    I like the personal touch of 'Dear Supporter'. Cant even run a mail merge.

    I think the draw logic is now the same as it's always been in this competition. We can beat any of them. We can have any of these teams whether two legs or one. We have a manager who is built for this. Let's win the word removed.

    I talked about booking a room in London when we drew Bradford over two legs, but didn't. Look how that turned out. So I've got flights and hotel booked for this one!

    That's my plan too! Guess I better get on it.

    Couldn't get on last night due to the volume, and now it's under maintenance. I did actually manage to order something once, a villa hoodie. But had to pick it up from the club shop and never got round to it.

    Wouldn;t be surprised if it was more like 5k.
  7. blunther
    I wonder if it's possible that they know that 50k is basically maxed out and the fan experience of getting in and out will be shit, so they're having one last look around for a site for a new ground before committing to VP.

    **** hell, just pick a badge and stick with it, preferably for ever, and stop **** around. We all like the old circle badge. It did the job. Bring it back and never change it again. It's so silly. Or just keep this one now it's here and everyone will get used to it. Whatever, just stop **** about

    I mean that's a fair point, it's **** stupid.

    I mean if clubs like Man City and Newcastle end up **** off to play in some arsehole league in some arsehole country somewhere, then I'd find that quite funny. Let all the glory hunting lads in other countries go and support their favourite player in the Saudi Super league or whatever, and we'll get on with the proper football.

    Surprised at that - went to the train station after the gig and the queue for the platform back towards town/barnt green was as far as the eye can see. Way worse than a matchday, and I'd be surprised if most of the crowd even managed to get on a train ebfore they stopped running. You must have got out quick!

    Probably a lot more local foot traffic back in the day, and more people using buses as roads weren't completely congested, as well as local pubs people would head to before/after. Seems demographic changes as well as costs of running a pub have put paid to local pub trade, 20 days a year isn't enough to sustain a boozer when a lot of the locals don't drink.

    This is my worry with the increase. The difference getting out between the old days of 35k and 42k is massive. It's like 40k is the threshold at which the transport network just breaks down. 50k+ could be miserable. While a bigger station gives more room to queue, unless we can get extra trains put on it's not going to help much, and I think the train thing is well beyond AVFC or BCC to fix. Personally I think NSWE need to take a leaf from Xia's book and build a massive rollercoaster into town as an alternative public transit option.
  15. blunther
    Not sure improving the station will help transport issues that much, unless there are extra trains and I thought the bottleneck with that was New Street?

    Okay, a wreck is hyperbole. But to play into your 30s at the top level you need to take pretty good care of yourself. Knock 10% off his sharpness and performances and he'd just be someone dialling it in for big wages. If we're going to have older players I want them to be consummate professionals. Obviously this could just be his one big pissup for a near unprecedented feat, but stick it with the other pissups we've seen, the drink-driving and the knowledge that to do a session that long you pretty much have to be on the beak, and I'd put money on him not having a particularly long career at the top.

    This is why I don't get it when people think we might take him back in a couple of years. He'll be a wreck by then. Not having him back just for one last sentimental payday thanks.
  18. blunther
    Because during the Lambert years we never sold out, and I recall plenty of sub 30k games those years.
  19. blunther
    Yeah that's the same.
  20. blunther
    "We" invented the game, invented league football and have a historic pyramid right to grass roots. We didn't buy football. You should know that being a villa fan.
  21. blunther
    Money talks, I imagine the footballers they're signing will be allowed to touch whoever they want without repercussions. After all, they're just women out there, mere possessions.
  22. blunther
    Exactly. Why can't countries like this create something of their own instead of just buying it. Armpit of the world.
  23. blunther
    Surprised. Expected him to stay if we got conference league. Shame.
  24. blunther
    He's only a babby for a keeper, reckon he's got potential to learn from the best. Some good experience for his age.
  25. blunther
    First thing we need to look for now we have Europe is a competent second keeper. We should be able to offer some decent cup minutes so be able to get someone half decent. I dont know if he'd come to be second choice but I'd be making an offer for the Leeds keeper as a young understudy to play in the cups.
