CI Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Looks better. We may see 35k + after all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Probably looking at around 34k including walk-ups then. Not great for a Sat 3pm considering Swansea are bringing 2.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 35k I'd go for. Pretty shite tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 35k I'd go for. Pretty shite tho is it pretty shit? How many times have we averaged over 35k in the premier league? Id say thats about right for us. I also thinks its decent given the utter crap that villa have served up week in week out for the last couple of years.

As I understand it, it wouldn't change the attendance if every ST holder stayed in the pub - tickets sold are what's counted, not people through the turnstile.

CI Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If we get 35k I'd say its bloody good when you consider Swansea aren't the biggest ticket in town and we've only won 1 PL game in almost 11 months at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 On second thoughts, 35k for a game against Swansea is okay tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAVFC1993 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Don't take this question the wrong way, Jack, because I agree with your overall point and have similar considerations myself that prevent me attending every game. You specifically mention mid-table football - would you go to Villa more if we were higher? Er maybe a few more but no way when its mid table its like I know theres loyalty but there is also paying for a product which football is now and if a product isnt that high in quality or results you were stay away paying for it.

Gompedyret Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 35k I'd go for. Pretty shite tho is it pretty shit? How many times have we averaged over 35k in the premier league? Id say thats about right for us. I also thinks its decent given the utter crap that villa have served up week in week out for the last couple of years. I'm with you. 35 000 would really be a good number. The team will need to produce a string of good results or at least a string of good performances to really make some of the doubters sit up and take notice once again. This is perfectly natural, especially given this teams history the last couple of years. People want to be excited, they want to have a reasonable hope of getting value for money. Put on the aforementioned string and I'm sure we will see the numbers surpass 40 000 sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Jack, you seem a poor fan. Talking about products as if you're nipping into Atoo to pick up a jumper. Support is unequivocal. I can understand monetary contraints but little else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I went once last year. Chelsea at home, for Stan. Went to Everton and going today, purely because I know at the very least, we'll have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support is unequivocal. I can understand monetary contraints but little else. This. Being a football fan, especially of a team like ours, means taking the rough with the smooth. It makes the good times all the more enjoyable if you've been there to experience the lows as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 The club say they're expecting a fair few to buy tickets at the ground today so to get there early if you're doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_avfc Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 piss poor support. i too have been monitoring the etickets site. looking like there's going to be big empty spaces in the lower holte again. what happened to all those 'supporters' that said they'd stay away while mcleish was in charge but return once he was gone? joke fans. The club have not really done anything to entice those people back though. The appointment of Lambert is not especially exciting and there has been a lack of quality signings made to get the pulses racing. As somebody else posted once fans have left you need something special to get them going back again. I think a lot of fans are still very bitter and will never forgive Randy for appointing McLeish. they shouldn't have to. many left on the premise that "once mcleish goes, we'll be back". judging by the 33,000 home fans against everton, the 13,000 against tranmere and the hilariously shite following of 900 odd up in newcastle, i ask, where the hell are they, then? piss poor support. i too have been monitoring the etickets site. looking like there's going to be big empty spaces in the lower holte again. what happened to all those 'supporters' that said they'd stay away while mcleish was in charge but return once he was gone? joke fans. And yet at away games, we still taunt the home team for having "shit support" and "empty seats" indeed. 962 villa fans up at newcastle singing "empty seats, my lord", whilst surrounded by a couple of thousand empty seats that we were unable to sell. thick support, my lord. For me why I dont go it goes like this. Im a young guy who can either go out with my friends every week or go to Villa Park to watch Villa but I can't afford both. The question is why would I sacrifice my social life with my friends to watch mid table football. Please don't spew stuff such as your not a real fan I had a season ticket for 3 seasons and while I was in Australia got up at all hours to watch every single villa games. Money talks. i did nothing of the sort. i needn't say anything when you come out with a post like this: Er maybe a few more but no way when its mid table its like I know theres loyalty but there is also paying for a product which football is now and if a product isnt that high in quality or results you were stay away paying for it. speaks volumes...
