General With all the stuff that gets put on here I feel a little selfish with this one (so sorry), but anyway thought I'd ask... For Xmas I received a superb gift. A bound collection of Villa related newpaper articles over the past 100 years. Really is great! Anyway... I was hoping that I'd be able to get it signed by yourself, Randy and MON. Obviously not just something I want to post on the off chance it would get damaged (not by anyone at the club of course!) but just hoped their would possibly be a way of arranging to leave it somewhere and collect it at a later date (such as in a brown paper bag under my seat in the Holte? )? I don't get the opportunity to go to the training ground and it's to big a thing to take to the match!! If you can help it would be appreciated. Regards Mark

General How do the club decide how many season tickets they will make available? I know we sold out of half tickets... is that the maximum number of season tickets that will be made available given the current capacity, or will the club be looking to increase this and have a smaller number for general sale?? I ask as it looks like next season (much to my horror!!) work committments are going to make getting a season ticket unpractical for 12 months! Loving the work Sir Regards

And the foreign tarts coming into our game want a winter break... for me, this is what i love about football in this country... The Xmas programme. If they were to take that from that fans I don't think that I'd ever forgive the FA.

Have a great Christmas General. 2007 has been an extremely encouraging year, here's to an even greater 2008... It's our year for the FA Cup too :winkold:

Get well soon General... And a message to Randy - no need to justify yourself, he deserves the chance to celebrate the Browns getting top spot... A Browns-Villa double this weekend?? I reckon so!

The guy says he isn't an expert on football. Could have fooled me! Absolutely spot on again General.

General Seems you've ruffled a feather or 2 at the Sty. In no way is an apology in order for you proving what a hypocrite he is. He has spouted more crap by now questioning dialogue with supporters... after acting as the "people's champion" less than a week ago. You've done a superb job Sir, keep up the good work!!

You'll also hear villa v the shite referred to as the 2nd city derby

Sorry I don't agree with all this about the club subsidising things... I certainly don't hink we as fans should just expect them to do that. Randy and the board have been very generous over the past 13 months and I don't think people should be putting the onus on them to sort out the mess created by the shite through there own pockets. The best way is to try and discredit SHA and show them up for the shower they really are.

:notworthy:

I love the General

in the usual fashion of fans songs about every new player "there's only one General Krulak, one General Krulak...!

For anyone who needs to know what was said.. if you haven't received your season ticket by Friday, call the club and a duplicate ticket will be printed. You can then collect this from the Holte End on matchday... Cheers

Hi General... I ordered my Season Ticket a couple of weeks ago and still haven't received it. I'm starting to get a bit twitchy with the postal strikes etc. and am worried that it may not be with me (and any others?) in time for Saturday. Will the club be announcing any contingency plans for fans who do not receive their cards in time for Saturday? Cheers

General on behalf of all Villa fans, thanks for making the effort to continue to communicate with us as you have been doing. I have to admit i was half expecting to hear less from you as some people continued to moan, whinge or gripe with their extremely high levels of wit :roll: . You, the board and MON continue to do the club proud and don't let the doubters knock you!! Cheers Sir

General on that note about your first day at the club... can I ask when you first new of Randy's interest in the Club, and your initial reactions?? And how long had something been in the pipeline?? It was only this time last year that I was convinced we were to be relegated the following season. We really were teetering on the brink of disaster.

General Can i be the first to commend the club again on the price of tickets in the lower north stand. To have tickets at such reasonable prices will guarantee a packed Villa goal behind both ends at Villa Park - something many of us have never seen. It will be superb and i believe, be more of an advantage psycoligically to the team. Cheers

are there areas 1-50? General, thanks for the continued excellent work you guys are doing at Villa Park, great to see. Are there any plans in the close season/pre season to hold any open training sessions, either at Bodymoor Heath or Villa Park?? Be something useful for kids (and their fathers...!) to do over the long summer holidays. just a thought!! Cheers Mark

What has the General said then? "I think we will sign some quality players", maybe the manager and your opinion on what constitutes quality differs. Ever thought of that? No figure that, MON has different views the fans on a messageboard. Alert the media. Its pretty obvious that whatever posts people make, are there own opinions. Nobody as a clubs spokes person or whatever here. Except the General, who has said we are to expect star and quality signings. Koumas is not a star and not a quality player if we are to fight with the big boys. as you said, in your opinion... In mine Star player: No. Quality player: Most definitley

think they're talking about D Bent mate

:roll: I am flabbergasted that, after the goings on in January we are still looking at other clubs early deals, comparing them to ours at this stage (when the window isn't open) and panicking.

why??

Completely random, but there is something that really pisses me off about Fergie. He got lucky with Scholes, Giggs, Beckham and Neville. He hijacked Keanes move when he was on the brink of signging for Blackburn; waited for another club to take a risk on Carrick and Ferdinand before paying double the price; like the rest of us probably thought Hargreaves was a pile of shite before the world cup (were they going to buy him for £20million before hand?) and even my Nan could see the talent Ronaldo has when he played for the Portugese Under 21's. And he brought Veron. Nuff said. If you want a Gabi, **** off and find your own.

I had exactly the same thing at exactly the same time... weird. Anyway, I agree. There were hundreds of spaces but no parking allowed and i had to park a small mission away as the roads were full.
