Bit of rain about 11am not much else I reckon

Good, flying back from Scotland for it.

Will the home leg date change ?

If they put your council tax up by £8 a month to cover it people would moan we only get snow once in a blue moon. These other plces in Europe get it far more regularly.

The OS says Official coaches leaving at 2.30pm.

The club have already said the pitch will definitely be OK. It's a health and safety in the stands and oputside the stadium issue, as well as the obvious travel issues.

FACT ?

General, Another of those "You probably missed this in the middle of all the pointless Barry/Transfer questions" posts from me. Thanks in advance RG

General, A few questions from me: 1) Holte Hotel pre-match - Will the club continue with the invites next season ? We have three season tickets and have had two of them for decades however neither myself, my mum or my gran have ever been invited in before a game. 2) Bodymoor Heath - I've seen you state that groups of people cannot get to look around. What does one have to do to get an individual invite/appointment to look around ? 3) Refernce this comment : My question is "Do you skip over comments like the one above now or do they still get to you ?" Personally I just take them with a pinch of salt and I think you should too. You've stated on a number of occasions the club's aim is CL football and I for one believe you. Gareth Barry has stated he wants to play CL football NOW, Aston Villa can't offer him that so if that's his true reason for leaving then AVFC couldn't do anything more to keep him. As for us being miles behind Spurs ?!?! :? Keep up the good work General. UTV RG

General, my question is simple, is it very early June where you are ? I only ask as I'm a bit worried that we've been left behind and that some Villa fans are already in mid-July :winkold:

To be fair the general said he "didn't envision a wait list". He can't predict everything and it's certainly unfair to suggest he said it would be no problem. General - In a similar line to Ads' question is the season ticket literature being delayed by the fact there will be options for European match subscriptions ? Or will the club, until we're in the group stages at least, be basing it on this season's away purchases ??

General, another question if I may (and it's still not about Season Tickets!) Is there anyone at Villa who could help me trace the history of my family attending Villa Park ? How long of season tickets existed and how far do records go back ? As mentioned above I know my grandad was a big part of the club (even though he died before I was born I've heard all about him) and his father before him. I'm oretty sure he held a number of the first ever shares issued in the club but would love to know more. Any ideas who I should speak to, I'd love to know my Villa history.....

General, my question. Who should I speak to about arranging visits to Villa Park for VIPs ? My gran is 87 this year and used to take my mum to the Villa every week (and then vice versa as they both got older!) before she began to have memory problems. She took over "Villa Duties" after my granddad died at a relatively young age, Villa was his life and my gran fell in love with the club just as much. She still loves to tell stories of how her weekend would depend the mood of my grandad based on how the villa did. I, my mum and my cousin are Season Ticket holders in the Upper Doug Ellis stand and would love to set up something special for her next season sometime as she still knows about and loves the Villa. Even though her ability to recall recent memories is going her memories of the Villa continue to live on.

I like this one Final two lines could rhyme playin' and win too. AND WHEN HE"S PLAYIN' THE VILLA WILL WIN!!!
