Definitely on a Saturday, although it was a bank Holiday weekend. We played QPR on the following Monday. And the away support was big as it was a relegation six pointer and they had just brought their golden boy back to the club. Butler was in goal that day. I can't actually recall us playing West Ham at home in midweek in my time going to Villa Park.
Good point there Damo. The only time I can recall playing at home v W Ham was a Monday night at the beginning of the 1999-2000 season, when we somehow contrived to lose the ball in their half with a few seconds to go and they ran up the pitch and equalised.
