It's disgraceful behaviour tbh. It should be free for those with disabilities. It’s a bloody scandal. How dare they. Time to make the protests loud and clear. Heck is clear he only cares about the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Maybe there is a relationship manager missing. Somebody that communicates with the fans. At the moment there seems to be a big disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't pay as much and take up valuable space that could be filled with padded seats. Dragging the club down in these difficult PSR times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners must know the direction he's taking this stuff, and while he stays in the job, they're supporting this behaviour. The billionaire owners might not be good people, who'd have thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It's an absolute disgrace. Club should be ashamed of itself. But I doubt the owners care as long as they get their money. As a disabled person, this just makes me sick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 People raised the point of how insignificant the price gouging ticket prices made on our books. Just consider that for this. How many spaces are there? How much can they possibly be making from this? Maybe a week or two of a players wages over a season, at the cost of exploiting disabled fans who might not be able to attend without convenient parking? I actually can't think of anything the club has done in my lifetime that I've been more disgusted by, and for what, a relative pittance. The top of this club is rotten 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Yeah not even I can find grounds to defend this one in truth. Even just from a PR perspective, especially given the current climate this just seems downright stupid. Unless there is context missing but i can't fathom what that could be..

Captain_Townsend Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I see I have been ridiculed about the North stand. I did PM one or two earlier this year explaining a past vulnerability about why this issue was dear to my heart. Oh well. I will shut up about it now because after 30 years I think I am falling out of love with Villa. It survived Lambert, relegation and Xia. I bought into the idea this was a big aston villa family. But it seems to support this club going forward you have to park the passion, know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. I hope it is worth it.

The top of this club is rotten I'd say at best it's covering a 5th of someone like Dendonker's weekly wage. It's of no benefit to the club. The guy is just an absolute prick and needs to go.

Before the kit was out, people were going mad, excited to give the club money. Identical cat A prices wouldn't have raised one single headline. Heck has turned fans against the club. People will be making a concerted effort to not spend a penny at Villa Park. He should be sacked for this. He's killing revenue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Just now, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Yeah that's not what he was insinuating at all though was it? Let's be real here. He was just pointing out the big difference between the issues. I was just being playful (thought the emoji would do the heavy lifting for me tbh) because those posts seem to have disappeared and there would've been no resolution otherwise. My point in the first place wasn't literally comparing the two though. It's the attitude of a granted select few in response to the behaviour we've seen in the past week. Give an inch and they'll take a mile, everything about it all stinks albeit some more morally reprehensible than others. Regardless you have and will continue to see some people defend it all in the name of business/FFP/PSR/whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
