Can still see us taking a big following but it’s a kick in the teeth for many. One of the reasons why I gave up my season ticket. Too many games moved to stupid kick off times on stupid days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Villa should put on free coaches for this and ask for the maximum allocation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc456 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm sure the season before last Wolves had to stump up £50 odd a ticket, probably would have paid it on a Saturday or Sunday, but no chance on a Monday night, a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted December 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2021 Just the normal 3k tickets £30 a pop! Poor thought we would have asked for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 3,000 allocation are Villa taking the p**s I know its a week night match now but we could easily shift 4-5,000 tickets. We used to take that for generic midweek championship games like Reading. Feels like we have given up already. Personally I would have asked for the maximum allocation and put on free coaches. In fairness to Lerner he did that a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Probably initial allocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc456 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Think the problem is if we took the full allocation which is the upper tier behind the goal, any unsold we would have to pay for, where as United will sell them regardless. Im sure we will sell the 3000, and for a Monday night I think that’s decent for a game on BBC 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted December 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2021 Apparently we wanted more but they said £45 a ticket we said £30 so they said normal allocation then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because those extra seats we now won’t have , they will sell them to United fans for £45+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact they already have this season for a cup game. It’s not bad like you say, but it’s nowt to do with the fans anyway, because it’s the clubs decision . Not sure how many we’d shift at £45 but our away support is on another level nowadays . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I believe the last train back to Brum is 10pm so if you are going you will probably need to drive. It feels like we have put the white flag up for this one already with the 3,000 allocation. If this was at Villa Park United would have got the whole North Stand without a question and probably at £30 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a United game at VP where the away fans had been given the away end and the whole of the Witton to boot! Just, why? Why have we been this self-defeating over the years?
