Villa away day army

Rumour control has it that the Villa are taking 6,000 down to the Cottage on Saturday. We sold out our allocation ages ago, but Fulham have a neutral section next to the away fans and guess what? We've bought the lot!
At ?30 a throw and if the rumour is true, that's terrific! With support like that it should make any player proud to wear the shirt, let's hope it gets us the right result.
It seems the 3 week break has left all of our throats dry and we can't wait to see the boys put on a show. I hope Randy is taking notice, O'Neill will certainly love it when we out-sing the 'Chelsea overspill' home crowd.
Let's be honest, Fulham away isn't the most exciting of fixtures but the fans are behind the team 100%. I just hope that with the current talk in the media about price cutting for next season, our Mr Lerner takes action and reduces costs for the fans.
Not that Villa Park is dear compared to other Premiership teams, but I'm sure a reduction would see a full house more often. Fans pay a hell of a lot over a season and I believe it's time for all clubs to address the situation.
Up the Villa! Up the Randylution and happy birthday Martin!

The rest of our part of the ground (including neutral) sold out a couple of days before your away allocation did, why would villa fans buy tickets in another section when they still had their own section available? They didnt thats why! The neutral section has mainly gone to kids and their parents from londonas the club are doing a special promotion for this game. Im not saying 3000 isnt a good away attendance (certainly better than we could muster for the game earlier this season) but try to check your facts when reporting on "rumours".
Its me frist away game and it should be a lively one if weve taken the full lot.
I tried to get a ticket in the neutral end and that sold out before I could! It's going to be an amazing atmosphere!
