It's not their first home game though. They played Man City first game of the season at home.

That's strange, It's def 162 on my Virgin Tivo box.

Or 162 in HD

Doesn't look like this game is being televised after all. TV Schedule for Sunday 27th August 2023 Sky Sports 14:00 Sheffield United v Manchester City Sky Sports 16:30 Newcastle United v Liverpool

Ohhh Aldo's cafe what a blast from the past. I had many a good fry up in there after home games in the 80's.

Its on BBC Scotland or the iPlayer. Kick off 19:45

Oh god no thanks.

Aston Villa v Rangers 1976 What a barmy day I will never forget.

Have the cheeky words removed come into the shires and used Spaghetti Junction in that video?

Which also includes 2 pints and a programme every game. Obviously only valid if you would normally buy those anyway.

Yes. Plans to build the new North stand are set in stone regardless.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-66146820 Oh dear, what rotten luck. Flooding damage at Birmingham City's football ground has led to a jobs fair being called off. Birmingham City FC said the torrential rain had led to flooding and a number of areas at St Andrew's, including hospitality boxes, lounges and suites, were out of bounds. Severn Trent's Big Boost for Brum jobs event, due to be held at the ground on Monday, has been postponed. Severn Trent had been expecting up to 1,000 people to attend.

Managed to get tickets for this. I've never been to Bescot/Poundland (apart from the Sunday market) or whatever it's called now. Just wondering what the parking situation is around the ground for someone with limited mobility. Has anyone used the official car park? Anyone used the train? I notice the station is quite close to the ground. What's your experience?

He had some nice things to say about us and the direction we're going in. Excited for the future with an elite manager like Unai.

I popped in there yesterday to pick up a few bargains. It was quite busy to be fair. Loads of stuff left. I thought they would be more or less giving the Cazoo branded stuff away but quite expensive considering it's obsolete stock now.

More or less still the same. Probably 99.96% Villa now.

Wouldn't it be nice if he was wrong.

I'm sure I saw something along the lines of it being delayed because of inflation being so high this year. Building materials, machinery, workforce etc costing way more than was expected so waiting for the expected drop in inflation before making a start. Not sure where I saw that, might have been on here somewhere.

Oh yeah completely forgot about that. looks like I'm going to be a Holte Ender for a while then.

Yes I think you'll struggle to get hospitality until the new North is built. Would you not be interested in the Holte Terrace? We did ask if there was any availability anywhere else in the ground but was told nothing available.

How much is a season ticket in the upper Holte for the coming season? I have a feeling that access to the lounge would work out to more than your £11 per game when all told. Mine is £1560 which works out at £82.10 per game. I would like to think so but who knows. After being season ticket holders for the last 26 years I'd be pretty p****d off if we did end up on the waiting list. I'm sure they would accommodate us somewhere. As soon as the new North Stand is built we would be looking to move back there, but that's going to be a while away yet.

Myself & brother are not happy bunnies. History: We've had season tickets since 1997 but in 2018 we decided to go for the hospitality experience. The reason being, I only get to see my brother on match days (both busy lives) (and we can afford it) so thought it would be a great idea to have access to a lounge before, during & afterwards so we could spend some quality time together having a good old catch up etc in nice surroundings. Our 1st season in hospitality was the Heineken Lounge with seats in the Trinity, which was great. Next we thought we'd upgrade to the 82 Lounge for a couple of seasons which was fantastic. Finally we opted for new the Gas Lamp Lounge in the North Stand along with seats in the Trinity which worked out at about £800 cheaper a season so we jumped at the chance. All's been good for the last few seasons in the Gas Lamp. Obviously we were aware it wouldn't last long as the redevelopment of the North Stand is due to start after next season, but we were shocked to find out (only 3 weeks ago) the Gas Lamp Lounge won't be available to us for next season. No reason given but must be something to do with the redevelopment. The alternatives we were given was to keep our seats in the Trinity but have no Hospitality, or relocate to the new Holte End Terrace View. Reluctantly we had little choice to move to the new Holte Lounge. Speaking to other folks from the Gas Lamp they will be doing the same. Just one other thing, I don't think we will be displacing any existing season ticket holders in the Holte as we've been told that seat location cannot be guaranteed so I presume we will just fill in where anyone hasn't renewed. Again see screenshot. The quoted price of £1300 per season is excl VAT so it will actually work out at £1560 each. See screenshot. Just thought it would be useful info for you guys in the Holte upper.

Boohoooooo. Thanks for spoiling my weekend!!!

Love the logo on our Hospitality Invoice.

Definitely nothing announced during the game or on the scoreboard like usual. I know because me and my brother always have a £5 bet on who gets the nearest guess.
