Villa have been an established prem club for a long time its different to see the likes of them come down rather than the likes of what everyone expected i.e. bournemouth, leicester (strange saying that given what happened), watford, weat brom etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a villa buying second rate players for 3 or 4 seasons on the hope of coming good on the cheap, playing uninspiring stuff. I see Villa fans being all Hubris, if i'm honest. Hubris I tell you. What does history buy you? Well, we are constantly told "nothing" - that's what Villa have now, History. Bring it on, lets do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious George Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like Villa. They're going to get a surprise on Sunday though. Welcome to the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been struggling for a few seasons now but nobody can argue that they aren't one of the bigger Premier League clubs. Lovely ground too.

GoldGigsChris Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Big kudos to WAWAW's post on their forum, as below. Anyone owning up to this post? Well done my friend. The ticket prices are generally unpopular. Last season our average attendance was only 21,000 which taking into account our performances was low. We'd have expected 24-25,000. However, it does seem to have made people realise that if they want to go at a reasonable price they need a season ticket. 20,000 season tickets is good and even they are one of the most expensive in the division. The ticket prices for Sunday are ridiculous really. Especially as it is on Sky. Villa fans are understandably unhappy about £42 but that is also the cheapest ticket for Wednesday fans. £42 on the kop, £45 on the North, £49 on the South. It looks like there will be 30,000+ which for a Sky match with those prices is a reasonable effort. The disappointment is reasonable prices would have produced a sell out no problem. Personally, I see these prices as a consequence of parachute payments and FFP. No offence intended but parachute payments were not designed so that a relegated club can spend £12million on a striker. They have created an uneven playing field and FFP further compounds it. Therefore, to spend money to compete whilst complying with FFP, high ticket prices seem like the only option for the clubs with no parachute payments. Whilst it is not good for visiting fans, Wednesday fans bear the brunt as we have them every week. Therefore, whilst understanding the sentiment when fans say they should charge Wednesday fans the same in the return match, it seems awfully unfair on us. As for the badge, I loved our badge. I might be biased but I thought it was one of the most widely recognised badges by other clubs. Dont even get me started on the removal of stripes from the home shirt.

Apart from Dave who is like a bull in a china shop when it's lumped to him, but still has some nice footwork on the odd occasion our other players realise he's crap in the air and play it to his feet.

ViolaOwls Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 My only beef with villa is this ticket issue. What are we supposed to do. Have no money to compete whilst the elite league get fatter wallets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate Villa are a huge club and up until recently were one of the biggest prem clubs. They are bigger than Everton, Chelsea and Tottenham IMO. They are certainly the biggest club in this division and yes that includes us, Leeds and Newcastle. Think about the size of Birmingham, 2 million plus people and Villa are the main club in that region. I also think we will beat them tomorrow but, don't be daft in thinking that are a nothing club because they were s*ite last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
