Popular Post Demitri_C Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 Like others have said please inform them how unhappy we are with kappa/fanatics. From poor stock quantity to terrible fits. They need to terminated as soon as possible. It's becoming a huge embarrassment- we are acting like a championship side not a premier league with regards to this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Can we get a bit of clarity on the U23 homes games please. Why are we scheduled to use the training ground as a home venue, especially when supporters have previously been turned away at Bodymoor. While I understand there are rumours that Walsall aren’t too keen to host them anymore, surely there are plenty of non-league grounds that would. Can we get a statement from the club on this; is it a temporary thing, is it to be a long-term thing, are they actively engaging other clubs for venues etc. With this in mind, can we make sure we get decent match reports for the upcoming premier league cup games, as this competition gets very little coverage elsewhere on the net. Also, its been mentioned before but, the website still hasn’t updated the player profiles. Us nerdy types do like to know background info like DoBs, previous clubs etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2019 The new towel dispensers in the lower Holte toilets are terrible. Have to push the lever in about 20 times to get a single towel out. By that point your hands practically drip dried 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us nerdy types do like to know background info like DoBs, previous clubs etc. I mentioned our OS prior to the last meeting about how bad, and how out of date some of the content is. Can we raise the issue of our website please? Do the club acknowledge that there are issues with it or are they happy with it compared to other Premier League clubs? Be good to hear there thoughts. On another note, following the well publicised upgrades around the ground during the summer, could the club confirm what the next phase of upgrades/improvements are going to be? Finally, and apologies if this has already been addressed previously, but do the club have any plans to change the club badge, rename stands or rename Villa Park itself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hippo Posted November 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2019 Can the villa rewards move in some way to a simpler format ....ie the rewards points give you money off at the club shop - Im a 56 year old bloke - I have no interest in a half time shout out - or my name in the programme - back to basics please. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 On that subject I logged into my rewards first time this season at the weekend. What a pile of garbage, utterly worthless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 A few things from me, but firstly can we thank the team for this summer? Away from the pitch the changes made at Villa Park have been really positive, the ground looks great, the card machines in Villa Park work well, the Holte Suite is now easier to get into as one in one out actually works. Small things but it's the first time in a while we have been listened to and changes have been made. Onto the next meeting: Pride Rewards - as others have mentioned the rewards are pathetic. Can we go back to money rewards in the club shop/tickets/season tickets? Even if it's only £1 for every 100 points, the current choices are awful and we may as well not have a reward scheme in place. PA System - no noticeable improvements, has it been changed over the summer? The Holte Pub have a mobile beer pump which someone mans prior to the game. You can easily get a couple of pints in less than a minute. Can we start putting some of these into the concourses inside the ground? At halftime this would be a lot quicker and reduce the queues for people waiting on food/tea/coffee. Team Lineups on the outside screen and on the screens in the Holte Pub and Holte Suite? Is there any update on the mobile signal issue with all networks other than Vodafone? I'm not after Wifi like signal strength, just enough to check the lineup and halftime scores. Can we have no music after a win? The atmosphere from the crowd is much better with Allez Allez being belted out; stick the music on a few minutes later. Can we sort out the online store and stock issues with training kit and kit. The online store is always half empty and we must be losing endless amounts of revenue because of the stock issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a positive, the lower Holte concourse seems to work really well pre match and at half time- much better than I’ve ever seen in the Upper - the amount and variation of stalls they’ve got this year is good (although I’ve not been on the lower before so it could’ve always been like this).

Cheers Wilko - most of these points are on the agenda. On your first point, it's important to understand why using it in the shop isn't possible - the club don't own the club shop, it was outsourced to Fanatics, your pride rewards and your season ticket mean as much in there as your Boots card does in Burger King. The limitations of the rewards on offer are something that's a concern. In terms of the Beer buggies - I think they are in areas of the ground, I've seen one in the Upper Trinity and one in the Lower Ellis (I think) this season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been going on since Lerner and his team arrived and there's been no change in the situation since our new owners arrived and h ave tried the same thing. Get Prince William and Tom Hanks on the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they could give vouchers for money off the shop - and the AVFC picks up the tab ? - or so many free points you get a free programme, free drink, money off next years seasons ticket. The system in its current format is beyond shite - if they can't give decent rewards - don't bother, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
