Yes, yes, I've already seen it. Always great viewing. It confirms what I'd said, so thanks. The few hundred that don't board the coaches drink in the City of Digbeth (Bull Ring Tavern, Hennesy's - amusingly both next to a police station) and wait to be picked up by WM's finest, funnelled onto...

A rather enjoyable Sunday. Still getting my voice back. Few beers in town before the game then over to a raucous Villa Park. Local boy Grealish ran the show, as he's doing every game at the moment. We don't even let them celebrate a goal against us any more. That must be horrible. Of course...

Here you go xx

Horribly negative from Bruce as ever. Very frustrating with the players at his disposal and when we did try and play football mid way through the second half, the chances came. Both teams with some cracking chances to win it. Referee atrocious and blew up for everything so there was no flow to...

Four OOT Villa coaches then. I'll take that compared to the 16 (sixteen!) official supporters' coaches in the Villa Park coach park in April. An hour before kick off. Coaches, balloons, clappers. What an absolute travesty if we fail to beat the tinpot working class men's club of Solihull with...

It should hold up well if our PL away followings and support to grounds we've been to regularly this season is anything to go by. Pleased that Bolton look like they're coming up as that's one the fans like and will replace Wigan and Blackburn in part if the latter go. Places like Hillsborough...

Just Barnsley, Norwich and Newcastle. They publicised the increase from 2,787 to 3,362, but not from 3,362 to 3,849. Means that with all those buying tickets in the neutral end from last Summer onwards, the last two away games will have approx. 7000 at each. Unofficially in the case of Fulham...

1711 Villa at Burton; again reported by our police liaison officer. Turns out our allocation for Fulham on Easter Monday is 3849. Thought they'd been slow to sell but appears they've upped the allocation a second time without making fans aware.

Only sold out cos it's a novelty... :animatedf:

Ah, that n word again. The Premier League had no novelty factor for us. Yet we were selling out away game after away game for over twenty seasons with ticket prices £35 - £55 a pop, at grounds we visited every year. And with consistently one of the worst away records. Or disproved by the 10,000...

On numbers, I had a quick look at some of the games remaining for both ourselves and Leeds on the train the other day. Provided we receive the full end at Blackburn and Wigan, we'll end up pipping them to 2nd given that, aside from Newcastle, all our remaining aways will sell out whatever the...

Yeah Spurs is mad. We're going to get roundly trounced, Sunday 4pm on 'terrestrial' at a ground we've played at for around 25 consecutive seasons. Crazy. I'm only going to help us shift a few more tickets. No appeal whatsoever and wouldn't be going if I wasn't local. Ah nice one; it's awful...

Yeah nice easy train from Victoria so can leave work a bit early and get in a pub before they're packed. I'll be home by 11 after the game. Sunday'll be a struggle for Villa / Spurs / Chelsea / Peterborough fans if the planned tube strike goes ahead. Will take me nigh-on 2 hours to get home -...

Odd that Villa didn't appear to update the official website with sales information for Brentford. Only knew it was going on sale through the grapevine. Website was typically faulty but managed to get one when they went on sale 5pm yesterday - no option to select terrace tickets but the away...

Afraid not, VL. First one I've missed in a while. Flying to the States shortly so couldn't risk their one-game-a-season fans causing me any damage... Cracking atmosphere in Elephant & Castle however where the London Villa lot met up. Hoarse this morning. And yes, I think that's the key. They...

I agree. This season was always about consolidation following years of dross. Not sure we'd be 'ready' if we were to sneak through the play-offs this season. Plus I've a number of grounds I'll need to tick off next season.. Content with a point today. And the swathes of empty seats behind the...

A bit of an anti-climax? What, Gestede scoring a second half winner in-front of a reverberating Villa Park under the floodlights? Certainly wasn't an anti-climax from my position in the Lower Holte.. In fairness to Small Heath, they could have sold 50,000 like they took to Bruges if the ticket...

Still not sold out?! It's like the League Cup final all over again...
