NulliSecundus Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I posted a couple of pages back General re: online ticketing for the away game at Blackburn. Got the tickets this morning, was really not expecting them to be posted out so quickly. Please pass on my thanks to the ticket office staff and those who run the online ticketing system, it worked an absolute treat! I love everything about Aston Villa FC Merry Christmas to you and your family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi General K Not a criticism at all but Randy has not been to a game for some time so I was wondering if he will be at the Liverpool game at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-krulak Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 General Krulak here: 1. Randy: Randy is in the UK as I write. He has been over several times...but has been VERY low-key. Anyone who follows the Browns knows that Randy has been concentrating very hard at getting a new President for the Club...and just hired Mike Holmgren (a legend in American Football management.) Randy has had to devote a chunk of his time to getting things sorted in Cleveland but he is at his home near Bodymoor Heath and talking with MON and getting deeply involved in all things Villa. Additionally, we have conference calls LITERALLY every day so he is never out of the loop. His passion for the Villa NEVER wavers...he is steady when things are going good and when they aren't going so good. The beauty of Randy as an owner is that he is with the "Villa Family" no matter what. 2. Paddy: Randy will support MON as he always does. Randy respects Martin and his football sense. 3. paulanddonya: You might want to drop a line to Paul Faulkner at AVFC and tell him what transpired. We need to know about these things.

wiganvillain Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Sir, Can I draw your attention to a thread below here titles "Fit and proper- Randy Lerner" Miraculously a journalist seems to understand and has written a very good article regarding Randy and The Villa. To me, and I know many many others, the Fit and proper persons test by the FA should ask 1 question. "Does this person match up to Randy Lerner" Thanks to "The Villa Familly" for a great year and heres hoping for even better next. Enjoy your break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Well done to the Villa again General, we have obtained an extra 300 tickets for the semi final at Blacburn for sale to season ticket holders and fans who went to the Sunderland match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsa Party Animal Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Randy Lerner had been a dream for all of us. Looking at the competition new owners, they don't seem to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby87thminhero Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi General I've been buying tickets with my credit card at the ticket office for a couple of years. Now I want to start buying online, will my previous tickets will be included in my booking history? Thanks Gabby87thminhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-krulak Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 General Krulak here: 1. Gabby87thminhero: Yes...and if there is a problem, the ticket office will sort it for you. 2. Randy is a blessing for all of us. I know his lack of interviews etc. cause some folks a problem but believe me, what we want is exactly what we have.

Gingerlad Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Randys lack of interviews show exactly that he is here for the club, he lets the people who know do the talking, he keeps a quiet profile and makes sure everything runs smooth. And as we are, he's doing a fine job of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granville Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi General, I'm not sure how able (or willing) to answer this but are there any negotiations planned for giving Josh Cribbs an improved contract. I know it's not Randy's fault that the NFL pay structure favours players who were drafted early over players who actually play well but this bloke has been immense. It's gotten to the point where I'm feeling faintly disappointed if he doesn't return a kick off for a touch down (kind of like if Guzan let a penalty in ). Now that you've sorted a general manager or president or whatever Holmgren is going to be (I don't really know who does what to be honest), is this priority number one? Has he even asked for a new deal? I understand if you can't answer but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc_villa1972 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 General: Any chance you can get another few thousand more tickets for the blackburn away match ? I missed out today by 2 tickets - I could have had 1 but wouldn't go on my own and leave my 2 mates (also ST holders) so some lucky person had mine. Can't believe we sold out in 10 minutes - although I do feel sorry for the people who had queued at the ticket office as well as they were being turned away to - thankfully I was nice and warm at home on the phone. Have a great christmas. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hello General firstly wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas. What is your food of choice going to be on the day? turkey? goose? anything else? Do you know when any more information is going to be released about developments to the North Stand and the surrounding area? We obviously pulled out of the 2012 Olympic bid for the football tournaments due to a proposal for development, just wondering if any designs or information had been released? I know Randy is an owner who likes to stay away from the limelight and I think that is a positive thing for an owner to do so, but it would be nice on occasion for him to share his thoughts on AVFC with the fans. Certainly not in a tabloid paper or on tv, but even if you asked him a few questions yourself about performances, his match of 2009/10 what he does on match days at VP and whether or not he enjoys his time over here in the UK. Have it put on an AVFC dvd or a written article on the AVFC site. He is such a great owner and don't think we could get a better one anywhere.

c-krulak Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 General Krulak here: 1. Randy is over in B'ham to visit MON, the Players, the Villa Staff and, hopefully, to see a game or two. He will definitely be here over Christmas. Whether he is able to catch games will depend on how the Mike Holmgren deal is working out and if he is needed to do something back in Cleveland. This is a very "tight" time for the Browns and Randy needs to be sure that things are OK there. That does NOT mean that Randy is more interested in the Browns...I think all of our Fans recognize his responsibility towards that outfit. Likewise, most Fans understand that Randy has done the same thing for Villa...many times in the past. He will be where he is most needed. Again, not a single day goes by that we are not in communications with Folks at Bodymoor Heath and Villa Park. EVERY DAY!! It is not as if we aren't fully engaged. OBVIOUSLY, Randy will be at every single game he can possibly make....as he has always done. 2. The North Stand plans will be released when appropriate. There is no rush on this...we are still tweaking the plans. Randy will probably have a few words to say over the coming months but don't expect too much. Simply put, he believes that actions speak much louder than words. 3. granville: I am sorry but I really shouldn't answer that kind of question.

TrentVilla Posted December 24, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2009 Fear not General, I don't think any true Villa fan questions the conduct of Mr Lerner who has been faultess in his ownership of our club. Long may it continue. I hope Randy, yourself and your families have a fantastic Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
