Will be up for this but keeping quiet in the west stand lower.

Would say parking anywhere around Oakhill, Trent Vale or Hero Cross if you know the area, 15-20 min walk to the ground there.

Got to see can't think of a more stanger footballer to club fit than Gudjohnson! Do you lot think it's 1999 again with these icelandics?! (wink)

I went to the Stoke game last year and it was bloody freezing.

I hope Fuller gets dropped, he always plays really well against us.

Fuller is outstanding. Our best striker for the last 3 decades and I just hope he isn't marginilised after recent purchases. He's carried us for 4 seasons now, alone, and sods law we get someone decent in he might not play.

SHQ's suggestions are good - doubt you'll get any mither for a night game.

If your ticket prices aren't crazy money will do Villa away this year and a 'meet' in the Bartons. If anyone is near Campbell rd next week The Plough and Gardners Retreat are decent pubs unless you're in a big group. Never seen any trouble down there.

Your forward line is much better than ours.

I think we have a better defence.

promise you it won't be 0-0, especially if we put the outstanding Huth at right back.

the manager doesn't gibbo.  :(

The bloke played 20 minutes against Spurs and was the best player on the park and changed the game.

I think it's because he's a foot too small!

Last season's game was bizarre. 90 minutes of Villa heading away Rory Delap throw ins.

I always thought he looked older than he claimed he was.

I went to your "stadium" the last two years, but, because you can't build things properly and therefore people in the disabled areas spend 95% of the game with their view impeded by people's backs/arses and none of the Villa away contingent are Georgie Thompson, I am not going.

That may be a jokey comment, but it's no laughing matter, it's disgraceful and could easily be rectified with some of the bricks your fans threw at the buses last year!

I didn't care the first year because I had hoped you'd just go back down, sadly, that doesn't look the case....

Gutted i'll miss the atmosphere though....It was cracking

ian,

if I could get you in the home disabled section for$ zip, would you go? Sorry to hear about your time at the Brit mate and if you want to go in another section I could have a word.

Like most new stadia it lacks a lot, although as you say, it can make up for it in sheer, white noise when we have a good wind behind us.*
