Stephen_Evans Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The lack of attention to detail even affects the TV screens, which wished us a “save” journey home after the game on Saturday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 As I said somewhere else Villa Park was always immaculate. It would be spotless, and John Gregory once said if a coat hanger was broken of a Friday it would be fixes by Saturday morning. Disappointed they are letting this happen.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Also when the team names came up on the screens and on the electronic advertising boards around the pitch, Dougie was 'DOULAS LUIZ.' 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just a Holte/Witton Lane issue? Really? Mostly we sit Trinity as we have the little un with us, queues for food and drink are horrendous at half time, especially Upper tier. If the kids want a drink or choccy bar the missus goes at 35 minutes or else she'd still be there for second half KO. Lower tier is better, the girls on the Pietanic kiosk are regulars and actually seem to give a sh**e, but they've never got the full menu. Always friendly and helpful though. Bogs are much better than Holte though. On a side note, I'd wish someone would take some WD40 for the security gate that separates lower north from Trinity. Bloody noise is horrendous when they open that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Seconding the point about slow food service in the Trinity. Don't normally sit there but was there for the final WSL game season before last, when we lost to Blues, and the wife missed more than half of the second half queuing for chips.

Villatillidie95 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 ques outside the ground pre-kickoff were a joke again, seems the club will never learn and keep doing what they are doing meaning people pouring in after kickoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bring my own snacks and drink extra before i get in the ground as no chance i'm queueing and missing part of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son was born in this queue and my son's son's son will be born in this queue. Send help. This is so true. I've seen snails move quicker than the queues in the Upper Doug Ellis. it's also criminal that they still run out of pies. How difficult can it be to calculate how many pies are needed we sell out for every premier league game so it's not like the number of people turning up can be a surprise.

I wasn't going to pay £12.50 for some fried chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another way to encourage people in to the pre-paid version of match day food and drink offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 6, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2023 Gents, the club have set up an email for this type of thing, if you could send complaints directly to: fancomplaints@avfc.co.uk. It'd be appreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
