jackbauer24 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 A new subject to discuss that might pull us away from the very depressing now! Getting back from the Arsenal game I was trying to think of anything but the match so started thinking about the experience, the stadium and the 'show'. Maybe I was trying to attach some worth to the amount of money I'd spent! Anyway, first time at the Emirates. Obviously has the benefit of being modern and them having a lot of money! Impressed with the seats above all else, didn't know you could be comfortable on stadium seats! So, what would you like to see improved at Villa Park (not including team/ manager etc!) My list; Stadium seats - Arsenal's were padded! Stadium announcements - every away game shows how crap our pa system is. Internal 'design' - nothing major needs to happen for a lick of paint. What else would you like improved? Or, dare we be positive; what do you think Villa Park does well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ticket prices that reflect the value of the product. On current form the club should be paying us 30 quid to go to villa park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 an american franchise owner shouldn't need free advice on the entertainment package on offer £27 to watch that crap? I'll happily go back to standing on cinders with no restaurant facilities and no merchandise in the shop if we could just win a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) The screens should show Sky Sports, so we can watch football there. Edited February 2, 2015 by Sam3773 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Put the pitch on a giant see-saw pivot, so that we can tilt it, to ensure we always play downhill. Might finally see us get a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyvilla Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Having sat in the North stand lower in the F.A. cup instead of my usual seats in the Holte , they could start by bulldozing it . it was nearly impossible to get to the toilets at half time , let alone get a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Stadium seats - Arsenal's were padded! I hope you did the right thing and slashed yours before leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) They could improve the match day experience by having watchable football by the home side on more than 25% of occasions. This hasn't happened since 2010. Villa Park is a cracking stadium which does not need much change. I I have been to plenty of away grounds which are far worse than ours. t's the guff on the pitch and the bored owner which do.

YLN Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Any talk of a stadium 'experience' is only concerned with corporate events. If the queues for getting beers at half time are too long such that you don't bother and just stay in your seat, then they might change the fans' Villa Park experience. Otherwise provided you shuffle in and out with minimum fuss and deposit your £50, they're content. The fans enjoyment of the non-pitch experience is about on par with, in terms of importance, the scent of the urinal cakes used in the corporate box bathrooms.

AshVilla Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 How about putting an altar in the middle of the goal mouth? Going to church would probably be more entertaining than watching Aston Nilla at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
