Marc505 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Lots of Villa floating around outside it tonight, think its quite visible once you get near Lofthouse statue so some try their luck. Enjoyed it in there tonight decent atmosphere but that queue is taking piss, second bar opening will make a big difference. As will winter 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the knobheads going in from both home and away . Villa a different kettle of fish to Wycombe I'd say. And the nature of our day down there a few seasons ago would have made a difference too. Wouldn't fancy having mixed home and away support in our fanzone, it's for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thousands of Villa fans all knocking around McDonald’s, KFC etc before the game. Don’t disagree with keeping the fan zone as home only - we’ve waited long enough after all - but there must be a way of monetising the (sensible) away fans other than trying to get them in the ground early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Surely a similar set up for away fans is possible. Or opening up earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 24, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2022 Take a look at Beehive prior to the big games. Saturday and last night would have massive takings. It only applies a few games each season but why would Bolton Wanderers not want to tap into that? The smaller, non-rival clubs could certainly share the space we use. What’s going to kick off against Forest Green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s going to kick off against Forest Green? Agree though they'd have to go back to categorising the matches. Its mixed at west brom and never encountered issues there. Runs the risk of getting swamped with away fans... they already have prime parking and access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I’m not into making it a nice visit for away fans but I guess that’s the way it’s going now all family geared up With the fanzone it’s not as much staff numbers it’s how competent, few last night didn’t have a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Away fans should have their own set-up, like we did at Wycombe. I don’t particularly want to have a drink with 500 Derby fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree you wouldn't want it swamped with away fans, but Derby are probably the only team that will bring much over 1k for the rest of the season. We've been spoiled with these 2 big home games, it was like being in a higher division for a week, but we're back to 500 away fans every game so "away fans in fanzone" is irrelevant for 4 months.
