Villa are a bigger prospect than Wolves and Blues for WBA.

West Bromwich Albion have rated there game with Villa a much bigger game than there local derby with Wolverhampton Wanderers and there other Midlands derby against Birmingham City.

The Baggies have split there games into 3 different sections, with three different price ranges – very much like Villa do at Villa Park.

Villa have been put in the highest group along with Liverpool and Manchester United while the two derby games are only in the second group along with games against the likes of Everton and Chelsea.

I can understand why they have done this in one way because they know that Villa will sell there allocation regardless, so they would want to make maximum profit from the game, while Blues have struggled to sell there home tickets against us in the past two derbies because of apparent high prices.
