  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I think there is somwhat some complacency, whether that be during a game like today or going into some games. When were on our game we are close to the best in the league, we're not good enough currently when we are stepping back a bit. It's something that needs to be managed. We could be worse off if we did try 100% all the time, who knows.
  9. It came up during the different level covid lockdowns but part of Kings Norton comes under Bromsgrove council.
  10. Yeah, seen lots of the moans on social media. I've lived under 3 councils in the last 15 years, all have their own systems but general waste has been every other week. I'm a family of 4 and 1 wheelie bin is fine. Very occasionally I have to give the last bag a bit of a push. Where I live now has had the bi weekly approach for 20+ years I think.
  11. This thread isn't as busy as it used to be. So thought I'd bring it up to the top. Last night, not sure what she actually did, but it felt like my Mrs full on stamped on my thigh. I wasn't actually looking so didnt actually see but that's what it felt like. I've got a proper dead leg today still. I thought she'd actually done my knee last night as she came from the side and my leg was planted. I've done my knee enough plenty of times so its screwed, including not so long ago which is still recovering. My knee seems to be ok today but as you can imagine I was pretty pissed off last night. We were messing about and she defintely didn't mean to do me damage but what the hell was she thinking? I can see the funny side now but last night I wasn't so much.
  12. Proper not on it today. Far to many awful passes, some of which pretty simple. To give Chelsea a bit of credit they are doing well tactically. Not helping ourselves though. Even considering how bad we are Lee Dixon is still a raging ShitGibbon.
  13. It is crazy the amount of support he gets on social media. This is someone who likely shares the same social circles as Bellingham or at the very least overlaps in places. Bellingham knows as does everyone else, other than those that choose to blindly support him.
  14. Not sure what to say about him. By no means I think he is shite. He's obviously a very talented player but he is clearly missing something at the moment. That little injury he had just knocked his momentum and since then his confidence has been shot. No idea whether it's purely down to his confidence, our tactics or the opposition but he's just not offering enough.
  15. I'm not sure we will, but feel we could do with going full strength. We seem to not be quite on it when we have a bit of a break between games on the return. Hopefully this would get a bit of rust out the system before Newcastle.
  16. I saw this on twitter earlier. Supposed leaks for Elite club Trefoil jackets (does have a Roma one too) Not so sure of the Juve one but a Claret and Blue one would potentially look good.
  17. Just posted about it in the general officiating thread, was probably better in here but the transparency is awful. What was that about? We've seen the lines since but at no point did they seem to show that in their workings that we could see or at least couldn't match the pass and where he was when it was played. Then they moved on to something else and spent a while looking at a non issue.
  18. Again the transparency is awful. Not seen if there has been more coverage of the disallowed goal, and have seen the lines that were shown after the decision. At no point from what we saw on TV we could see them make that decision and why if that was decided that did they start looking at the following play? As the pundits said, maybe it could be called a foul before even looking at offside. With claret and blue tinted glasses both were as bad as each other but you could see why that may be called a foul.
  19. Yes they've shown the lines but was that when the ball was played? you can't see from what they showed. Through their working it looked like they couldn't work it out, then started looking at whether Lenglet was blocking keepers view (he wasn't) Why would they even look at that if it had already been determined off side? It's another case for hearing their workings. Not calling conspiracy but it doesn't help with their transparency.
  20. The ones they've done recently have looked pretty poor and half hearted. Leeds and Argentina came to mind but there's been a few. There has been some quality Gazelles out though so so just seems to be these club edition ones that dont hit the mark. Whether I'd see Villa ones differently, who know.
  21. Yeah like most very big brands they have a lot of of crap that could be considered Chavy but they have some very decent stuff if you like sports/casual wear and we are talking a manufacturer for a football club. I do say this as a bit of an Adidas fan, particularly trainers but some clothing. I've just nipped to the shop in adidas trainers, coat and an adidas inspired hoodie. As a Villa fan while on one hand it's my favourite brand. I'm not particularly sure I like the 3 stripes on the clubs sleeves, in a sort of sacrilege way. Which is a bit of a contradiction as the stripes themselves I often like on the clothing. Ultimately I rarely buy a shirt though and looking forward to some of the possible training/leisurewear and its win-win if we're getting a good deal financially.
  22. He probably couldn't believe his luck. A way to get out of a contract that he thinks he could get better, timed with performances on the pitch giving even more potential for revenue. Although you can hear the social media meltdown down now. That it's August and the new kit is still not available to buy.
  23. Emery's timing of subs is usually pretty good. I think the Ramsey/Zaniolo Bailey/Diaby switches came too late. Things didn't change too much with the switch but at 2-1 it needed something.
  24. I think when he was sold, there was a compulsory buy back if they get relegated. What do we reckon that means? I presume it's not the full buy back, so what we paid or a bit more? It certainly made sense at the time and covers us losing a potential loss of a chunk of money depending on that situation. Still no better off on how good he is. Not many strikers would have much success at Sheffield Utd. Still not convinced he's got a good enough off the ball game but still hard to tell. How does his value hold after this season? And where will that leave us with FFP?
  25. As I said when I suggested Torres playing in midfield to replace Kamara. Sometimes while you can see how it may work, I also would say any of his attacking positives just wouldn't happen if he played further forward. If we were to play negatively against a tough team, maybe. I don't think it would a consideration though, last half an hour in a game maybe. Not from the start of a game though.
