A note to all TV channels who cover live football.

Keep a camera on the away end whenever a goal is scored and show the celebrations properly.

Just been made aware of this, an e mail
Sent to @chrisheck76 last week:

Hi I’ve sent the following to Chris Heck, but doubt he will read it

Hi Chris

I wanted to bring to your attention a situation that occurred during the Juventus game.

An elderly gent who sits next to me (Holte upper, row x seat xxx) has been a Villa fan for a long time, I'm sure you can look at Barry's account and see his history. He was at the 82 final, sat watching Villa in Division 3.... it's not relevant but he is also unwell, 5 heart attacks in the last 12 months and cancer. He lives alone and basically Villa is all he has in life, he also goes to the Villa Women's matches too. 

Being elderly he doesn't have a smart phone, so uses a plastic ticket. when it comes to cup games he has to get a ticket printed, he travels to the ground in advance to get this done.

On Wednesday night he turned up to the Juve game and his ticket didn't work. he was given no support and turned away. He called me in tears about this, said no-one was available to help him out, they claimed there was no way of admitting a fan if the ticket doesn't work as I quote "the turnstiles are fully automated and we can't over ride them"

He had to make his way home totally dejected... to add further insult to injury when he called the ticket office they were less than helpful and also refused to refund him on the basis that the match has been played so they wouldn't be able to resell the ticket. I'm not going to go into the morality of £90 tickets... but I do think that morally he should have been refunded. 

He is upset and I'm upset on his behalf, a poorly man gets turned away from a club he's followed since before you or I were born... to be treated that way... 

I hope you can see fit to do well by Barry, to have him in tears on the phone to me was heart breaking...

Regards 

…..

People can come at me all they like for questioning the club off the pitch, but stuff like this is not right and is now common place.

I love this club, I hate seeing stuff like this.

Declan Rice and Jack Grealish on the scoresheet for England.

Oliver Cromwell to come off the bench to get England's third...

@AVFCOfficial The very fact you had to do this was a joke

[Joe Connelly @JoeConn75773448]

@AVFCOfficial Where’s the statement on ticket prices. Hang ur head in shame

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Aston Villa have to generate money for PSR, signings and wages etc, but their #UCL ticketing strategy is iniquitous. Some games are £1 a minute. A lot of clubs raise ticket prices atm but this looks sheer opportunistic greed. It will alienate loyal fans who’ve been behind the team through thick and thin. It will affect the atmosphere. It will stop those fans pushed to the limit from spending at the concessions. Returning to Europe's elite competition should be a time of celebration for Villa fans, not worrying about the cost and whether your club actually cares for you. So much is right about Villa atm, manager, team, etc. But this is a huge own goal by the Board. Read the room. Listen to your fans. #AVFC
