TRO Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 My wife tells me, the "Ladies Toilets" in the "Doug Ellis" need urgent attention....its been poor for too long. These are bare minimum things to get right, before the sophisticated things are looked at. Get the basics right first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one large one in particular has had some sort of ugly brown grit (yes GRIT ) down it for at least 3 seasons and there are only 5 loos for the whole stand. If i need to go i have to go during game to avoid horrendous queues at half time. One pre season i sat in DE lower and the loos there were like a palace compared to those in DE Upper - and so many more of them too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was talking about the lower, so god knows what the upper is like. We simply should not be having conversations, about this, relating to our club. The Toilets are a fundamental commitment to get right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxury....I used to get up a 6am on matchday, make a bucket from wood, in Aston Hall park, with my bare hands, walk to the nearest well in Nechells, and walk back to Villa Park, avoiding vicious gangs of thirsty wild dogs, to make a cup of tea. and If you told the kids today....they wouldn't believe you.

Villatillidie95 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 They should do something about the “Aston Villa Football Club” signage/lighting on the side of the stadium as your approaching the junction for Aston from the m6. Unless you already know what it says, the blue colouring used makes it unreadable from a distance….perhaps they could upgrade the lighting to more modern LED form or something that is easier on the eye? also the appearance of the holte end from the motorway, for night games could be improved a lot. Currently there is not much lighting focused on the lovely mural, it seems darker than it needs to be. Villa park should stand out from a distance and a few simple things could be done to improve this, especially as we’ve had so many evening kick offs this season 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brumstopdogs Posted March 6 Popular Post Share Posted March 6 Sent a brief e-mail to the club last night (fancomplaints@avfc.co.uk) just mentioning that although the upgrade to the ticketing site has improvements it is now more difficult to see how many seats are available without having to click into each block. To my amazement I have received 2 e-mails from the club (one acknowledging the query and one asking me to call them). I also had received 2 missed calls from Villa this morning which I couldn't answer (as at work) and then Lee Preece called again (supporter liason manager) at lunch time which I answered. I spoke to him for 5 minutes or so and he said the club are going to try and get the seat issue changed and was something they have raised. Whether anything is actually done I guess we'll see but have to say I was impressed the way they reached out in relation to the query today. So definitely worth trying the above e-mail address if you have a complaint! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that - but apparently it was just the upgrade. Hopefully they will sort it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
