@Varticoo This is my ninth! I fell in love with football during USA ‘94 so being back in the states is very nostalgic to me. Just a shame the country is in such a different and frightening place and FIFAs greed is undermining it.

@piersmorgan Shhhh. No PGMOL to help you with this title. You lost it on your own merit. Be proud.

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

Are Arsenal even a big club?

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

@AVFC_Connor_ Yes, that would ama… 🤮. No.

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

It really does feel like the two sides of the club are actively working against each in terms of fan engagement/satisfaction. The playing side is seducing us lovingly as the commercial arm gropes at us greedily while whispering lies in our ears about how much they love us. #AVFC

Increasing 30,000 season tickets by ~£50 nets the club an additional £1.5m

The excuse used is to “support ongoing investment in the playing squad”

Achieving UCL and winning Europa will earn villa ~£85m

Harvey Elliott’s wages for the duration of his loan cost ~£3.4m

Jadon Sancho’s wages for the duration of his loan cost ~£7.2m

Abraham and Alysson signings cost £30m+ in fees alone only to barely play

Aston Villa spent £38.4m on agent fees between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026

Price hikes exist to help the commercial teams achieve arbitrary year-on-year internal target increases rather than having any material impact on “supporting ongoing investment in the playing squad”.

If it had a meaningful impact - why is our manager dealing with the same core of a squad he took over 4 years ago despite hikes every year?

You don’t NEED to increase ticket prices. You WANT to.

Stop meaninglessly punishing match-going fans and get your act together commercially. And stop lying to us about why.

Pocket pinching loyal fans WILL NOT help Aston Villa compete.

@1874TheLions No disrespect to the lad, but he just doesn’t offer enough for the salary cost, at a time when we have to be careful with SCR. I’m sure we can find a cheaper option that would put up better numbers. Wish him all the best, will always be remembered as a part of THAT squad! 🏆

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

@JoshNorris Yeah, unless Rogers undermines us by pushing for a move (i’m not at all suggesting he is/would) we can easily hold out for well in excess of £100m when you consider what other players are being valued at. Personally I think he’ll stay and we’ll get funds via the fringe players.

@Wyres67 @goodreads Oh, absolutely! My all-time favourite book - engrossing and immersive.

Villans, with another exciting campaign on the horizon at Villa Park, we'd like to update you on several key changes to our ticketing approach for the 2026/27 season.

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

@JimmyTheBrummie Take care mate. You have an entire Villa family here that you can lean on. You are never alone.

[Mark Wing @fruggy888]

@Mark_CPFC Clearly audible on MOTD for those pointlessly denying it. Absolutely classless. Good luck for your European final mate!

Wow.. no words to describe how I’m feeling right now. What a journey we have been on together and now again we can call Aston Villa EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!! I never in my wildest dreams thought I would play for a club the size of Villa but to help lead them to a major European trophy makes me the proudest guy alive!! UP THE VILLA 💜💜💜
