You could park around the Barons Court area. There are parking restrictions in place until 5pm but you can pay to park on the street for an hour or so. It's a half hour walk from the ground ( know as I live in the area and got my covid booster at Stamford Bridge). You'd also be prime to get straight on to the A4 from the Hammersmith Flyover. 

That's my view anyway mate - hope it helps!

I've been stalking this thread for a while now.

It's great to hear of everyone's progress (and find some cheer on VT!!). Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on DeFranco's Built Like a Badass/Westside For Skinny Ba**ards routines?

Also, further to sexbelowsound deciding to experiment with intermittent fasting. I am experimenting with weighted carries  - farmers and waiters walks to see what impact they have on upper back development and cardio.

Keep up the good work all!

Really, really strange and interesting to me that he's being used in the teasers for the new kit.

 

I know i'm grasping at straws but i'd have thought we'd be avoiding this sort of thing if we were confident he was off.

 

 

 

I couldn't see this anywhere on the official site - is it still up?

The story appears to be that Benteke would snub Spurs in favour of Liverpool because he doesn't want to go to Spurs. I haven't seen anything indicating Villa have agreed to sell. Has anyone else?

Maybe the people that got the 800 extra tickets should get the voucher?

As the 800 extra are lower down, it's good that those people have the scarves on the day.. All about creating something for the team IMO. Believe.

I understand the frustrations with not having a scarf on the day (especially as this has only impacted on those who got tickets before the extra allocation but at the end of it all there should be a fantastic visual sight to push the lads on and that's all that matters.

I know it's been mentioned before, but annoying that people with 5+ who went today managed to get some of the best seats in the Villa end (near the back of the lower tier). Do not understand why Villa didn't prioritise the fans who have been to more games.

18 Yellow and 3 Green blocks left..doesn't look like a sellout today.

Any clarity over whether away games or the semi counts?

How far down this ladder is it likely to go?

Does anyone have an idea of where the nosier sections are likely to be or is it total pot luck? 

Do any still exist, or have these dampened dow nalong with the atmopshere in the Holte? Used to frequent the Aston Hotel/New Adventurers but neither seem as lively these days . Any new watering holes we should be aware of? 

P5 is now available on the fulham site, preusmably as we didn't take the full allocation.

Re twitter: Some bizzare troll account has been set up https://twitter.com/BentekeC_20..  (his actual account seems to be https://twitter.com/bentekechris20)

Some villa fans with a bit too much time on their hands!

 

Does the 19th minute round of applause continue next season?  When does it stop?

Personally I think it should stop after this season. A whole season was a fantastic gesture but let's face it, it has to stop at some point and it would be an elegant solution to discontinue it from the point where the man himself has moved on to the next stage in his life.

 

Massively agree with this. Perhaps the club will maintain links with his foundation (which was mentioned in his statement) going forward.

Why has he disappeared from the Twittersphere! I need my morning dose of Benteke humour...

Edit: Apologies, found.

1. Atmosphere sounded immense on the Tele (Sunderland fans even saying so here.. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=778639)

2. Loved the passion in Gabby, really up for this game and not seem him wound up like that for a while.

3. Anyone else have mixed feelings with Di Canio - after his antics at Swindon and pre-game talk to see the gusto of his 19th minute applause definitely made me respect him somewhat.

BBC update on the Support Stan campaign.

Not our finest hour, but now is the time to keep the faith and get behind the team and manager. It doesn't look like he's going anywhere so let's at least try and create as positive an atmosphere as we can.

Paul Lambert's Claret and Blue Army!

He's looking a great player, but is he really only 21? He looks to be closer to 30.. (wasn't there a similar query with Martins' age a few years back)

Normally one of the Denmark Arms or Central. It takes about half an hour just to get in to the ground mind!

If any ST holder/ 3+ away games last year person has one spare client reference please PM me. Thanks!

John Cena vs Batista has to be MOTY; amazing show.

maybe i've been to too many away games or have become to expectant but our support at home is a shower of shite. Trying to sing in the Holte Upper was hard tonight given the apparent silence half the stand decided to observe.
