The toilets dont even work half the time and the taps still don't **** turn off wasting God knows how much water every game. I’d argue upper Holte is the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've replaced the need to queue once with you now having to queue twice. Genius. Except it takes about a quarter of the time to get served. So who cares about the logistics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too cramped to install that stuff really. I do think a Villa app makes sense. Order whatever you want at any point of the game, get a code and then show it at the bar when you rock it and it should already be prepared if the wifi is working (which is another issue in many parts of the ground although not too bad during the game).

Kingman Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The entertainment outside with the bar and street food Why is there no welfare facilities? Cabin or a couple of porta loo's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 you know what always winds me up watching Villa on telly, when they show the dugout, and the plastic roof of the dugout is dirty, musty, almost to the point that it looks like the roof of the dugout was installed in 1923, and they have allowed all the dirt and moss etc to just go wild. Looks filthy!, not becoming of a modern stadium at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) There used to be (assume still are but are closed) public WC's in the wall at the entrance to Aston Hall. Someone moaned about people pissing in the park elsewhere on here recently. Can't the club take these over and have them opened on match days? Edit - Actually looking at Google Earth it looks like the toilets have completely gone. There really ought to be some public conveniences though with so many people congregating in one area.

The entire hall is closed on matchdays, even the stables cafe section I think. As it is almost certainly a revenue drain on the council it does seem a bit mad that it isn't open on matchdays given the close proximity of thousands of potential customers. I did ask once and they said it was something to do with insurance. There is a equally historic old house at Fulham Palace, next to Craven Cottage which was open on matchdays the last time I went down. Obviously it is a better class of people in West London who can be trusted to behave themselves lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted January 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2023 When did they stop selling spirits? I remember when I had a season ticket in the upper Holte in the late 90’s they used to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Witton Upper - too few ladies loos and very scruffy they are. Also correct - no phone signal (for O2 anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted January 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2023 I won't get any O2 signal until I've crossed the park outside the stadium 10 minutes after the game. It's **** infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 O2 is friggin awful, can barely even use 4G if there's more than 3 people within 20 feet of you. **** them off for EE last year and it's much better. Signal at VP too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
