No issues, just go to there ticket office if no joy mate. 

Sorted now but thank you.

Anybody else having a problem downloading their ticket?

it’s just coming up with an error on the Brighton Website saying it can’t be downloaded and we’re on our way down now.

Sorted now, bloody technology!

Plus side is it's very easy to get to IF Eurostar is actually running and should get a bigger allocation than for Ajax.

What makes you think we’ll get a bigger allocation? Standard allocation seems to be 5% of the capacity and Lille’s ground is over 5000 less than Ajax.

I don't know why they even list a season ticket holder criteria on sale date as for all prem matches they get sold out before then. The only tickets I have managed to bag this season were in our short lived FA Cup run at Boro and the first Chelsea game.

I know Everton and West Ham got down to season ticket holders and I believe Spurs did as well. Granted there weren’t many tickets.

I'm saying this as someone who was successful, but they really need to think things through regarding the away ticket purchasing process online. The website cannot handle the traffic and repeatedly crashes for some which puts them out of the game as the tickets will then be gone once it un-freezes. It also allows people who were eligible in the previous category and have already purchased their one ticket to put another into their basket before the time the criteria changes and then assign it to someone else so of the 600 or so that should have gone on sale at 10am to ST holders with 3 home UECL games only just over 200 actually did at about 10:10am after showing as 'sold out' then refreshing past the 'error' and '0 tickets available' messages. It's just pure stress and chaos and pot luck seemingly, admittedly I don't have the answer but there are several things that need to be addressed!

I have found in the past that tickets which are in your basket at the time the criteria changes are automatically removed.

Does us being a seeded team in the last 16 have any benefit if we get through to the last 8 or does it stop after this round?

Will we always be at home in the second legs or is it pot luck with the draw after this round?

One person doesn't remember the Uefa cup Quarter final against Athletico Madrid. I've never heard any fans in any stadium make the noise Villa fans did that night.

Player performance spark the fans and that didn't happen tonight. Too many individual performances were awful. Villa park isn't to blame for that.

Spot on, the noise that night against Madrid was something I’ll never forget.

 Seems like we have been worked out with this box midfield at the moment. Seems like we might need another plan with a bit of a formation tweak. Wouldn't mind trying something different where both bailey and diaby are kept in wider positions. Bit more of a 4-2-3-1 I guess. Let mcginn roam around and get some more width into our play. 

                         Martinez

Konsa       Carlos        Torres     Digne

                    Kamara      Luiz      

Diaby                Mcginn              Bailey 

                          Watkins

I agree. This 4-4-1-1 with 4 central midfielders isn’t working. The two up top look isolated and our attacking intensity is none existent, it’s all too slow and predictable.

Xavi to step down as Barcelona coach at the end of the season. Don't you f###ing dare

You beat me to it. In my opinion the only club job he would leave us for, hope I’m wrong.

Hi, anyone know of any coach travel to/from Stourbridge? Normally get trains but nothing direct to Stourbridge at that time

Bromsgrove Lions Club might be an option.

Best or one of the best in my experience was the League Cup semi final against Tranmere

That was my very first game, can’t believe it’s 30 years ago in February.

Albion in the fa cup qtr a few years back was special

I remember that one well. I took a friend as my dad couldn’t make it. When we got back in the car afterwards he said he’d never been in such a loud atmosphere.

Great to see him in there. What a night it was!!!

He was in the changing room celebrating 

Plenty available now.

I have a problem with my seat, it’s been jammed together with the one next to it for the last 3 games. I’ve emailed the club twice and they’ve promised to address it, still wasn’t fixed last night. Third time lucky hopefully as another email has just been sent.

Also what’s with the bar in the Holte End car park only selling beer to Holte End ticket holders? Went to the game with a friend who sits in the Doug Ellis, couldn’t have a pint together as they wouldn’t let him in!

If anyone can find a still of Kane in the buildup to the penalty showing if he was on or off, I’d appreciate it

Probably no where to be found anywhere, but you know! 

This is the best I can come up with, certainly looks tight.

Also to add, there was a sign on M6 yesterday saying full weekend closure of J4, J5 and J6 for next weekend. Which has thrown a spanner into my travel arrangements from Leicestershire. 

Any suggestions appreciated.

I think the closures are 9pm to 6am.

3-2 to us with a last minute winner!

Morning all. Taking my son to his first match today. Very excited. Does anyone know what time the players tend to arrive before k.o.? I think he's hoping for some photo's etc. Cheers.

Oh, and 2-1 Villa BTW!

Morning,

I’m sure when Smith was in charge the players arrived 4 hours before kick off. I went a few times for Autographs, I think they have a meeting and pre match meal all together.

My neighbour is an Everton fan and reliably informs me he has played 3 minutes!!!
