No contact. They took the initial payment for what I grabbed, and the overcharge/difference just sat as pending payment in my account. It then took them a week to refund it back to me.
Maybe wait a week, and if nothing contact the club.

Answer the question you tripe-talking-turnip, are the people sat to the right of the block of hi vis jackets (a lot in the claret of villa!) as we view that picture the away fans area?
I thought yesterday was a lot better than the Brighton game - from someone who sits in the lower south
I got into the concourse about 25 mins before KO and it never felt too crowded, whereas it did the previous game
Was able to go the toilet and get out within about 90 seconds, if that. Was very swift.
The through pass system worked well and was flowing smoothly. I didn’t spring for the 7 quid sausage roll, but there was plenty of food being cycled in, drinks stocked, and all that good stuff
The only real issue I have is how long it takes to get out after the game. People taking it very slow leaving their seats and then the gates outside end up like a choke point. They need to lower the bollards in the middle of them and probably create some sort of flow system (if you’re going left to Sandhills, use this gate, right to town use another etc)
But I’m sure that’ll be fixed

south stand:
I can see what's going on here: the club have hired a load of extra stewards to get people into an unfamiliar stadium and when that job is done they're clicking their heels and so enter the stadium to watch the match. That's all well and good (for them) until it becomes an accessibility issue for the people the bays are designed for.
Needs sorting.
The other thing is it looks like we have a big safety issue with a load of hi-viz jacketed stewards and mooching coppers milling about all over the stadium.

Would age with the exit through the dock wall after, literally a slalom once through, those exiting the south east Gap going to Sandhills, versus those exiting the middle or NE Gap going south to town... exhausting tbh

thing is it’s not a serious issue, I reckon 99.9% of normal people haven’t really noticed or cared how many stewards there are or care where they are stood.
I find it really weird the things you find to moan about!
Pretty sure it was £8 in the upper East.£7 sausages rolls???? @Connor ? I’m feeling me kecks with pound bakery before I step foot in that place

Nice change of pic.
I'm no fan of the constabulary, their job is to watch the crowd and anticipate and be prepared for any trouble. They are there to liaise with ground security and staff to manage and mitigate any and all issues that may arise. This new pic provides us with 3 hi-vis in the press border between pitch and stands. 10 hi-vis in the accessible area and associated entrance exit. What does the law require for stewarding of stairs/entrances?

It's a disgrace Bry, sneaking in to the game for free under the guise of working. Taking hard earned tickets out of the mouths of peoples children.
Shambles.

I dont think so. Roma game...minimum of 2 in the vormitory (not bay):
...now you will find stewards there later on in the Roma game in large numbers too in the bay...but that just proves they're not there to escort the disabled in any way shape or form. They're just getting a game in.

Yes, Goodison Park isn't a very acoustically efficient stadium, but what it did have was everyone right on top of the action in a very tight envelope, making it a very responsive bearpit when circumstances demanded/dictated it.... (of course in the days of terracing and the old Goodison Rd Terrace woth standing and sitting on all sides with an almost 80,000 capacity), it was on another level. But it never really had that large archetypal single tier kop (pardon the expression), to act as the main generator of chants and engine room for general atmosphere, to project around the whole stadium. At BMD/HD, the South Stand is supposed to perform that role.... and to some extent it certainly does that, but the roof geometry isn't ideal for it. Its acoustic "catchment" is depreciated by it being slightly upturned and quite separated from the upper tier below. It's also further slightly reduced because the stand is so steep, taking the roof even furthrr away from those standing in the lower tier. At 60-63 rows, it is also not particularly big by the standard set by the south tribune at Dortmund, which it is supposed to emulate. I sit just above the lower tier in the SW corner. I could see lots of the fans there trying to get things going, but being so distant from the roof it was to little effect. Of course when the chants started in the upper tier they spread far more effectively and upper and lower were in greater unity.... and when that happens, it is loud. Hopefully this will develop.
All that said, the "Whole stadium" acoustics are really good, with the barrel roof and the angled wrap around corners really helping to contain the whole stadium noise, to help ensure that when the place does get going, it really is thunderous.
