NulliSecundus Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So who is going? I genuinely can't wait for the season to begin. Last season had very few highlights - from the perspective of a Villa fan and in personal circumstances. I literally only made it to 2 games last season and both were before I started a part time post graduate course (in addition to working full time) so the weekends were crammed full of studying. I'm currently in a week of exams but then don't have any more classes until September! 8) And of course, the dross that was served up all season. Granted, the 3-1 opener against Blackburn (which I attended) was great - but there are very few other highlights. Chelsea away on new years eve, a notable exception! The time is nearly here, for those lucky enough to get to East London this weekend or for those who can't, Saturday 25th August! I'm in L2 for the game (a little bit too off centre for my liking but I left it late), I always had a ST in L4. Roll on the first game at Villa Park for the new season! Edit: Poll is supposed to state, "first home game" - would be grateful if a mod could change. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Can't wait for it. Not expecting miracles this season just some attacking intent. Sunderland was the last game I attended and what a grim spectacle that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'll be there if the club actually send me my season ticket through in time! Shocking that I still haven't had it despite finishing paying my installments nearly a month ago. Got bored earlier so did a check on how many tickets had been sold to date according to the OS, 32,389 including the away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'll be there but hopes have plummetted after yesterday Yep - first year without a ST - but shelling out £39 seems even worse !

Villamad08 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Did a check yesterday on os and I think it's closer to 36k tickets sold now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not too bad then. You'd expect close to 40k for the first home game of the season with a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Becoming increasingly excited as the day draws nearer. I think I might explode when they emerge from tunnel. If you happen to be standing/sitting next to me on Saturday, I apologise for that in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefa3011 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Got my first season ticket since the 1997/98 season, so you can bet your bottom dollar I'm looking forward to this! Even looking forward to the train journey down from sunny Wrexham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gave my long standing season ticket up last season, haven't renewed this either. That said, I went to West Ham last weekend and i'm going to Everton tomorrow But that's it. No more tickets booked or planned as yet. And the way things are going with the board they're not likely to be either. Not lining their pockets again until I see some positive action from them. I shall support from home though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Can't wait. Missed pretty much all of the pre-season build up because I was in Ghana but got back yesterday and am very excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
