The Return of astonvilla.wtf
After a bit of a hiatus, astonvilla.wtf is back in your inbox – ready to cut through the parroted social media posts about Aston Villa, with actual supporter-focused insight.
If you’ve had your fill of clickbait, club spin, and fan content that feels more like PR than perspective, and, you can handle the truth, make sure you’ are signed upper subscribed – it’s free.
This issue digs into the return of the PSR panic, a recent Premier League rule-change stakeholder briefing I attended, how Villa’s North Stand build is already shaping future fixtures, and what happened in terms of the supporter consultation around ticket pricing, and how the removal of the 20% resale was secured for Villa supporters.
Plus, for good measure, there’s a little Brum-related Oasis story to round things off.
In the latest AVWTF
- PSR Games & Chelsea Clones – What Villa really learned from Chelsea’s Women’s Team move, and why it matters.
- Premier League Rule Change Briefing – I was in the stakeholder meeting this month. There’s new rules coming in 2025/26 – but I got the chance to discuss what happened at Old Trafford with PGMOL.
- North Stand Knock-On Effects – Why Villa requested two away openers in future seasons… and how it influenced this year’s fixture list.
- Season Ticket Truths – how the season ticket 20% resale fee was scrapped, a hidden finance charge averted, and youth concessions got a price freeze.
- And finally… Noel Gallagher, Birmingham & the First Oasis Record – after an epic Black Sabbath weekend, a further little Brum musical cultural footnote to wrap things up.
