Hanky Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Not going to the game because you think we will lose? I am it's a semi final and while a think it shouldn't be at Wembley, when was the last time we got to one? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 i would be if it wasnt for the CC final, im literally in financial ruin after my wembley weekend, so this one will be an easy coach trip one dayer also cant get my ticket till the 29th so not looking forward to my expensive seat on my own in the non singing areas no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I can already imagine eventual Champions league matches in a half empty Villa Park, despite the overwhelming desire to get there. The club might be in a fight for 4th, and they might get it, but we, as fans, do not deserve a Champions League team, or a Wembley appearance for that matter.

Someone said this a week or so ago and I strongly disagreed. Having read this thread, I now see what they were getting at!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well if we get soemone like Barcelona most people won't turn up becuase they think we might lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The argument isn't about lack of money it's about people that say they aren't gonig due to recent frustrating performances, or that they think we might or lose. The other was not going purely because it is at Wembley, not for financial reasons but because they feel it shouldn't be at Wembley. Whilst I agree it shouldn't be there and takes the gloss off getting there to the final, it is not enough to detract me from going and showing my support.

BOF Posted March 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'd also like to clarify that I am excited that we are in a semi final, 90 minutes from a final and a genuine trip to Wembley. I'm just not excited that the semi is going to be at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People dont need exuses not to go to a football game - There are a myriad of reasons why people dont go. Kick off time, geography, travel, expense....the list is endless. I've got to find the best part of £2k for following Villa in the next month or so, with ST's etc. I also have other interests outside of football like macrame.

briny_ear Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Looking at some of the reasons people give for not wanting to go, I'm not too unhappy that you won't be there because you all seem very lukewarm about supporting Villa in an FA semi-final. Must say I find that a bit bizarre. I would kill to go but can't because I'm not a ST holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people are giving excuses on here, that are poor and quite disappointing in all honesty I know wgere you're coming from I used to be like you. Of course i'm excited about Villa in the semi final, my left knee and my bad back are not. Expense (which you're right I should have explained) is probabaly by far the greatest reason for not going. we only got 37k on Saturday and money was the reason. Its a semi final and some may have half an eye on a final. Did you go to the CC final because quite frankly Wembley was one hell of a disappointment.

myb Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I cannot wait. The last trip just whetted the appetite for success - I think we will win. I think people on here seem to be very lukewarm about supporting the Villa, not just in an FA Cup semi-final. really not sure what is going on in all honesty.

roadoftrinity Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Did you go to the CC final because quite frankly Wembley was one hell of a disappointment. I liked Wembley, served beer quickly at half time and before the game, had a cracking view and the atmophere where I was sitting was good. I know that getting away afterwards was meant to be a nightmare but I did pretty well and was back at a pub in Old Street with by before 6.

claret75 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If i had the money to go, id be there without a doubt. Dont agree with semis being at Wembley tho, takes something away from the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In block 138 which was OK but the whole day cost me £350!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wont be able to go to the FA cup final for the same reasons (if we get through). And thats fair because I am not a season ticket holder. But I would expect that season ticket holders (who sometimes unfairly have a grumble at every man and his dog trying to get a ticket to a final) come up with better excuses not to go to a semi final than, it shunt be at wembley or wel probly lose or wembley's difficult to get out of. Id kill for a chance to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
