Hi General, I am wondering if you can help or advise with a season ticket stuation. I am a ST holder in the upper Holte this season, the seat next to me is not held by a ST holder as somebody different has sat next to me every game. Next season I have a friend who wants to buy a ST as well and we want to be seated next to each other. I have rang the ticket office to see how we can work this out, to be advised that for now my friend can only go on a waiting list, and the waiting list is for a specific stand not an individual seat. This is fair enough as renewals are being dealt with right now not new applications. So I asked if my friends is succesful and gets a ST next season can any priority be put for him to have the seat next to mine, the answer to this is no. So I asked should he be successful in his application can we both then apply to move our seats to another area/stand so the seats are together, to be informed that by the time he finds out if his application is successful I will be past the relocation date for existing ST holders and will not be able to move my seat. Basically the message I am getting is that as an existing ST holder, there is no mechanism to encourage another fan to become a ST holder and then sit next to each other. this will be compounded next season for example whereby my Daughter will be old enough to start coming, and would the same situation apply that I can't request a seat next to me in any way pending a successful application from the waiting list? Any help or advise on this would be much appreciated. By the way I don't post too often so will take the opportunity to thank Randy, yourself, MON and everybody else involved on the way you are transforming our club, it has been a pleasure to behold on and off the pitch this season.

Firstly General, don't ever be surprised we have one fan who thinks something, never do that again, trust me, out there is a Villa Fan who thinks Birmingham City are the better club than us...With that I have no doubt, that "fan" is out there, and yes he genuinely believes he is Villa. However to raise the tone, our club has some of the best fans in the world, we have some of the best players in the world, we have one of the best managers in the world, we have one of the best Chairmen in the world, and in yourself we have a man at board room level willing to talk to us all on a regular basis. regardless of our opinions and beliefs as fans we have not experienced this before, and I can see you have to field many silly questions, and rightly you just ignore some, others don't deserve a reply but you still do, and others questions I see genuinely give you what you need to improve the club, hense you give serious consideration and reply. Ill give you one question and hopefully is sits within your area, When do you see us having the demand to re-develop the North Stand and upgrade the capacity, 1 year? 2,3?
