Villa's pricing for their Champions League group games has been announced: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/september/04/champions-league-ticket-details/ £85 to £97. You'd have to pay me more than that to go to the Midlands.
This was their big FFP gamble. Bet the house on getting CL football. They got it, but prize money alone isn't enough to fill the hole in their deficit. So they're gambling again that their fanbase will pay up to and including a pound of flesh to watch CL football for the first time in a lifetime, to bring in much needed money.
I think they may have outdone Levy this time. Doubled the price of disabled parking: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sp...-news/aston-villa-spark-more-outrage-29882712 Just a reminder that Villa are owned by V Sports, which is a 40/40/20 split between Nassef Sawiris, Wes Edens and a US investment firm. Sawiris is worth $9.6bn and Edens is worth $2.6bn. They'd really miss £190 a year on that parking spot. The ****s.
Edens definitely did, starting off at Lehman Brothers, moving to Blackrock and then making a fortune from subprime lending. Sawiris inherited a lot of his wealth, as is tradition.
They’re doubling the price of disabled parking and we’re doing our best to wean out the concessions. Almost as if clubs give little care to the more vulnerable these days so long as they get their cash. Pure scum.
While I think villa are a disgrace for the CL pricing I feel priced out of games against the bigger teams. The Cheapest non concession tickets for the NLD were £70. That's scandalous.
Mrs Conn and me picked our 4yr old grand daughter up from school yesterday, this was her 1st week and a classroom assistant came out with her, when the class were asked what their favourite music was GD said ...........The Grateful Dead and the classroom assistant and teacher had never heard of them, I think she came out to see the satanic worshipping grandparents, we will be sending in the GD to school in tie dyes and sandles smelling of herb
Funnily enough, back when I was in school we had that one PSE lesson about alcohol (genius thing to suggest to 15 year olds, that...) and my teacher had never heard of some of the stuff I'd drunk by 15, such as raki On the plus side, this was one of the few occasions at my school that it wasn't concerning that I knew more on a subject than my teachers did. Well, for me anyway...
