    When I completed the survey, the above is roughly what I thought would be offered and I tailored my answers (mostly favourable) accordingly. I hoped for £5 entrance fee, perhaps 50p extra per pint or £10 entry to include one drink. I certainly didn't envisage a £480 charge to include 38 drinks, 19 lanyards and programmes.

    It was a textbook ex-player return for us. 1. Early goal(s) lead against an away team that everyone could sense offered very little threat of coming back in to the game. 2. Ex-player doesn't play well and doesn't 'bad tackle' anyone. 3. Ex-player takes corners enabling Villa fans to directly applaud (kudos to Young for professionally not acknowledging this during the game). 4. Ex-player acknowledges applause after heavy defeat is complete. 5. Ex-player clearly infuriates the couple of dozen away fans, who remain at full time, for completing tasks 2 and 4.

    No.

    I'm guessing, even bulk buying 30,000 of them would cost at least a tenner each, especially when including the postage. Not wishing to sound ungrateful but I'd probably prefer £10 off the ST cost, but I suppose fans would then say 'the club doesn't care about our loyalty - they didn't even send out a welcome pack!'

    Just the lighting making it look lighter. Looking at my photo, the notepad is actually about the same colour as the pen appears and the pen is very slightly darker. Definitely both what I'd associate as claret although that's subjective anyway.

    Yeh, you're going to hate the pen.

    Fab.

    It's a notepad with lined paper, an elasticated pen holder and one of those elasticated page-keeper type things (is there a specific name for it?). The pen writes well and the key ring is nice. Nicely boxed and all three items are decent quality.

    The 'it will be posted separately sometime in August' welcome pack arrived this morning.

    Was the story about Roy of the Rovers failing his medical though?
  12. brommy
    Apparently the medical found he had sorearseitis caused by a plastic chair.

    It's a fair distance from the pitch but the height does allow a good 'plan view' of the play. It's good for Holte End goal action but obviously very distant for the other goal. A positive is, provided we are playing okay or better, the atmosphere generated from the Upper Holte, particularly the back half is very good.

    I believe the lounge is on the first concourse level which is the same level as the turnstiles of the Upper Holte reached by the external stairs at the back of the stand. To get to your seat, you'll need to go up steps from the first concourse level to the second concourse level, up steps to the seating area (at around Row 12 level) and then up steps to your correct row (the very back is around row 35).

    Netherlands knocked out in the quarter finals by Spain, although I note our new keeper, Daphne van Domselaar, was voted player of the match on the BBC with a score of 7.95. Hopefully she'll continue her form for our forthcoming season.

    If you want readers of your post to take it seriously, can you explain why you think Buendia's injury is the fault of Villa's medical department?

    I find the problem with judging the value of player transfers is they nearly all seem ridiculous. I end up trying to ignore what's going on in the world of football finance and just focus on my own enjoyment at Villa Park, hoping it still represents value.

    After the next break for international games was mentioned as a possibility. That would be for the Palace game on Saturday 16th September at Villa Park.
  19. brommy
    Good point.

    Pretty sure the buy back for Luiz was widely reported as £25m.

    Get well soon Emi. Keep your chin up, you will get through this!
  22. brommy
    Around 35, I think. The information isn't readily available on an internet search but hopefully they'll be a VTer who sits near the back who can confirm.

    Russian media are apparently saying that part of the factory was being leased to a pyrotechnics company that had a malfunction causing the explosion. Chinny reckon!

    I enter the Upper Holte via the steps and turnstiles on the left side of the back of the Holte. After going through one of the left side turnstiles there's already a lift on the left side of the concourse, which I assume goes from the Lower Holte concourse at ground level up the higher of the two Upper Holte concourses. Presumably there's another lift in the opposite corner (right side) of the Holte End.

    Any VillaTalkers who sit near the back of the Upper Holte - have you been informed your seat is changing to rail seating and what row is it (i.e. how many rows from the back are affected this season)?
