There were 12 Terrace View tickets unsold for the last match, therefore the obvious conclusion is that there are no more Villa fans in existence who want to watch a Villa match. We actually need a smaller ground with 12 less seats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sidcow Posted May 7 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 7 (edited) With the feedback and information about the Lower Grounds I thought I’d share my thoughts about Terrace View. As a Lower Holte season ticket holder I’m their worst nightmare. Turn up just before kick-off, hardly ever buy anything, leave straight after the game. My lad might buy a beer if we’re early enough but more often than not, he won’t. Having spent £80 to get a couple of tickets there instead of £30 to renew my seat they’ve got an extra £50 out of me - £100 with my lad. For that extra £50 I got 2 free drinks which I guess cost them about a quid each, and a programme so I reckon they’re quids in. I very rarely buy food, if I do it will be a tray of chips for £3-£4 whatever it is. As we are there much earlier to take advantage of the lounge area and free drink, I did buy some proper food at £26 for the 2 of us. It was pretty good, much better than the skanky chips in the Lower Holte. So basically, they got a LOT more money out of me than they usually do. It was nice enough, I wouldn’t feel inclined to do it again though. I’m not sure if it was busier than usual but it was absolutely packed out. The bars (also more expensive than Lower Holte concourse) were busy but not ridiculous. You had the option of pour your own at the taps after buying on screen – that was pretty much walk up and serve yourself immediately. There were loads of people clearly in families and in groups. The atmosphere was good and there was singing in the lounge before the game and at half time. I can see why people would be attracted to it. It’s not insanely expensive and you get to enjoy The Holte in an area with better food and in an area that isn’t spartan with pretty good "modern bar" type vibe. I can also see how the club are benefiting. Their revenue per seat must absolutely skyrocket. It’s not for me though.

And can't believe the bars are more expensive. Captive audience I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
