Guest antz1uk Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Took the boy on Tuesday for the first time and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Mentioned to a few on here about how he's drifting away from football and if we weren't careful he'd either not like it or just start supporting Chelsea or City or someone like that so I had to get him into Newcastle and thankfully he's now got the bug. I walked out of Cardiff on 60 mins and hadn't even considered going back until the situation with the boy was coming to a head. I take him to the pictures, bowling, museums etc and Tuesday night was very little different tbh. Was pleased with what I saw, opposition wasn't great obviously, but it was a world away from what drove me away in 2013. I'll see how it goes for the next season or 2, odd game here or there and if he's still into it and the club is being run the way I think it should be then I'll commit and get us a ST. More for him so he can enjoy the roller-coaster but the green shoots are there imo. I've been exactly the same, I got fed up, stopped and the Nairn starting supporting Liverpool, got him back from the brink in that infamous 5th season then he lost all interest like me, even at 12 he couldn't stand it and Pardew, now he has a bit interest in tempted to get him back among it. Tho I i'll wait until Xmas to see how things go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho I i'll wait until Xmas to see how things go It's a valid point like. The club needs young fans to get the bug and follow the team. Massive amounts of disenchantment and apathy will only serve to kill an entire generation's support. Really encouraged to see loads of kids there on Tuesday, there's hope yet.

Scoot Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Here they are having a pop at Villa fans for having empty seats inside Villa Park yet they'll happily start a thread after they've had 12,000 empty seats (last week) praising their own support. ;D They praise their own support every week despite thousands of empty seats yet criticise others for doing exactly the same thing baring in mind they regularly have the most empty seats in their ground, in the whole league. ;D http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/villa-support.1125189/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 They had 14,000 in midweek with tickets priced at £10/£5. Villa charged more and had 21,000. They get good league crowds because their tickets are dirt cheap and they give loads away, something they've done ever since they moved into the SOS. If they charged similar admission fees for league games as the likes of Villa do they would get smaller crowds than Villa. Remember seeing their accounts a couple of seasons ago which showed their average revenue per seat was 15 quid. Think ours was £27 and we certainly aren't one of the most expensive teams to watch. Never understood their mentality of praising each other for doing something they want to do mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 are there any matchday income figures available for them for the past few seasons, compared to other clubs and attendances? would be fascinated to see that considering the amount they're supposed to give away and how cheap they're supposed to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 2014 Gate receipts £15.8m vs Aston Villa's £12.8m so they probably do have reasons for mentioning Villa. Look into it into more detail though Villa average attendance - 36,081 Sunderland average attendance - 41,090 I think these are Premier League only but I'm too lazy to type every single gate including cup into Excel and average it out. Villa played 20 games at home and Sunderland played 26 games at home. Average ticket price is £14.24 for the mackems and £17.74 for Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
