Popular Post markavfc40 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Renewed yesterday. Will be my 33rd year as a ST holder, obviously would have been 34th had it not been for covid. I can't wait to get back.

It was great there was a spare seat next to our two when our 7 year old son got his first of now 17 consecutive season tickets. Time flies by! Either in Claret and blue plastic with the crest on the front. Still got a load of mine for some reason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your first season was the one we got relegated for first time ever in Prem era and the best top flight season we've had in over a decade you weren't allowed to have one due to covid? any chance you can reconsider Dave as I've got a bad feeling about you being there 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 We moved to the Highlands in August 2017, I still had a season ticket that year as I couldn’t bring myself not to, after I can’t remember how many years. I only made it to a couple of games that season and so common sense had to prevail and that was my last season ticket, although I still make the odd game. Every season when renewal comes up I feel a certain pang of sadness mixed a little with perhaps some envy. I love my life up here but the day I don’t miss Villa Park will never come. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still miss standing in the Holte. Being a left sided and the banter across the sides, scoring goal celebrations...I loved it. Sitting in the Holte isn’t the same, I still love it but I miss standing in the old days. I know all the reasons why we changed but I still miss it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I was brought up on it, some of the best memories of my youth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I really miss Boxing Day games back in the standing days. There would be mince pies and sausage rolls being passed as well as loads of hip flasks. There were blokes in daft Christmas jumpers before they became a thing and they’d be getting slaughtered by their mates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
