Well, i'm well happy the club are offering this sort of facility/opportunity for fans. Thanks to my old man and his old man, i've been born into the Villa family. I've supported them all my life, thankfully i didn't have any other option. I've spent all of my pocket money on them when i was a kid. I made sacrifices to go to VP the watch the Villa when i was growing up, not going to family birthdays, turning up late to various do's/events late. I've queued up umpteen times half way round VP for important match tickets, i've used all my match day programme vouchers to get tickets, I've been a season ticket holder. Having lived in Brum all my life i decided to move 220 miles away for a less frantic lifestyle. So for me, having a ST and doing a 440 mile round trip for matches on whatever day and at whatever time is a none starter. I get that the club have taken away a facility for season ticket holders and thats a poor show and poor judgement from the club. They should, at least, have had an alternative arrangement lined up. In my eyes this is the club trying to move us on to another level, generate match day income, help us compete and be part of the best. Why vilify what the club are trying to do in making us better, making us be part of the elite? If we want to be in the Sly 6 club it's what comes along with it. Accept it. If you dont think it does then thats pretty naive. The Lower Grounds and The Terrace View are fantastic opportunities for people like me to come see a game. When i factor in it costs me £30 for a membership so i can get a ticket, if it gets that far and then the price of a ticket, food and drinks. Then for me £120 is great value and i'm delighted i have the opportunity to be involved. So much so, i've just purchased tickets for the Luton game and boy oh boy am i looking forward to it......and i will more than likely do it again So, if you see me walking in or out of the Holte Suite/Lower Grounds or sitting in the allocated seats say hello. You'll be able to spot me because i'll be the tourist with the half and half scarf UTV

it never rains but it pours

this is remarkable

i get the fans and yes i'd be the same but well ott from the players

Spurs celebrating like they've won a cup!!!! They've beat 9 me with a flukey OG in the last minute. Good grief........tin pot club, tin pot fans

you've still got time to put a stop to it. Sit her down and give her a good talking to. Every time you see her tell her all things Villa, the history, the club, the family etc and then buy her a Villa top for Christmas

by order of the Peaky Blinders even there own fas are embarrassed about this, saying 'take it down' oh, and who the **** is it by the way?

It's all too easy to let them take over your holidays as everything is there that you need and more. I try to mix up cruises and land based holidays as they both offer different things.

you've got the bug glad you had a great time

hello !!!... and one of his replies........ mate

I found the programme interesting but thought it was a bit of a PR stunt and tick box exercise tbh. It's like it's the Howard Webb show, very animated. He basically praises everything they get right, and they show plenty of that. For the ones they get wrong, it's just a case of Webb saying they got it wrong and we will learn from it. No real accountability behind it all. Sadly VAR is hear to stay, i wish it would go away as i don't think it's improved the game at all but there is too much invested in it now. It's a now a cottage industry for referees to continue after they have finished in the middle. For every VAR decision that is clear cur there is one that is still someones opinion. It just changes who's opinion. I don't think it will ever be perfect and get everything right. Just the same as when we didn't have it.

what a LOB

must be a copy paste error as @LancsVillan has got 18 points

Legia Warsaw.....impressive

So, Liverpool reject a 150 million bid for Salah from Al Ittihad The crazy situation is the Saudi transfer window closes way after the Premier League and Europe There could be players leaving after our window shuts, leaving clubs with no chance of getting a replacement. When does the Saudi Pro League transfer window close? There is some confusion over how much longer the Saudi Pro League have to sign players. FIFA have their transfer deadline day listed as Wednesday, September 20. Meanwhile, on the league's website, they claim teams have until Thursday, September 7 to sign players.

only 68

Dalian Atkinson....24 years apart, two very different memories 31 years ago a goal 7 years ago illegally killed !!!! RIP HEITS
