Yep - with priority going to those who've submitted a photo ID most likely. If the 4,000 limit goes ahead in December it's going to be quite a pressure on clubs. Getting back to the car will be interesting in Aston in the dark with staggered exit times and only 4,000 other fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 23, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2020 At the moment, Birmingham's place in the tier system means Villa Park wouldn't be considered anyway. That'll be interesting, do some games get to have fans others not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are by consideration - the club is still considering last season's season ticket holders as season ticket holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm sure there will be demand for it but would be a bit crap IMO to be there with 4,000 fans, I'd rather watch it on the box. Must be limited to local ST holders for all clubs I'd have thought, last thing they want is fans travelling all around the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted November 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2020 If I win a ticket in the lottery I would give someone else the chance to go. I only want to go back to a packed vibrant Villa Park nothing else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2020 Why 4000? Why not a percentage of the grounds capacity? Strange number to pick. 4000 at VP will be like a ghost town, but 4000 at turf moor would be much more full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 23, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2020 We'll only get 4,000 if Birmingham is in tier 1 as I understand it, we get 2,000 in tier 2 and nothing at all in tier 3. We were tier three before the lockdown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Even with 20k chances of me getting a ticket anytime soon is non-existent so I've written this season off as an actual live event and hopefully it won't be too long into next season before 40k is a thing again inside VP then I stand a chance.

It's mainly to get some fans back in the lower leagues so they're doing a third of ground capacities if we take the average capacity of league 1-2 ground is between 10-12k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fair that they will have essentially zero restrictions in their 25% full stadium to a normal match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
