Can we do a collective VT whip round to pay out to ensure this doesn't happen?

Fixing Villa Park - All the small things
The Fun Factory replied to OutByEaster?'s topic in Villa Talk
Well at the moment they think its fine to host a major international tournament. God help those attending. -
Seems to be either a beast or a carthorse. I can't work the guy out.
-
Yes. Traditionally the rule of thumb was 2 standing places for 1 seat. So when lots of grounds had to become all seater in the 90s they effectively lost capacity unless they built up or out.. Hence over time many clubs moving to new grounds. We are still about 6,000 down from pre Taylor capacity 30 odd years on.
-
It is also going to look cheap and crap as a tacky stop gap option. But with Villa I have no idea now what their actual plans are.
-
Poor today but coming on with the back up goalkeeper and then moving to 5 in defence led to general confusion all round.

My general school of thought is when you have been the dominated team you take the point. Yes, we did have a 2 nil lead but not once did we dominate the game so in the end it could well be a bonus point. Especially as I think the disallowed goal was on the soft side. Our midfield really struggled without tielmans which worries me for Thursday. I thought olsen did fine and rogers struts around Villa Park like he owns the place. Spurs still have to go and get the points so all this talk of today denting our top 4 hopees is rubbish. We all expected Chelsea to respond from their dreadful mid week performance and they did. The real downside is the injuries I just hope they are not too bad. I also thought the atmosphere was a bit odd. Not sure if it was the kick off time or people just felt on edge. It all kicked off in the Holte at the end with a few people arguing with each other, which left a slight sour test.

It must be so frustrating as a player to miss an entire season of football. They have fairly short careers so it is a big chunk of time lost.

More GA+ admission no doubt.

Things that piss you off that shouldn't

But they do a cracking sausage roll. -
I for one welcome our new gaming overlords.

Perhaps they genuinely thought the higher placed sides in the weaker leagues would progress more to the final than so far Italian, , English and Dutch sides. Or they want to clearly distinguish it from the Europa by picking smaller venues. But as a minimum it should be 40-50 K, with maybe Europa at 50-60 and CL finals 70 plus.

Fair play to the club with the pricing, under 30 quid for European semi final. I fully expect this sort of pricing when we play in the Champions League next season.....
-
Haven't they already done that, in next year's final is in a 40k stadium? The first one was in Tirana with a ridiculous capacity of twenty odd thousand when they ended up with Roma and Feyenoord playing.

It looks almost the same as the current one with one minor improvement we actually have our name again on our most important bit of branding. Other than that deeply meh after 2 years of fannying around, and does not solve the issue of too much blue when in fact our main colour is claret. I have seen loas of fan mock ups which have looked far more interesting. And now bad is our comms, again?

Wow looks a great buy. I have to be honest I didn't think he looked amazing when we played Boro in the cup but that is why I am a fan and not a scout. Oozes class, seems to always have time on the ball, and his awareness is fantastic. Could be some player.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Bournemouth
The Fun Factory replied to limpid's topic in PL: Bournemouth h
After a slow start dominated the game and fully deserved the win. Rogers was class and Watkins did everything but score. We looked more open day and conceded more shots than I would like but that is down without Luiz playing. Sun was out,, 3 class goals, 6 points clear in 4th and a European semi final to look forward. What a time to be a Villa fan.- 178 replies

Personally, I think its outrageous the Premier League is making us play on Sunday. They surely could have moved it to Monday night. They are all out to get us.

On paper that is a better result. They are 4th in the greek league and have lost 7 times this season. Fenerbache are 2nd in the Turkish league and have lost once. I thought they would win comfortably over two games.

It's a stronger league. Greek sides are notoriously bad travellers but the away game could still be a bit spicy. For some reason I have a feeling Bruges could beat Fiorentina. Those two sides had much easier quarter-final ties than us.

Sorry I had to change my trousers. Well we got the job down just about. Lille are a good side but I won't miss their endless moaning. Villa, in a European cup semi final. Somebody pinch me.- 535 replies
