Villa Consultation - Your Issue Is?

Player issues aren't included, that is all between MON and Randy Lerner.

It is the 25th anniversary of the EUropean cup win next year. What plans, if any, do the club have for honouring our heroes, and, as the architect of it all, although he was no longer with the club at the time, will Ron Saunders be involved in any celebrations/tributes the club may have in mind.

Filling Villa Park, as this will have a direct impact on everything that the future holds. utv-sotc made a very logical point a couple of weeks ago, of how an across the board season ticket of £200 could probably create more revenue, and fill the ground more often than the current pricing structure. Obviously you need to read the article to understand how this would work.

I'm not keen on the lager at villa park can we have a new supplier please preferably Stella.

Better PA system. Will the sale of the Serpentine affect match day parking? If yes, what plans for additional space? Introduce a 'Saturday Season ticket' just for those games that start at 3 on Saturdays that those of us living miles away can attend- perhaps for first 10 3pm games a season?

can we have woodward removed and a real commentator in place. can we have an official Sky site like Chelsea and Man Utd

Very definitely a new improved PA system.

My 3 points are- 1.Improved communication/consultation between Club and fans -suggest Club radio station, internet chat forums etc. 2. Better stadium facilities -eating, drinking and the pa system. 3. More efficient access and departure from ground from car parks? or a mono-rail link to remote parking. The latter point will become more important, if and when attendancies grow to 50,000+

Decent half time entertainment. Randy will be well aware of this, what with all the things that go on during breaks in American sports. Maybe some fit cheer leaders, in skimpy Villa kits?!?!

the browns are one of the only (maybe the only) NFL team to not have cheerleaders, so doubt we will get them here at villa.

So what's got you so wound up voice?

Wound up? Me? Never? But you are a **** storagematt.

I agree with all the points that have been made above however my "bone of contention" and has been for some time, is the badge. It was changed, I think in 1969, (who took over then ..?) to the round one and has since changed twice to the one we have now which, for me and people my age, does not represent the club. This badge/motif/emblem was on the old Trinity Road Stand and was like a symbol of our glorious past, obviously Ellis & Co didn't like it and that went in the skip - what vandalism!! On the badge now we have the lion with an outsized head, the PREPARED is almost hidden within the stripes! This prompts the main question - why stripes? We have been playing in the traditional strip for well over 100 years, until Ellis, Ansell and probably Steve Stride in the early 90's decided in their wisdom to change the kit design to stripes!! They then set about re-designing the badge! For me, the badge is the heart of the club, it's how we and the world will recognise Aston Villa and that's why it is imperative that it should be changed back to the traditional one - let's ditch this stripey nonsense now! RL will do this, he is a supporter of our tradition he just needs to be informed.

will add badge to list, agree the new one is 'nice' but isn't the same as the old lion. My favourite is the round badge and would love to see us use it and the kit of 82 next season as a tribute to our greatest days.

for me, 1) will be done anyway, 2) has to happen with the ban in public places from July. 9) are already being planned,

My favourites are market stalls (see the full idea in the thread, just click the link at the end of this article (or I might cut and paste it below) the badge and the season tickets at a fee to fill the ground and probably generate more money. PA is also rubbish but think other reps will put that forward, + the drab outside etc

Will narrow it down to six and put it in the poll thing for voting. We have to put 3 things forward and rank in importance.

£200 idea from UTV

and my point change the name of doug ellis stand

Newman, I think we all want that done, I've been very vocal on the issue in the press, but reading between the lines that can't be done yet although the issue will be brought up. I think Doug must have got something in the contract of sale to say it remains the Doug Ellis Stand (sic) for a set time. Always the Witton though.

Fear the kit of 82 is a good idea i love that kit it was my first villa top as well.

and if not there should be, It doesn't matter which end our lads score, they should have a field of claret and blue cheering in front of them as they celebrate. UTV

where where jonah?
