As per the uefa website:

Any changes of date and fixture reversals will be communicated in writing to the clubs and national associations by 18:00 CET on 8 August.

https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/draws/

So surely it should have been communicated already if it's getting switched?

Hi all friendly Villa fan here. We'll give you guys 2500 to 2800 tickets which is the normal allocation looking at the ticket map. Villa currently have 30000 Season Tickets and then 20-30000 members who have second priority. There won't be any tickets free to buy in the home end on general sale as is normal currently the team sells out pretty much every home game hence planned stadium extension to 50/55k. Hope we draw you guys and any questions regarding the game or area feel free to ask.

Hello mate, and welcome aboard. We aren't through yet, but fingers crossed we meet in the next round. Should it happen, it's unthinkable (to me at least) that we would beat Villa over two legs, but it would be a terrific occasion.

All the best for the season. A few posters on here follow Villa as their English team.

We lost in 09/10 and 10/11 both times to Rapid Vienna on away goals so stranger things have happened. I would say Villa have a better manager this time though 😄

Think yous will only get around 1000 which is the 5%. Hotels will be a nightmare for yous as festival on. 6 hours or so by supporters bus isn't too bad in English terms I suppose though.

Think thousands more will travel down than can get tickets so boozers will be needed. It's hibs though so you might get Swiss visitors.

Many hibs fans with villa soft spot due to Super. Few others previously Des Dremner, Alex Cropley, De La Cruz, Burridge, Agatha, Holt, Willie Hamilton, Willie Groves villa made the first £100 player

Villa would likely get the full Dunbar end, 3800 tickets. Its a minimum of 5%, not maximum.

And they certainly do understand !:agree:

Villa have had some Hibs heroes over the years.
Willie Hamilton, Alex Cropley, Des Bremner .
3 that would be worth a fortune now in the terms top English teams throw their TV cash around !
Now they have a hero in SJM ,who they bought for sweeties .
Makes ye mad,eh ? !!
As our song goes...

Why would it be silly? We’d sell that extra allocation for a game vs Villa to our own supporters no bother. I’m happy enough to lose a few rows of seating to segregation if it means more of our fans get a ticket.

Once we consistently sell out home and away for a season or more (which we wont), then we will be in a position to start cutting allocations.

It's times like this where some seats in the corners would come in handy.

Yes I assume we won't get a massive allocation but likewise several thousand fans will travel anyway. They've made it quite stringent to get tickets for this game but assume if in theory 6-8k were offered they would be sold out fairly easily.

I remember de la cruz well and Agathe only made maybe 5 appearances after MON signed him after he was released from Celtic.

In terms of pubs the city centre has the most around I'd personally recommend Jewellery Quarter if you are staying in the centre. Sutton Coldfield is a nicer area on the side of city Villa Park is located. The area around the ground is quite diverse and not many locals drink round there so they wouldn't be many pubs matchday.

Totally agree, think we'd comfortably sell 18k+ at ER

If the 2.8k away tickets for villa park is correct (6% so pretty much the minimum) - then I'd be looking to come to a % arrangement with villa, ie they can get 10% at ER, we get 10% down there

Why? So one game wonders can turn up then disappear again? Then the next week we are back to 14-15k fans at home including the away support.

We're talking a one off tho. Demand for this would be massive.

Subject to getting throuh obviously.
