the match day experience (30 Viewers)

[Gustavo38]

Football fans choose their games, they always have. Some weeks there used to be 10000 walk-ups. Other weeks it was just the die hard fans.


The Villa game in this cup warrants no additional interest without an incentive. Part with £40/£32 and it is even less attractive.

Add to that the fact that the club had been fairly busy taking our money off us and I can see why there will be 8000-10000 empty seats.

The Brighton game ruined any prospect of the crowd being bigger.

Yeah, especially when you can watch it on Sky. Still think you will get 27000 up there tonight as Villa have sold their allocation.

To be fair thou, people are pissed off before they get to their seat.

Last year: turn up half hour to go, scan card, get to bar, sink a £3.60 pint of Stella, have a piss, go to seat, WLIDITT, COME ON CITY, watch us piss the league.

This season...
Turn up half hour to go, find huge fucking queue for no reason, utter to your mate "it's like they forgot how to scan a qr code haha", get to front of queue, find your ticket has been archived for the 3rd time this week, find qr code as people behind you say to their mates "it's like they forgot how to scan a qr code haha", scan ticket, choose between watered down Carling or watered down Carling in a waistcoat, realise it's £5.80 and blow through teeth similar to a builder doing a quote, you need a piss but now it's 10 to go and pretty close. You rush in to the toilet do your business, run to seat, miss all the fireworks, but you know there has been some because the pitch is now covered in a sulpher ridden fog cloud, you go up stairs while WLIDITT is being sung, get to the seat you've had for years, some jobsworth wants to check you're in the right seat.
It's just such a fucking buzz kill

Here's an idea try getting in 45 minutes before the game starts.

We have just installed a fancy new tunnel. with led screens everywhere. Not sure it will help with match day excpence but guess it will look nice on tv for the 20 seconds its shown

Like the one in the shop?

People have stuff on, kids football, work, clingy misses etc, my normal routine for a Saturday lunchtime kick off are an absolute ball ache, finish work at 11am, drive back from Birmingham, shower, get the old man to drop me off outside the Cherry Tree then walk the rest. I was lucky if I see kick off.
