Popular Post omariqy Posted May 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2014 I just can't justify spending the money on something that gives me no joy. Over the last few years, I have spent countless weekends planning everything around the Villa match, not spending time with my wife, family and friends to make sure I see the Villa match. 90% of the time it has led to anger, dissapointment and frustration. It is just not worth it. There are more important things in life. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 27, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2014 Don't know whether to renew this week to get the interest free 9 month thing or wait it out till August There is no need. Just get a credit card with an interest free period on purchases and buy it on that then pay it off, you will probably be able to find one with a 9 month interest free period on it. Then you can wait until August if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I renewed mine last month (on the day of the Swansea game) - even though we hadn't secured survival then, I was nevertheless all excited at the thought of us having a new dawn. I wish I had held on for a bit now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Haven't renewed yet. In reality though I'd feel lost if I was at home and somebody reported from our ground on Soccer Saturday, despite how bad it was last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can wait until August if you wish. Easier said than done, I know people that can't get credit cards for whatever reason but the Zebra finance seems easier to secure. The club should be looking to secure some kind of agreement extending the interest free (9 month option) which will give supporters a bit of grace/time to make a more informed decision based on the current uncertainty around what we will effectively be paying for.

Your point being? The club shouldn't do anything, many don't even offer an interest free payment plan. You pay your money, you take the gamble just like those that renewed in full back in April.

smetrov Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Renewed ages ago. I never supported villa because they were any good - I supported them because my Dad took me many years ago (and we were in Div 3 at the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of people trying to do their best at the club, the difference is whether you think their best is good enough. Basically the club need to show some intent that they want to compete and improve in the league. We are one of the worst teams in the league and the few teams that are below us are investing more heavily. That can send us in only one direction. I'm not asking us to break the bank but to do what is necessary. If it's true that we aren't even going to offer players like Delph a new contract when they have only one year remaining then the club aren't doing enough to earn our hard earned cash.

rjw63 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) I never supported villa because they were any good - I supported them because my Dad took me many years ago (and we were in Div 3 at the time) Same as me - and those days were nowhere near as mind-numbingly crap as now. Although half the problem is the "Preeeeeeeemier League" age. It's killed football stone dead. Last time we won the league, one of any 8 or nine clubs had a shout. These days it's the same old boring bollocks winning it all and getting all the TV exposure. It's a yawnfest. As for the comment above "what else is there to do on a Saturday", I'll say a) Loads of things and b ) Saturday? we actually play on Saturday?

Robbie09 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Renewed our 3 tickets today. I did think about leaving it to the last minute to make a point but there was never any doubt I'd do it as I've had a season ticket for over 40 years. I'm realistic in my expectations for the coming season so I'd settle for mid table obscurity and not going into the last 6 or 7 games with the fear of relegation looming over us. It would also be a bonus if we could avoid defeat to lower league teams in the cup competitions...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
