Sorry Mutt_Man only just seen this.
I don't think it is going to be good news. They've explained that the PL have new requirements (and obv they pay £180m so they have the power to ask and demand).
They've gone back to the PL to try to get them to agree other seats (I've made it clear I don't want others moved instead of me, that wouldn't be nice for me to do!) but I don't think it is going to happen, having had a few conversations.
It is for all broadcasters apparently, as said, new PL requirements. Sod the fans who used to be the bread and butter.
If it was for stadium improvements, VAR requirements or other logical reasons, I'd get it, I'd be upset at moving from my lovely Villa mates, but that is life. But for this? After all the years, money spent etc, I'm not at all chuffed.
I think the club are doing what they can, but PL have the power and lets be honest, to them we are just an inconvenience.
I could move across the way, but frankly I don't want to, why should it, the broadcasters won't be there at most games but the fan who has been there for 3 million years still needs to move for them.
Was just talking to a member of staff and he said he watches on match days and sees different people, including staff, coming for a chat with me. It's always been like that, I love it there.
So for me, I'll either sell out and go into the hospitality or buy a new armchair!
