@WestHam_Central @AVFCOfficial Course it was worth it

Hate you @AVFCOfficial. Hope you're Champions League qualification and European Cup were worth it, dickheads. Xx

@joeoneill00 If your happy being a blues fan and not winning anything then that’s upto you isn’t it, how long since your last trophy 🏆?

They could go and win champions league next season and id still never wanna be one of them, last few days have shown just what freaks they are

@SerMM91 A family behind me fly in from Ireland 🇮🇪 every home game, we are a massive club

Most people in Birmingham support United or Liverpool - that’s the honest truth. Blues have pockets of the south, Villa pockets of the north and Solihull is mixed.

@RichyRi28081938 Only if Villa finish 5th

Bournemouth haven’t lost for 17 games and a point tomorrow takes them Into the champions league… phenomenal achievement… would love to ruin it tho with a win tomorrow! #nffc 💨

@BCFC @BellinghamJude Made in Halesowen

A special talent, made in Birmingham. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙 @BellinghamJude

And #THFC had 250,000 fans, yet Villa fans genuinely believe they are a bigger club than us! 🤣😭 Don’t EVER compare us to Aston Villa…

@NUFCgallowgate Imagine Sunderland doing the double over Newcastle, now that made my season

😂

@1875KC @Walmley_Villa 100,000 went to the parade, don’t forget all the other 40,000 fans still suck in Istanbul For being so short notice that’s amazing

@Walmley_Villa Hopefully, its the first time you showered in years you scruffy bastard

Did you lot know there was an open bus parade?

@villareport @J_Tanswell Isn’t that kind of obvious?

🚨 Ollie Watkins had told those close to him that his target was to go on a goalscoring run which would propel Aston Villa over the line both in pursuit of Champions League football & in Istanbul. @J_Tanswell #avfc

@BCFC Pride of Birmingham

There really has never been a more exciting time to be Blues. Birmingham, forever forward. 🔵

@HammerBoyzz @ReelHammerz To

@HammerBoyzz @ReelHammerz Champions league clubs should have never been able to drop down from champions wto Europa league, how the hell is that fair joining a competition they should never have been in

Funny how soon as they change the format for European competitions that more teams start winning Just like Spurs, once again, handed a trophy

@avfcbreaking The stadium holds 42,684 approximately, where is the other 37,000 seats coming from ?

There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there. Not anymore. When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients. The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination. Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours. And supporters are expected to accept it. UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it. The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves. A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up. And UEFA wonders why resentment grows. Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory. Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games. The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation. UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist. But that would mean sacrificing revenue. And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument. #AVFC #scfreiburg

@avfcjosh_ @AVFCOfficial @premierleague Says you?, if we get to final it may well be changed to the Friday

@AVFCOfficial @premierleague If we don’t do through to the Europa league final then this isn’t our time spot. If we make it through to the final. It’s Friday 15th, 8:00PM

A new kick-off time has been confirmed for our @PremierLeague clash with Liverpool in May 🗞️

@Lumley09 @avfcglobal @AVFCSupport Don’t sell beer downstairs for the game??

@avfcglobal @AVFCSupport Nah, just the top tier! They can't get beer up there!

🎟️ Aston Villa can confirm ticket details for our UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg at Nottingham Forest. ℹ️ Further information can be found by clicking on the link below. ⬇️ avfc.co.uk/news/2026/apri… #AVFC

@PapaHogshaw @AVFCSupport We need to plan the stadium better then don’t we

@AVFCSupport Frustrating, but incredible how many fans don't understand the 5% European rule. We can't just give them the bottom tier 😂. We HAVE to give them 5% minimum. So 2.1k or thereabouts

@jo3cunnington @AVFCSupport Possibly the Friday night so 15th like spurs and man united did last season

@AVFCSupport What day is it changing to

🚨 Fans are advised that, due to our progression to the semi-finals, on-sale dates for Villa's Premier League visit of Liverpool on Sunday, May 17 will be delayed by one week. #AVFC

@AVFCSupport What’s the point when you can take bags in?

🎒 Aston Villa is now operating a bag drop facility for all fixtures played at Villa Park. The bag drop facility is located on our Witton Lane car park where Witton Lane meets Station Road. The storage fee is £5 per bag and you can find out more information and register your bag(s) at villa.dropmybag.co.uk. #AVFC

@PaulBra57828702 @avwfclionesses @AVFCSupport @AVWFCOfficial If you want to the theatre you’d have to make an account and they’d be asking for your name and address, no different

@avwfclionesses @AVFCSupport @AVWFCOfficial Not surprising that people are walking away from the game ,can’t just get up in the morning and take your son to a game,Need fan id supporters id .. name address bank details. And if you can’t make the game you could give a friend the season ticket.. it’s a game of football fgs .

🎟️ Supporters’ names and Fan ID numbers will be displayed on each PDF ticket. External “soft” ticket checks will take place before entry at the turnstiles, located just after crossing the bridge onto the forecourt for Block I. 🪪 We strongly advise all supporters to carry a valid form of photo ID that matches the name on their ticket. Under French law, individuals are required to carry identification, and this may be requested in the event of any discrepancies or random checks to verify that the ticket holder is the named supporter on the ticket. #AVFC
