Would relegation be that bad?

[Benny_Lad]

How much would season tickets cost? Surely they’d be reduced?

Still think the cutoff for away games will be stupidly high as everyone will want to see new grounds.

Imagine Arsenal win the quadruple and we go down.

And West Ham stay up at our expense.

Has anyone ever been to Preston before? That could be fun? Maybe Lincoln too, combine it with a tour round the minster and see the magna carter

Given how we fared against Tamworth last season I’d be worried.

 

[paxtonwolf]

As much as there might be (would be) match-going positives about it, we simply can’t afford to drop down. Plus it’s in no way guaranteed we’d come straight back up as we did before.

This. Absolutley no given to come back up. Would be an absolute disaster if we go down

Last time it happened we only just scraped promotion back to Division One

@GutterBoy

We did Preston a few years ago in the League Cup, think it was the same season we played Doncaster away, IIRC we scored 5 in both games

- Cheaper and more plentiful tickets
- Less subscriptions to pay to legitimately watch games on tv
- Drop in value of club would stir interest of potential buyers, so more chance that Connie and Fredo will bugger off
- Chance for a deep structural clean and refresh - it seemed to do Villa good long term
- New brochure of exotic away trips

I could get on board with this i think

Any more upsides?

Connie and Fredo

It's a tough one.
There is a good argument it was a well needed reset for Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine and, to a lesser degree West Ham. Perhaps Leeds in there too?

Obviously best to, ya know, not be that brick

Villa would have been fudged if they hadn’t got promoted at the second attempt. No guarantee we would come back up. Every team would come to our shiny ground and want to beat us.

Yes

 

[DTA]

Levy would come in and buy back the club at half price

Ok… I’m listening.

 

[Welshspur60]

Very real chance we will go down. Wham keep narrowing the gap. We have a threadbare squad and dont ever look like winning a league game. Will be an absolute disaster for sure.

 

[mjc23]

SERIOUS. RELEGATION. FEARS.

 

[Finney Is Back]

Good to see that some of you are finally cottoning on….

I always thought Levy wouldn't be appreciated until he was gone, but didn't expect it to unravel this quick.

Makes you wonder if we were overachieving all these years, second in the PL, CL final. Maybe it's a bit like Charlton and Curbishley, thinking we'd be better off without him.
