation efficiency, either in number or location. To ensure maximum seats are available without "lost" seats to separate fans
  9. Our branding so convoluted that other clubs laying claim to our lion
  10. I'm blaming you when he scores a perfect hatrick on the weekend FYI
  11. I reckon Brighton get something at City too to give Arsenal some hope, putting it in their hands.... Going to be glorious watching them come so close but still throw it away
  12. I also really like that we bought a big stake in Real Union. There aren't many ways (or examples of) clubs and owners being able to show their support for their guy. Supporting his private venture that has huge sentimental links to Unai, really puts a stake in the ground that he's our man and hopefully ties him to us a little bit longer
  13. I wasn't particularly worried about losing him just yet, but nice to see it confirmed. Bayern, Liverpool and Man U all looking for new managers. Maybe Barca and Chelsea added to that, You never know, so good to see the fire put out before it had chance to smoke.
  14. Biggest game of their decade this weekend and the captain arrested (and charged) for drink driving.
