TheSufferingVilla Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 General Krulak here: 1. I will be off the site for about a week. I have some tests to undergo and will not be near a computer. NO PROBLEM...I will be back and as ornery as ever. Best of luck with the tests General hope while you can't get near a computer you do manage to find a tv set at 7am on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshharris12 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have recently been to Dorset and saw 3 Villa shirts and no Spurs shirts, North Wales 2 Villa shirts and no Spurs shirts (plenty of Liverpool and Man U though). Not sure why people are building assumptions on Spurs or any other club for that matter on estimated and outdated figures or no figures at all, just hearsay. Star Player? For every Merson there is a Ginola. As for Carbone, IMO he only ever performed in odd games and is no more a flair player than either Young, Milner or Delph. IMO Our profile has been raised more than most other Premier League teams (bar one!) in the last 3 seasons and for that I would like to thanks the whole team at Villa, keep up the good work. UTV Saw 5 villa shirts in corfu more then chelsea and arsenal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carew_villa Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 maybe the 5 villa shirts were there because all other shirts got sold out and we are he least in-demand top in corfu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Arsenal have a club shop in Yangon , Myanmar (Burma to some) ... drove past it the other week when we get to that sort of global distribution then I'll be impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Personally I’d be happier if Villa weren’t doing business in countries with military dictatorships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Get in. Great result hey General, we are the pride of Birmingham and we shall not be moved. I hope you enjoyed the game, Richard Dunne and James Collins looked very good at the back and as a unit we played very well. Well done to the Villa boys. Up the Villa!!!

Rudy Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 General, just one request, can you please stop that awful music we play when the team comes out at the start and at half time. It's terrible. Not sure what it is, but its operatic and totally out of sync with what we need. Something by Kasabian or any decent rock band would be far better Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantanner Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 general,i was mon worst critic but today and though spending 48 quid i was so assured about the defence it started to make me think that mon knows what he is doing and i know nothing, so proud of the team today collins is well worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 General, Shame for the Browns today though there were some really good signs. I guess that's the gulf between a Superbowl contender and the position the Browns are currently in. Bring on week 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atalbot01 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 hi general as your are probably aware birmingham city have charged the villa fans £48 a ticket for the derby on sunday. now we were led to belive this is because thats what they are charging there own fans. now there is speculation going round that they are charging £15 a ticket for adults in so called restricted view areas which are the front 5 rows of there stands. if this is true then surely villa fans who have got tickets on the front 5 rows should also be charged £15. i was wondering if you could get somebody at the club to look into this as it seems they are ripping us off AGAIN! thanks Thirded. Seems well out of order. Seems I'm going to have to stand up all game just to see the players' feet, so no doubt I'll be kicked out after ten minutes... And me... General.. could we get a comment / view on this... I realise that this is a bit of a political one... especially with the Gold brothers public comments recently... but yet again they get away with ripping off Villa fans.

NulliSecundus Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Further to the comments above General, may I suggest a pricing strategy for the Blues game at home. Charge the away fans £48.50 (just for giggles) and then make every other seat in the stadium a restricted view seat, the restriction being you have to look at the ugly SHA fans in the Doug Ellis, returning to normal prices for the game in 'restricted' view seats.

Would it not be possible to set our pricing structure for away fans to mirror the amounts that we are charged at away grounds... that way, those who over charge get the same back, those who are fair get the same treatment back. This sort of precident could then lead to a fair pricing structure across all other clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 15, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't wish to pre-empt the General's answer to the above question, but I will anyway - Premier League rules (rightly) don't allow it to be done that way - basically clubs may only charge away supporters what they charge their own fans for similar seats. Just because small heath are grubby doesn't mean we should sink to their level. I also don't agree with the suggestion - because "punishing" the most loyal followers of teams (the away fans) by ripping them off when they come to VP is just disrespectful and unjust - they don't set the prices their club charges us lot - why should they, or we, suffer? You can't complain about what small heath do, and then urge us to do the same, surely? Anyway, it's not permitted by League rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
