No dilly-dallying today, Michael.

Where are we starting off with who is talking first?

Should start, Villa?

Fairly low-key stuff from Villa, to be perfectly honest.

They were generally happy to have equalised, not happy to have drawn, but whatever,

seemed to be the gist of it.

So we'll start

with Villa on tour, because this was, this is just notable, because this was Villa's first

3pm home gaming over a year. I know we, I know we moan about this. They've been in Europe, haven't been showing off? Yeah, if you're going to be in Europe, you've got to take your medicine, I'm afraid.

So how did the club

treat this monumental event?

Just want to mention

ticket prices today.

I know it's really boring.

I don't really want to talk about it. It annoys me talking about it, but it's got to be spoken about. Villa today have categorised this as a category three game, which is the highest category it can be for a Premier League football match. Their sort of excuse for this at the start of the season was it was always going to be category three against top of Premier League sides and specific kickoff times. Leeds United is not a top Premier League side. And are we really saying that Saturday 3 o'clock justifies mental ticket prices, the highest that can possibly possibly be? No, just for context then, to sit where me and Jamie sit in K-4 of the

upper halt today, members or general people, not us, because obviously we've got a season

ticket, 77 pounds against Leeds United. And people moaned about the atmosphere. I think

that's the main reason why we are struggling with atmosphere. People can talk about initiatives

and flags and the 1897 group who are doing amazing things, but the fact tickets that expensive, it's not great at all. Ouch! Jesus. Yeah, I'd look this up as well because I was like, oh, maybe they're like the very best seats. They're not even the very best seats. That's the mid-range one. So the lowest price anyone paid in that stadium just buying a ticket was £71.
