MaVilla Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Assuming the entire squad will be back for this game???, apart from Luiz who i assume will be on leave after the Olympics?, what would your lineup be? Mine would be: Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett McGinn - Nakamba Bailey - Buendia - Grealish Watkins our midfield duo seriously need an upgrade lol, hopefully Luiz isnt on leave to long, and Sanson comes back soon, but darn, we really need 1 signing in the MC/DM area i think. The front 4 is like a Ferrari, the midfield duo is a bit.....1960s Ford Cortina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would sell out, but it doesn't look like it'll get near that - there are still tickets available just about everywhere in the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Might be partly due to the timing - a lot of people likely to be away on holiday at start of August I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank feck, absolutely desperate to grab a ticket once 5pm rolls around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 This will be my first game since we beat Leicester in the cup which feels like years ago now. Looking forward to being back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted August 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2021 Jack or no Jack, the players deserve to get a nice reception from the fans. Hopefully I can get 4 tickets later on today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) I've always enjoyed these final pre season matches we seemed to play against top flight foreign teams over the last decade or so - I've been to see Inter Milan, Parma (i think it was them?), Valencia and I think one more good team at VP before. This one will probably be the hardest one yet, they are going to have Lamela in their team and are fairly solid all around the pitch. Cheap tickets and good standard opposition, whats not to like? I would have thought that tickets would have shifted a bit more though, especially as there won't be many occasions for non season ticket holders to go to games this year. Maybe we will have a lot of walk-ups on the day, It is the school holidays aswell and the more casual villa fans or those looking to take children for the first time might not be aware the game is on or will turn up on the day Edited August 2, 2021 by Villatillidie95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I'm really surprised this hasn't generated more interest amongst fans. I pencilled it in the calendar as soon as it was announced! Maybe general sale will give numbers a big boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they've opened it yet, I'm trying to buy 2 more for friends (I've bought mine already) but still saying I can only get 1 ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not sure what’s to get excited for really. Yes it’s a big Spanish club coming to town , but it’s hardly Barca or Real is it. Friendly games are usually a bit lame and a lot of people will be on holiday. You’ll potentially lose thousands of people that would want to go but are away on holiday. 30k would be a very good crowd . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Managed to get on and get mine in the end. Getting to tick Sevilla off the to-watch list - against Villa no less - makes me a very happy camper. Plus I've not had a trip up to Brum for ages, even before Covid kicked off. Gonna make a whole day of it, maybe go to one of those curry places with the giant naans after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
