I'd say this is so much hyperbole, but I've just seen this photo of the bus service they put on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google says that gangways in sports stadium should be a minimum 1.1m wide , it would be carnage to get out in an emergency This sounds incredibly dangerous. I'm sure the sock cooker squad have been down and seen it themselves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Those piss videos looked atrocious. I visited Villa Park tail end of 22/23 to see the Spurs game and I can't say I came across anything that bad about the experience (was in lower holte) including the facilities. I was a completely overwhelmed fanboy though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Billy Joel's River of Piss? In a river of piss, I go looking for my seat, But the queues go from the Holte, All the way back to New Street, I'm searching for something, It was part of my soul, Something I thought I'd never lose, It's my old seat a cock-sucker stole. I don't know why I check my wallet at night, But now I'm tired and I don't want to check anymore, I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I don't have to re-download from the app anymore.

Popular Post Tayls Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 I mean, I wasn’t there so probably can’t truly comment on things, but you have to ask some questions of the fans who were likely adding to it, when it was clearly an issue? Surely wait to use a cubicle, or go to another toilet if one is available? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I well remember piss flowing out of the door of the old Holte End toilets because a line of blokes were pissing up a blank wall where the piss trough didn't run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Chris Heck has blocked someone who highlighted how awful the experience was on Saturday. @OutByEaster? Not sure when the next meeting is, but this needs to be addressed. We can’t be treated like peasants, and then blocked when trying to highlight the conditions we’ve been subjected to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It’s really shitty how much hospitality they are cramming in to fleece fans. Ok plenty can afford it but many can’t or won’t. Less tickets for the normal match day fan . More hospitality will make the atmosphere worse too but I don’t think that matters to the powers that be. Facilities taking a hit too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know how that individual went about it though? If he came across as over the top, then I don’t blame Heck for the block.

When the cost of attending has doubled in 5 years. If it had halved, I wouldn't mind being passed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, i suppose at least they have responded, but sorry seems a hard word to say!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
