So many in the fanbase is so accepting of shite off the pitch, it's truly shameful.
Well said. I cringe with embarrassment whenever I see someone praise Heck. We are a top 7 and now a top 4 club for the first time in a generation. If we can't deliver better sponsorship now then we never will. Meanwhile he breaks every thing he touches. Has to go.
Agreed. The entire club and wider football world knows the protest would be against the higher powers and the ridiculous ticket prices. If something like a relatively small protest can derail us then we're obviously not as good as we think we are. Obviously I want villa to win every game we go in to, but I'd take a couple of poor home performances if it meant the club stopped with this ongoing trend of pricing certain fans out. Sold out the bayern game now with loads of demand for more. Who's to say the club won't increase Juventus tickets now they know they'll sell out?
If you look into what Chris Heck did at the Philadelphia 76ers from 2013-2022, it was a massive, massive success.

@thejlgamer1480 well done to the Philadelphia 76ers. If you look at what Heck has done to Aston Villa he has probably divided the fanbase more than ever and made it grossly unaffordable for a lot of ordinary fans. Context is important, a basketball team in America is not comparable to a football team in Birmingham. Where do you draw the line at in terms of ticket prices? If the club charge £150 for the knock out round do we just pay it to ensure the club continues to grow?
Great podcast. I don't think you can avoid the ticket prices argument, unfortunately. Will be going to the Bayern game, but nothing else. Which is not how I ever imagined it to be when I dreamed of Villa making it to the Champions League. Even a few weeks ago, there was absolutely nothing in my mind that made me think I wouldn't go to every single home game. Always expected Bayern and Juventus to be pricey, but I just can't justify £80 for a match against Celtic or Bologna.

Heck got the ticket prices spot on. A great opportunity for the club to maximise revenue and he’s taking it. The club need to to keep up with fans expectations.

@@Davies2710 When Chris Heck arrived at the 76ers, they were in trouble and they were failing to reach the community they sat in. 9 years later when Heck left the 76ers, their commercial, branding, merchandise, corparate, and social media side, skyrocketed, and they became a very popular team, in the space of 9 years. Chris Heck was a massive part of that, and a few 76ers fans said to me what a great job Chris Heck did for them in 9 years.
If its not the audio, its the bloody football taking focus off you lads. Sorry it almost feels ritual now to point out some sort of issue with the video each week. Not trying to degrade your efforts or to complain. On another note. I would have to degrade myself and squeez soup from a sponge into my mouth... eat rice with a tooth pic? aint nobody got time for that! And for the terribly flavoured chocolate, wouldn't most people just throw up on it making it twice as bad? I feel violated by that final question haha. great vid as per usual lads!
Super podcast as always lads. 1 question from me. Not being English and having never lived in England, what impact does being based in Birmingham have on PSR, revenue and the ability to attract players? I hear you regularly taking about the London and Manchester clubs having an advantage in this, but why is this the case? Birmingham is the so called second city, so why do Villa struggle when compared to these clubs and regions in footballing monetary terms?
People who live in London earn more (average wage is higher) so every thing is more expensive. Whether it was expensive first so the wages followed or the other way around I don’t know. London is seen as more flashy I suppose as the capital and attractive for players to live in the higher end parts of the city. That’s a rough answer I suppose
@@ClaretBluePod thanks and I get that. There's bound to be a way to promote Villa and the city to be more attractive. Hopefully the on field performances help to do this and make the club as big as it possibly can be
I’m a ST holder, I go to every home game from Devon, I can only go to one Champs league game due to ticket costs, this has really taken the shine off of the on field success. It’s so poor by the club.
A week has passed & I still feel alienated by Heck’s exploitation. Since 1st standing on the Holte in 1969 I’ve been through the great times and a few bad, but have never, ever felt so used as I do presently. This unpleasant feeling is just plain wrong! My pension tells me that somewhere along the line I must recover £60 at the club’s expense; (4 matches@ £15 overcharge) but I will do it in a way that I’m not cutting off my nose to spite my face - certainly not by relinquishing my Champions League seat. What I can guarantee is - Santa will not be loading up at the club shop this Xmas and personally, I will easily do without next season’s shirts. I will not forget. As for the timing of Heck’s statement of ‘apology’ to coincide with his announcement that Bayern is sold out - bit like a pyromaniac extinguishing a fire with a can of unleaded. Aka F.U.
Too late now. But I would have enjoyed watching an episode where you use a match predictor and update the Euro league table on a round by round basis. Ge even more excitement before the Euros start. I think think Euro league will be interesting the format is not something any team has experience with and how it will play out on a round by round basis will be great.
Failing to qualify for the Conference League would be a failure. Failing to reach the play off round of the Champions League would be a failure. I couldn't care less about the FA Cup and League Cup. Winning them does not mean you are the best, and not reaching the final in them renders the entire journey pointless, even detrimental - which is not the case for the CL and PL.
@@Hardspace1979it’s always been the case, just more often than not a team already in the top 6 wins it. United winning it last year means they’re in Europe despite finishing 8th
so you're basing your criticism of the ownership on an accusation (the owners are consciously exploiting fan loyalty) that you aren't sure is actually true?

Guys please stop comparing Villa with the other Prem CL clubs when discussing CL ticket prices. They are well established brands…Villa are not in the same league so prices need to be higher. Maybe in a few years of continued CL appearances Villa can reduce the ticket costs.
at some point we have to pay ,are we expecting the club to justify every decision hey make however unpalatable it is . we want champions league but want to pay championship prices . I hope the demonstration goes with any issues you can be sure the tv will focus on that

I also think in June 2025 they’re going to knock down the North Stand and get a 60,000 Villa Park for Euro 2028, because if it was impossible to redevelop Villa Park to a top bracket stadium, to sort out the frequency of trains, and to redevelop Aston and Witton stations, the 4 people who have joined the board wouldn’t invest, and they wouldn’t get involved.

Your nativity over football finances is embarrassing. Stick to subjects you understand. And if you’ve got to be “serious journalists” and address it, have some balance - bring in someone with a club perspective to debate with.
@@ClaretBluePod fair enough. Probably been harsh on you lads but I’m fed up of hearing this and worried NSWE will pack up and leave - I wouldn’t blame them. Heck has even said that it’s only PSR stopping the owners picking up the slack - what more do you want???

Any news on a 3rd Kit? Hoping it’s something that celebrates the 150 a little more!
from what I've seen it's navy blue with white stripes
Oh! 👍 Where did you see this?
@@DuranDuran-9 i presume it's real as i seen picture of same kit last month
@@DuranDuran-9 I've posted the link but i can't see it like youtube not not showing the message
Eating breakfast and your talking about poo 😐🙃😂
Sorry 🫠
Your nativity over football finances is embarrassing. Stick to subjects you understand. And if you’ve got to be “serious journalists” and address it, have some balance - bring in someone with a club perspective to debate with.
Getting someone on from a football club is never going to happen
@@ClaretBluePod fair enough. Probably been harsh on you lads but I’m fed up of hearing this and worried NSWE will pack up and leave - I wouldn’t blame them. Heck has even said that it’s only PSR stopping the owners picking up the slack - what more do you want???
NSWE aren’t gonna throw the towel in over this, they own a champions league level football club now. Unless Villa *** up again I’m done with talking about ticket prices now in detail
