  1. Might be worth emailing accessibility@avfc.co.uk to see if there is anything they can do to help. I'd probably cc premium@avfc.co.uk as well as youve booked a premium package. Both have helped me out and better than trying to ring.
  2. How many are you after? I was trying to help someone who got sorted and now have 2 in my basket for Doug Ellis P7
  3. Got 2 but not a great experience. Managed to get in straight away and get some seats in the basket but hardly smooth after that. Website crashing, closed for maintenance etc each stage being a nightmare. Could see the issue carrying on until my seats would be released but got there in the end thankfully.
  4. If there was any doubt anyway, despite not scoring, today's performance could be the one to get him on that plane to Germany.
  5. A few notes on atmosphere unrelated to today. I think atmosphere in support of Villa is as good as anywhere in England. We can be very reactive to performance and situation on the pitch but I don't think that differs from most. I do think we are a lot less hostile than other clubs. There's some clubs like Newcastle & Everton that come to mind that always sound like they are hard done by the ref and everything is against them and every decision is against them. It certainly annoys me when playing them but also watching games as a neutral. Would I like us to be more like that? I don't know it's tricky. Similar, comparing to the European/Ultra side of things. There's no doubt it often makes for louder fans with their 'leaders' orchestrating and demanding chants and routines. However I also like the more traditional 'organic' side of English fans. There is definitely some middle ground and there are things can be improved. We do need to support the lads through thick and thin to the end now though. I imagine I'll only make Liverpool & Olympiacos but imagine I'll be pretty hoarse after both of those. UTFV
  6. Would anything other than relatively small Villa Park redevelopment (no more than the original plan for the North stand) or a new ground and location even be an option? I don't see any football ground share likely at all and Alexander stadium wouldn't be a particularly good option either.
  7. They say you learn a lot in defeat. While there were personnel and shape differences against Spurs and Man City, I think the overall gane plans were similar to yesterday. However we executed it perfectly. Individual performances were high quality and worked well as a team. The big difference was we kept them from scoring which enabled us to keep to Plan A.
  8. A lot of criticism of him yesterday for getting the yellow, which I thought was very harsh. The ball was defintely there to be won, it was a challenge after playing 97 minutes. With tired legs it's easy to get fractionally wrong which unfortunately he did. If it happened in the first half I doubt it would even have been given a yellow. It's hard for him to be as effective as he was before Kamara got injured. Kamara was the primary defensive one of the pair since he's been out although it had been shared with McGinn he does have that extra responsibility.
  9. There will be a huge amount like that. I'm near the top and turned down the opportunity twice. This season I don't believe anyone had the opportunity in part using vacant seats in Holte for Terrace View as well as the original plan to demolish the North Stand would have meant a lot of relocations come next season. So I'm on my last chance before losing my place in the queue. If I was asked tomorrow I think I would decline. Its not a 100% no but life just wouldn't allow it with ease currently. I now take my daughter more than I go with mates. So realistically more likely to go to the back of the queue and register her but then a couple of years down the line she might not even be interested.
  10. Villa kindly emailed a 30% discount code to renew our memberships. So hopefully should be able to get tickets this time rather than having to get terrace view entry.
  11. Doesn't really clarify in regards to your question but have this from an email today. I will be going into the Terrace View rather than a turnstile but would say this applies to all.
  12. Not too much to show today but could have been so much better. Just gone with 4 multiples today but chose the wrong combinations. 1330 5-1 winner 1410 15/8 winner 1450 13/2 place but had the winner in the ITV 7 1530 7-1 place (which was the 4th place but without fav) 1610 40-1 place. 1650 7-1 winner So close but so far. That's betting all over though. I mean I'm up but seeing them listed in 1 makes me want to cry Oh and 5 winners 1 placed and 1 unplaced in the itv7
  13. She will (as long as it goes well ). Still trying to hook her in. It will only be her 3rd mens game. Leeds last season and Legia. She does love the games live, not so much on TV. She did watch the first half with me today though.
  14. Yeah £80 for me and £35 for my daughter. It will only be a drink each and programmes, food will be extra. The added bonus is my daughter is Coeliac and they've said there will be gluten free items on the menu. So all being well if I finish work on time we can get there in good time, enjoy the evening and have something to eat, rather than rushing a mcdonalds or eating in the car. Our seats are right near the back of Upper Holte so it's a new experience for her too.
  15. Hadn't renewed our memberships this season so only eligible today. Really wanted to take my daughter so had to get some Terrace View tickets. At least with the decent general price it's not too much more than a category A Premier league game for the of us. A league game I probably would have held off and kept checking for a season ticket resale but only chance would have been if any terrace view tickets went on general sale, which I wasn't going to gamble on.
