My daughter today came home from her school (Pheasey Park Farm) with a great offer from Villa.
I have long argued for Villa to offer tickets to schools as a way of getting kids involved in the club. It is great to see that they have listened to me and introduced the tickets for school offers – LINK.
The offer is for 10 games a season with £2 tickets. Villa are giving 1000 away each game and any monies raised goes to the schools, how fantastic is that ? The letter we have had is in a strong Villa school and imagine the generation of supporters that this will encourage to the game. Obviously parents have to pay but the tickets are heavily reduced and as a season ticket holder it is little problem for me.
Some of the things Villa do off the field are really good. They do so much that actually encourages a lot of new fans and I would like to see them take one further step forward. For next season please do the following
U-12′s – all tickets – £5
U-16′s – all tickets – £10
U-18′s – all tickets – £15
On top of this then make the season ticket prices for the same categories £75, £125 and £200 and I am sure that despite the negativity these offers will be very popular.

I cannot believe it that’s good and about time. The thing is I have two corporate seat and nobody wants them. I remember in the late 70′s when Steve Stride and myself walked around the ground and him saying where are all the fans ? my answer was reduce the value to the ground for kids and pensioners, his answer was gone are the days that the fans through the gate pay the wages , today it matters to the club and the team. Well done…
