Guest av1 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 id be suprised if theres even close to that there , going by the seatmap I had a look at that earlier Matt. If you check each block in the upper trinity its about 60% full (guesstimating) only the very top is still empty. I think that overview picture probably makes it look worse than it actually is with all that green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 the upper trinity is a complete waste of time, there are always loads of empties majority of the time. i honestly sometimes wonder if our ground is too big for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 never filled it all the time when we were doing well back under o'neill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) yeah thats 38,39 and 40k. you can maybe say the one season it was pretty much full but even then there is still over 2k empty. we only had 4 sell outs during the 2008 season.

Davkaus Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think the dip after MO'N's first season is mostly due to playing in the Europa league and the shit kickoff times that it leads to. I didn't realise our attendances had dipped lower than they even were under the last few years of Doug. Says it all really doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2015 Trying to book three tickets but it's only letting me buy one per client reference. Obviously I understand them wanting to ensure SHA fans don't get in, but this is pretty frustrating. It's now looking like I won't be able to go, as the two who were supposed to be going with me (one driving down) don't have client references with suitable booking history.

Then why would they expect tickets to a local derby in a cup? Crazy. The club have got this one right, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2015 Neither go as often as they'd like as they both have work commitments at weekends. Still, they have managed to attend a few games, but don't have their own client references as generally I'll just buy an extra ticket or two (or another friend will).Even with that aside, the fact that we seem to be a few thousand short of capacity would surely indicate that to 'expect' local derby tickets isn't so crazy. I'd understand if it were a nailed-on sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You could say the size of our ground is perfect. Sure we have sold out on occasion in previous years and vs Man Utd this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I know this won't be popular, but if people haven't sorted out their own reference number after years of being reminded to then I have fairly little sympathy! It really isn't hard. They can still be all booked together; you just assign them their own reference. If you're a passionate enough fan to want to come to the games that will need reference numbers (Wembley etc) then you should know to have individual reference numbers by now.

darrenm Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just about to get a ticket. On my own so can get a seat in most parts of the ground. Someone choose somewhere for me because I can never make up my mind where I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's only me in this situation, but if not then perhaps we'd be closer to a full house if the club would have allowed customers with a booking history to purchase any number of tickets. People might even want to take friends to experience the derby atmosphere, but aren't able to? Again, I'm not saying that should be possible in a situation where genuine fans with booking histories are still wanting tickets, but with 24 hours to go and several thousand seats still available, I can't see what harm it would have done to allow fans to buy a few extra seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 In an ideal world, every Villa fan who has bought tickets could buy as many for friends and family as they like. But there's always some words removed who'll give the tickets to their mate who's a blues fans, but will be no trouble, honest. After the press we got against the baggies in the cup last year, we can't afford to let any of the unwashed in to the home end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after previous encounter's we all should be happy they are doing so, I'd rather a few empty seats than it all kicking off around my lad.
