Rugeley Villa

5 or 10 minutes of madness but other than that a pleasure to watch today. Great team performance and puts us back in the form books

You not fancy Olsen kid?.. 

Very good shot stopper and an honest lad but too many dodgy mistakes 

Waiting for someone to say play a weakened team

WTAF?

What’s up muck ?

If we can’t beat these over two legs we have no right to be in the competition. Ajax are a big name but would be bottom half in the prem. 

Brighton were given 2600 tickets so unfortunately thousands of Villa fans will be disappointed

Are Ajax good these days?

Haven’t been good for years . Still a tricky tie but a good tie for the neutral .

Get in

He went to my school. 

Didn’t realise he was a wolves fans. Saying that when he was growing up as a kid wolves were one of the top sides about .

I bumped into Bev Bevan in town earlier. They were about to go into a card shop when his missus took a fancy to my dogs. I thought it looked like a scruffy version of Bev. I’ve just googled Bev Bevan now , and there he was with the same women that took a fancy to my dogs. 

This miners strike programme on bbc is pretty powerful . Unbelievable really .

That graph excludes cost of tickets so is literally money made from food, drink and merchandise. I doubt it’s increased by much because people want to buy more but there are no facilities to allow us to buy it.

Oh right thought tickets were included. Goes to show how poor our overall set up is .

Good point. It's closer and probably has two price increases since then. I'm still expecting another unfortunately. 

Yep two increases since that season . Unfortunately that’s where premier league football is at and if we are to start challenging the top 4 then price increases will be inevitable.

The biggest proportion of matchday per fan is still ticket income and ours is unfortunately still far to low for a premier league club. I think we have a proportionally higher number of season tickets compared to others and that is one of the biggest problems for the club. 

I'd predict another 15% rise on my season ticket is coming in the summer. 

That’s from 2021/22 though.  We’ll no doubt be higher now although still not close to the top clubs 

I was unsure about today but great result. I think we’ll hammer Forest, then we should beat Luton although it’s definitely not a guarantee we’ll get anything as they are tricky at home. We then face spurs at home and I don’t think we should be worried too much about them but it’s a huge game. West Ham away and wolves at home before we face city away. We are on track again but we always were. 

That’s a great response against a decent team away from home. Spurs dropping points too along with West Ham and Newcastle although I’m not worried about the latter two.

Trying to buy my 6 year old a ticket for this but its making me pay £40 for it? And not the £11 it should be for children. I'm guessing because it's a resold one? Not the best of systems is it.

Wait until a few come up from the unsold Terrace view and lower grounds you’ll be able to get some at normal prices then .

I rarely like to but the wife insists sometimes. Left a tip Wednesday night, but the food was brilliant to be honest.

I've had funnier health scares.

Being confined to a wheelchair is no laughing matter 

I couldn’t just there and let an away fan celebrate near me. I’d have to make a scene so he got removed.

To be fair there are always Villa fans in the home ends of other grounds too so not just restricted to United and Liverpool...

That’s allowed though

Would administering a bloody good hiding be considered to be too 70s/80s now? 

I agree , anyone that celebrates or lets it be known to be a United fan should be liable to get a smack. With clubs like United and Liverpool you get them at most grounds in the home end .

For about 2 months (hospital admissions excepted) one of me or the other half have had to take time out from work to feed our kid at nursery each day because their only member of staff trained to use her feed pump is on long term leave and they're had such little urgency over the last year in getting someone else trained, there's now nobody to do it.

Yesterday we started throwing around terms like "reasonable accommodations" and "equality act" to try and get them to get a move on.

This morning they reported us to social services with 2 pages of "concerns" dating back to August that they've sat on for 6 months, but suddenly feel are a safeguarding issue. The words removed just find us enough of a pain they want us to leave. I'm absolutely livid.

Fair play to social services for following it up quick but **** me that’s disgusting from the nursery
