About £900 as a named driver on the parents. Male, 17, no years no claims, no points.

General,

1. What proportion of the new executive seats have been sold? Is it on target and so forth?

2. What player would you most like Villa to sign this summer? To keep this plausible it can be any player, such as Ronaldo, Kaka. Give it a bit of imagination.

For people to be talking about a lack of signings at this stage is utter nonsense. I see myself as a glass half empty guy, but even i'm not worried.

Thanks for your time, I have been slightly gittery over a couple of issues such as ticket prices but overall a great job two years on.

General,

With you mentioning Jesus in your previous post, both Blair and Bush said that God played a part in their decisions whilst in office. Would Randy, MON or yourself ever make decisions about AVFC because the lord told you?

It's not the £30 increase to £510 i'm complaining about. It's the £170 increase to £450 that is sad. Why are concession prices being removed in certain areas of the ground?

General,

I am bitterly disappointed with the clubs approach to the pricing structure of next seasons tickets. On the official site I saw lots of figures but no mention of over a 60% rise in certain tickets. A rise of £170 in one season has never happened before. The club seems to pride itself in low ticket prices but if this years prices develop into a trend we will have no such claim. Why are Aston Villa modeling its ticket prices on other teams? Surely the club has the ingenuity to make its own decision. While I am pleased with other prices in the stadium, it appears that you are attempting to turn thousands of the best views in the house to exclusive seats with concessions being the first to be priced out.

If I decide to move from the Trinity Upper to the Holte due to the new price structure, will the club enable others like myself a period to select a half decent seat in another stand before tickets go on general sale?

Why are there no concessions in the Trinity Upper?

For a second there I thought you were voting for 4!

Get a Viewty, fantastic piece of kit!

Yet again because some people are to idiotic to decide when they have had enough of something the rest of us have to have our choices restricted.

Coca-cola in responsible amounts isn't going to end the world.

Tomorrow nights episode should be great. A drive across Africa in a car costing under £1500.

Is this the finished press conference area General? I liked the photos on the walls but aren't there usually adverts like post match interviews?

Surely banning anyone from having their opinion who mean a waste of millions of men sacrificing their own lives?

General Krulak here:

3. T-shirts are bad...you are right. I am not sure why they weren't sent back other than to have them out in time for the 82 Celebration. Before it is all over, those things will be collectors items because we sure aren't getting any more!!

General,

Misprints aren't always a bad thing. Couple of years ago some mugs about cricketer Ashley Giles were printed the "King of Spain" instead of the "King of spin". They flew off the shelves.

General,

A few weeks a go Richard Fitzgerald gave an interview about possible partners in the future etc (i'm not quite sure on the exact subject of it). Anyway in the interview he said something about if the second runway gets built at Birmingham then we already have a international airline lined up to be partnered with.

Low and behold, this morning I switch on the local news to hear that part of airport has been sold off to Australian and Canadian consurtiums who will ensure that the second runway goes ahead.

Can you shed any more light on this issue? Do you know anything about the possible airline? Was the sale anything to do with AVFC? IS it still on the cards?

Surely it must be the Villa Reserves!

General,

I perceive that you travel over to the UK on Randy's private jet. Does that not have internet access?

Just a quick questions. Will Ron Saunders be joining the team on the pitch on Saturday. I know he doesn't attended that many games now but as he formed the building blocks for the 82 season he should be credited for an awful lot of success.

PS. Do you like snooker?

And Beasley, the 3 for £26 offer from Sky is actually £37 'cause you need to add in your BT line rental. So the 3 for £30 deal from Virgin is pretty good.

Ye but the packages aren't half as good as Sky. With Sky you get everything other then sport and movies. Virgin, I think you only get around half. Internet you get 2mb with Virgin and up to 8gb with Sky. I think the phone packages are pretty similar.

Another thing is I don't want then digging up the drive to get the wires in.

One thing that puts me off Virgin is the price. I know if you have all of it you don't have to pay line rental to BT, but I can't see them beating the 26 quid package from Sky.

O, I have a question. If you have the Sky+ box do you pay an extra tenner a month like I'm get on their website.

Depends on the size of the hard drive on the Sky + box I think. If you get the 80g one then there is no extra cost!

How much is that? Thinking about getting a recordable DVD player but thinking ma mom would be better off with Sky+ as my mates seems simple enough to work.

If it wasnt for Sky+ then I would consider Freeview. Until then, Murdoch has me by the balls.

You can get freeview boxes with hard drives for under a £100. Do exactly the same as a sky plus box apart from just with freeview channels. I know they have them in the Argos.

they'll probably lock this thread after commenting on it in Red letters

What and why?

Personally I reckon it should.

Sorry if this annoys any mods.

Hiya General -- the requests come piling in don't they !!

At West Bromwich Albion ( The Baggies ) they have a swipe card season ticket system which must save a lot of time and hassle for fans at the turnstyles.

Don't know what the ROI is, but I think this would make for effienciencies and re-deployment of attendants ?

It shouldn't cost a great deal as the Baggies aren't exactly a wealthy club....

It also allows 50 year year old blokes to use an under 16's season ticket

General,

Can I ask where and what you all do at half time. As soon as the whistle blows the rush to get back in the stand is worse then the rest of the ground. Only a few people seem to be out for the start of the second half as well. Surely there has to be more then tea and biscuits!

General,

Not sure whether this has been mentioned previously. Were you disappointed with the response that the "ghost riders in the sky" or what ever it's called received? No one in the stadium seemed bothered that it was playing. Absolutely no recognition with the fans that don't post on this board. I, along with so many others on Villa Talk appreciate the work and time you have put into the forums, shown by you posting on Christmas day! Are you starting to think that things like this are a waste of time? After all, polls were set up to choose the song to bring an atmosphere to the ground to replace the lac luster atmosphere created before the game. Which sadly didn't happen by a long margin!

Nick (please excuse the grammar, it is Christmas after all!)

Question for you General,

will Randy be sitting by Mr Glazer at the Man U game?
