    based on our recently reported losses. Im struggling to see where the club is getting the money to invest in a new stadium tbh

    I hate this narrative, I don't remember prices going down when we got relegated.
  3. cheltenham_villa
    Good point. It's closer and probably has two price increases since then. I'm still expecting another unfortunately.

    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.

    I'm very torn on the alleged letter from villa employees. I have absolutely no doubt that activities are happening behind the scenes that make some season employees uncomfortable. What we don't know is how necessary some of those things are. I've worked in a lot of business' that require change. Villa is definitely one. This forum is full of poor service examples from the ticket office, the match day staff and our finances point to the fact that we have an awful lot of waste. Im sympathetic to those impacted by the change but also not surprised that the changes are necessary.

    Has he progressed quicker? Buendia has been training at bodymoor for some time I thought.
  7. cheltenham_villa
    while i hate to be a cynic, the timing of this news alongside our recent injuries is a bit sus. im not believing it.

    my feeling as well. it looked an easy chance but hes arriving late, the defender is favourite and its a reaction shot. Makes great contact, keeper just in the perfect place. Just not our day, thought Ollie was great in better the boxes, just not good enough in side them. Can probably say the same for the entire team.

    This for me is the problem. A bus typically holds 50 fans, a round trip to anywhere meaningful after the game is an hour. So we need to dream up 100 buses to shift 5000 fans. Costs and availability a huge issue I imagine.

    Same, short term pain, long term gain. Hes not match sharp, lets introduce him in a sensible way and get him back for the c20 games weve still got this season in the league and europe. The United game will not define our season.
  11. cheltenham_villa
    hes got to play eventually though? If hes not able to be risked for 30 minutes on Wednesday, hes probably not playing 90 minutes on Sunday.
  12. cheltenham_villa
    Appeared late for half time yesterday and then went through quite a rigorous warm up. i was convinced we were about to see him introduced and surprised he didnt get a half hour run out. Id be really surprised to see him come in from the cold against United.

    i dont think Cash covered himself in glory, but really what is he supposed to do. He was so often 2 on 1 with no support. My feeling is that Unai has often taken Bailey out of the team for this reason. Great attacking output but no defensive discipline.
  14. cheltenham_villa
    I think he gives the defensive stability you don't get from Bailey. I'd be starting him every week while we don't have Konsa. Cash was completely over ran on the right.
  15. cheltenham_villa
    You also need to factor the wage increase. A few million a year more is still. A few million a year more. We cant afford to bloat the wage bill either. I wouldn't consider a new contract for Buendia
  16. cheltenham_villa
    I was really disappointed in Bailey, I don't know where he was supposed to be. Cash was getting over run against Chilwell and Jackson and he didnt ever appear to help. They really do not play well together
  17. cheltenham_villa
    Yeah I was screaming at the time, go round him. That or follow your own shot in.
  18. cheltenham_villa
    One thing that is rarely commented on is how two footed he is. He seems to take similar amounts of chances with his left and right.
  19. cheltenham_villa
    Just made a similar comment on another thread but you could draw parallels with our pursuit of Rogers. We all do it.
  20. cheltenham_villa
    I wouldn't worry, you're reading an article from an agent. If you read any article from anyone elses agent you'd see similar. It's also unfortunately is honest and reflects the football pyramid. Morgan Rogers made a few similar sounding comments in the week.
  21. cheltenham_villa
    I assume it's because those fans wanted to see us be ruthless. To be honest though that was a very mature performance From Unai. At five nil we got the team to step back. Conserve energy, no risk to injury, be ready to go again. Ollie Watkins at the end had barely broken sweat.
  22. cheltenham_villa
    While I'd also love to see a battering. I do get it. No need to risk injuries, no need to use energy pointlessly. The game is over, the smart thing to do is coast to the end.
  23. cheltenham_villa
    I'll be honest, I was thinking he'd been unbelievable and hasn't got out of second gear
  24. cheltenham_villa
    I wonder if he was already off to Plymouth before be brought him, maybe that's why the deal happened so quickly. Odd for this deal to wait for deadline day.
  25. cheltenham_villa
    Thanks mate, this has saved me an hour wait in the phone queue. Once I'd selected my seats, I could click edit seats and change the type to an under 18. Virtual pint to you.
