Absolutely nothing!*

Cheers. Hoping that the UECL games aren't too expensive compared to league prices....

Hopefully they'll price according to the opposition. Plenty of less known teams so hopefully we'll see £20 or less for some of the games and a fuller Villa Park because of this.

If we paid 50% of Lukaku’s wages and a £5m loan fee. Would you take him?

Can he iron?

What was going on around kick off? We were still warming up when Walsall came out. I know it's the first game of preseason but that's a bit too casual.

The kick off was delayed by 10 minutes so I'm assuming our team arrived a bit late (team bus in traffic?) and were warming up around 3pm but Walsall decided to stick to their usual timing routine.

Brighter second half with chances to win it. No apparent injuries so exactly what was needed from the first preseason friendly.

Kadan Young.

Would’ve been good to get a look at Duran today…

Hopefully it'll be clarified either going out on loan or a minor knock.

Anyone reading too much into performances (positive or negative), just remember that one year I went to one of these and Nicklas Helenius looked good.

With or without his shorts pulled down?

I'd like to see Kadan Young at some point.

Wish granted.

7 changes!

Feeney attempted clearance puts it on a plate.

Scuffed shot by buendia. Nice work by timmy.

On another nite i think woodwards left villa just turned over and he is commentating the forest vs notss county game

I think Woodward is freelance so if he's not first choice for a Villa game he'll try to get a game elsewhere.

Just saw this, this is our Moussa Diaby right?

 

Great! If Diaby starts running now he might be at Bescot to play the second half.

Boom, sorted.

Getting there. The teeth should alternate claret and blue and there should be a single star on the end of a wobbly spring attached to an alice band the lion wears.

Will we ever move forward as a club...

MON was there but left just before the training session started!

A cheese room and unlimited balti pies.

In all seriousness, I'd be more inclined to pay the £480 if that was true!

@Talldarkandransome I believe it includes one drink pre-match, one drink at half time, a programme and a lanyard. Halve the cost and just include the couple of drinks and I might have been interested.

£120k pw, Percy?! That's only one Digne leg covered.

£120k pw was what I was told 'on good authority' a year or so ago. I mentioned it on VT once but it didn't suit the VTer's preferring to believe some exaggerated salary reports as a stick to beat the Digne/Gerrard/Purslow with.

Even so, in regard to Forest even considering matching Digne's wage per week, I can't help but think they haven't noticed the 1 at the start!

If it's a true representation then there is a whole block available. It doesn't actually say where it is though.

Picking a random seat says

Thanks for that information. I'm as puzzled as most as to what that seat map even represents.

From my ST seat numbers and their position in the stand, the  Upper Holte must have around 200 to 240 seats in each row (decreasing from front to back as it's tapered by the position of Trinity Road). So how is Row 14 seat 693 available and where would that be?!!!

So my daughter who is on the Holte End season ticket waiting list has just got an e-mail telling her she is eligible to buy a place in the new Terrace View.

I wonder if they are increasing the number of season tickets available in the Holte Upper. It could be that tickets previously held for a match by match basis are now available to buy as a season ticket - provided the Terrace View Lounge is also purchased.

Well that was quick - the Villa section is all sold out.

Following the 'now available' notification from Villa, I've tried to get away sections tickets and for some reason, there's very, very few even single seats available. The even fewer with two seats together said 'sorry no longer available' when I selected them. Very frustrating! Anyone got a clue how get two seats together?

Are you sure you have this right? Traditionally the club have given back 1/19th of the ST per game that you resell. This typically works out at 80% of the match day price. So you get back what you have paid. 

I'm not seeing any change to the scheme, other than they want you to transfer your ST seat to a friends fan ID rather than just giving them your card. 

They've asked people to do this for years for health and safety reasons. 

I've never resold through the club. Tried once a few years ago but it didn't sell so I got nothing. I think you get 80% of your pro-rata season ticket value, not 80% of the match day price as that would typically be a profit on the season ticket value!

The system is absolutely fine. You can give it for free to friends or family, or get the bulk of your money back if you sell it back to the club and they sell it on. Why not 100%? Because fans could then buy a season ticket, with no intention of going to all of the games and not lose out. I sold my ticket for about eight games last season, mostly because I’d just had my kid, so I’ve used it a lot, and it’s absolutely fair and appropriate. 
 

Moan about price increase, or the Terrace View, sure, but not this. 

Do the club permit transfer to others on a game by game basis? I thought the reason this is currently being discussed is because the club have very recently emphasised that they don't.

As for the club reselling a seat for 60% more than they give a fan that had financially committed the thick end of a thousand pounds before a ball is kicked, I think fair would be for the club to make a 35% profit whilst the ST holder gets their pro-rata refund (say £40 with the club reselling for the match day rate of £54). It would be easy to allow say 3 games at 100% pro-rata refund to account for untypical circumstance such as illness, before triggering an 80% rate to avoid the concern you raised.
