Barrow v Aston Villa

[mr_grey]

Unfortunately .its not possible to sell tickets when the date has not yet been announced. And then there will be priorities on who gets first go at buying...online I guess , before online general sale. So Exeter game I'm guessing may not be available for open sale. Also the little matter of a game away at Harrogate to sell tickets for plus all the rest of organizing around a potential 5.5k crowd and as someone already mentioned those who attended the sunderland and middlesborough game that will reappear for 1 night only

That's why we have full time staff for these kind of things and if tickets aren't organised and on sale by next week I'd be surprised

£10 a year, priority tickets after season ticket holders and helps the trust keep the 10%(IIRC) of the club - Become a member -> https://bluebirdstrust.co.uk/product-ca ... mberships/

Trust Members have been sent a GDPR waiver to allow the Trust to share your personal information with the club.

If members haven't signed this then there is no way for you to be on a priority list.

Only circa 200 of 700 members have completed this since it was sent a few weeks ago. Recommend that people do this as soon as possible.

Guessing cut off would have been 10pm last night..

Ticketing structure should go as follows all being well

Season ticket holder - Saturday Sunday
Trust members - Monday Tuesday
Those who can show a Exeter ticket/enter a valid code - Wednesday Thursday Friday
Open sale

If the club don’t incorporate some kind of priority for those who attend Exeter next Tuesday then they have missed a trick

Deffo agree with this

Can you buy a priory ticket as a season ticket holder and a second priority ticket as a trust member?

Think it's 10% minimum allocation for away fans in Carabao Cup, but dependent on segregation and police advice it can be bigger. Essentially, if you have an area that holds 700 fans securely, you'd give the away team all of it rather than trying to give them 550 and segregate the other 150..

Why should we ?

Because we.would need to provide a sterile area between fans so it would probably reduce the capacity overall and therefore reduce income too.

For the first couple of days there should be a rigourous questionnaire on the website's ticket page to weed out the "only a Barrow fan for the big games" lot. For example:

1) What was Paul Cox's favourite word?
2) What make and model is the famous Casson boiler?

Excellent idea, I fully expect the club to utilise the Villa fixture to maximise crowds for the next 2 games. This is golden opportunity for the club to increase attendances.

Good to hear positive and decent contributions from a few Villa supporters. Best wishes to you for your season but not in the Carabao cup!

Thank you. Although I would not like to have another game to play (want to concentrate of the league). It would be great if the game was drawn and we took you back to Villa Park. 42,000 is the stadium and about 5,000 Barrow fans too. That is what Cup football is all about. At an average of 20 quid a ticket that would be worth about 400k to Barrow. Throw in TV rights and other sales and you guys could pocket half a million for a replay. This would be on top of the 150k/200k you get for the first game

The game is decided over 1 leg. If drawn at 90 mins penalties decided

Not talking about me are you spirit!!! I'm no Villa fan. But if we win I will taunt my wife's family mercilessly for years to come.

On away allocation I think the away club can have more than they would have for a normal league match. Been to a lot of league cup games and that always happens. Think Rochdale took about 7 to 8000 to Old Trafford a couple of years ago. It's not a problem for the big clubs to accommodate loads of away fans especially in the early rounds. Not sure how that will apply to Barrow though. Just have to wait and see. Hence we might have no option but to give over the Holker St End like it or not. And yes Villa will fill their allocation they have a vibrant large away support.

"Hence we might have no option but to give over the Holker St End like it or not".

Giving up the Holker End would mean Furness folk missing out on this big occasion, possibly even poor souls who have stuck with the club through thick and thin !!.
Don't talk bollox man for gods sake.

So I guess you must know the answer to no.2)?



I know the answer to no.1). I guess that makes me half-saaaaaad!

That's a pity. I guess u are going to have to win it on the night so

Aston Villa are a credit to the Premier league giving up the chance for shirt sponsorship revenue and having
the Acorn Children's Hospice on their shirts from 2008 till 2010 and I believe they still are associated with them

I was there in 1981 when Kev Thomas was in goal wearing his 'Super Tele' shirt, which I found out later at Willie Hornes, was actually a St Etienne home kit!

Do I pass the test?
