  1. Currently trying to cancel my Sky TV. Sky.com constantly show the online chat as busy. Is it possible to cancel without ringing them?
  2. Hopefully most will arrive in the next two days but it does sound like there will be plenty without them come Saturday afternoon.
  3. I had 3 season cards in my post this morning. My guess is that they have all been posted in time to arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Unfortunately, the few that are genuinely lost in the post (anyone got a nose postie?), will need to collect or print a ticket on Saturday. Hopefully it will only be few of approximately 20,000.
  4. It appears you were 100% correct with your assessment of him. He didn't deserve you looking out for him but that what helps to make you the better person. I'm old enough to know there has always been men who are idiots/nasty pieces of work but the last decade or so does seem to have seen a big increase in the selfish scumbags who have a vile attitude to others and take everything, like it's their right, whilst offering nothing back to others. There is someone married to my in-law side of the family that is just like the guy you described. Most of the family wish he'd 'go elsewhere' but there's one or two that facilitate his selfishness, even though they moan about it as well.
  5. The date of renewing and date of delivery have never been related.
  6. They should substitute the R's for L's. Then more people would be compelled to watch.
  7. I can hear the shouts at BMH - "IF YOU CAN'T NOT WIN THE BALL, MAKE SURE YOU PASS IT STRAIGHT BACK!"
  8. Voted for Dalian. As long he beats lePissier, I'll be happy.
  9. Not had my 3 yet either but there's still time. Despite anecdotes, the UK post is generally very reliable. The club will know that posting out late before the first game means that the few that are genuinely 'lost in the post' won't have time for copies (they are mass produced so I imagine they are quite cheap) to arrive before Saturday afternoon, so I suspect they will be annoyed with their supplier. In nearly 30 years, I think it's happened to me once - that I had to collect a paper ticket for the first game because mine didn't arrive. Fortunately I was one of only a few so there was no delay at the ticket office but I appreciate it will be very busy if 20,000 of us are in the same boat.
  10. The cards haven't arrived yet because we aren't valued. Villa will have contracted a company to supply the cards (a company they have used successfully before and/or with a decent reputation) who have had a delay in providing the cards. This might even be down to a small part of the manufacturing or printing process. I'm sure our club are annoyed at the delay because if continues it might entail a significant additional amount of work for club staff and some level of inconvenience to it's customers.
  11. I've replied (above) to this post but forgot to quote it for context and can't manage to copy and paste it to edit my post; apologies.
  12. I too am a long time season ticket holder (since Graham Taylor's first season in 1987) but that's irrelevant to the fact the cards may still arrive before Saturday (the club has stated they have started sending them out), or our club may need to make a temporary arrangement. If a temporary arrangement is required, I hope it doesn't inconvenience us too much. Either way, I find it curious that your 'tipping point' is related to this than, for example, the relatively large cost.
  13. You'd not go to watch Villa because a plastic card was late arriving?
  14. Good point. I think they said: delivery in July to Villa Park and available to collect in person from 17:20 on Saturday 5th August 2017.
  15. He might do okay in other leagues but even given the circumstances at Villa, I don't think he would have amounted to much in the Championship or Premier League. I agree with Trent's recent post.
  16. Told me they would be delivered in July so still 6 days to meet that.
  17. Given what JV has shown for us, I think it's a good deal. Very, very occasionally shown something decent, but 98% of what he offered was weak in strength, quality and work rate. JV just might go on to prove his worth for another club but I'm confident he wouldn't have offered any value to our playing squad - certainly not worth the amount we're getting back for him.
  18. But now you will always remember there's no S in licence. Every cloud...
