The Aston Villa v Cardiff City (away) match thread

Terry Chester and Hutton should be more than enough to cope in the air with their direct threat, samba was a liability we can't afford to gift them goals.

.......................Johnstone

Hutton.......Chester.....Terry.........Taylor

Elmo.......Onomah......Whelan..........Green

..................o'hare
.................................Hogan
 
Another piss take from the club with people still not having their tickets - which century are they living in?

Mine came yesterday.

All is good.

Still seems late though. Doesn't leave much time to sort out any issues.

I am guessing you haven't got Reading tickets yet then ?. I haven't and was going to ring ticket office.
 
Johnstone

Hutton
Chester
Terry
Taylor

Elmo
Whelen
Lansbury
Onomah
Gabby

Hogan


Basically same a v Hull but Onomah in for Bacuna.

Tempted with Green or O'Hare in for Gabby but Green has been very disappointing for me so far. Not living up to the hype at all, and with O'Hare I think we just need to ease him in gently.

Plus we played very well first half against Hull, so hoping for more of the same from that side with a few more chances taken.
 
4-0 to the mighty Villa with Warnock's head exploding as the 4th goes in!

Boooooo.
 
Congratulations Aston Villa - what a fecking cock up !!!!

Tickets havent arrived (also checked with 3 mates who purchased seperately and only 1 has arrived).

Cant pick them up from Villa Park (not that I fancied a 4hr round trip) as they havent got them so are trying to organise with Cardiff to pick them up there.

Therefore

A Face the trip to Cardiff not knowing if we will get them

B even if they are, what the queues gonna be like, if 1 in 8 of us have got tickets that means queues of around 3500 !!!!!!!!

Really am annoyed about this. I said it from hour 1 of this system it wasnt wirking abd got ridiculed on here.

The worrying thing is, i presume i aint getting Reading tickets either.

Great start to my day back in the UK.

Will be asking for compensation for this !
 
Calm down Holtelower , you will make yourself ill.

Last season for whatever reason my Rotherham tickets hadn't come. I only realised this as I was getting ready to leave for the game.

I rang the ticket office and the arranged for them to be picked up at Rotherhams ground. No drama no problem and no inconvenience.

My Cardiff tickets came yesterday btw.

Ring them and sort it out instead of worrying about what may or may not happen.
 
My dad has rang them. They have no idea what is happening. They are "trying " to sort it with Cardiff.

You say calm down, how would you be driving to Cardiff (and Reading) not knowing if you are gonna get in.

And, how they gonna work this, what is to stop people wlike you who have got tickets going there and saying you havent and giving a duplicate to your mate (or selling it).

Really am pissed off big style , its a sodding cock up, the lot of it.

Bristol C is 14 days away and still no mention of tickets. Dont they fecking realise people have to book time off work, make atrangements etc... if i book the day off and dont get a ticket i will be pissed off big style. I have 4 days to last me til April if i waste one i will not be happy
 
You have bought a ticket , with proof it is not a problem.Like I said it happened to me last year and it was sorted no problem and that was 10 minutes before I left for the game.

If Bristol City haven't given us details of the arrangements the n what can we do about it ?

 
1 person turning up at Rotherham is not the same as potentially 3500 turning up at Cardiff and Reading @

Sorry sirden , its very well you saying "dont worry" when you are one of the few lucky ones.

I am just about to board a plane having cut my holiday short by two days to go to a game tgat tge club couldnt be botheted sending me the ticjets for.

Utterly appalling and (as you know) was totally predictable because (as i said at 9.10 the morning it started) the system does not work !
 
Chill baby , you will get your tickets , cardiff ones came last week. If I have to collect reading tickets at Reading cool , no problem.
Go with the flow baby.
 
Cardiff tickets arrived this morning as I thought they would. Reading haven't arrived as yet but they will do and even if they don't I'll ring the ticket office and I'm sure they'll be courteous and helpful as they always have been in the 50 years I've been supporting the club. If they have to be picked up at Reading what's the problem? I have bought my tickets, I have a receipt and I'll be enjoying an away day on Tuesday as I always do ( invariably to kick off, then it often deteriorates....!) and certainly won't be getting myself wound up into a frenzy over something so trivial!

They really should be postponing the games for your return.

Sorry thought I had read that you were also waiting for Reading tickets as well as Cardiff
