To all those left behind.....

You could always head down to wembley and watch in pubs nearby and soak up some of the atmosphere without actually entering the stadium ?

The thread was intended to reference those who couldn't go rather than those unfortunate enough not to secure a ticket. If I were in the latter catergory I would certainly consider a trip down south.

A long shot, but does anyone know of a pub in Worcester where Villa fans like a jar? Couldn't get to Wembley but it would be nice to watch the game in a place not swimming with Fake 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'.

At the 1977 league cup final there was a banner saying" the chosen few"
How right that was, thousands missed out because the demand was so high for tickets
I'm sure there will be 100,000 Vila fans at Wembley, 35,000 in person the others in soul
And we sing our hearts out for the lads

I was there for the 2010 semi, and the atmosphere was incredible. It sounded like the place was full of Villa. My favourite part of the day was seeing all of the coaches lined up along the Witton Lane, and I remember thinking there was no way we could lose with fans like ours.

Do us proud, chosen ones.

I'm so excited I could shit.

Sadly will be in Chicago but will probably watch with the Chicago Villains at The Globe.

I can't get there, my nervous system will not allow me to watch it on telly even if I could.  My thoughts will be with you all, those of you at Wembley and those of you scattered worldwide and those of you recuperating from whatever has been ailing you.  I will be doing this whilst walking the roads of the West of Ireland.

Come on you Villa Boys!

Steady on Dave it's only the semi so save those fine words for the final.

I'm so excited I could shit.

I am so shit scared I can't get excited.

I'm so excited I could shit.

I am so shit scared I can't get excited.

I'm so nervous I can't shit

I live in Benidorm so will have to watch it in a bar... well hopefully. The Lioness is due to go into labour any day now, with a due date on Sunday.

She has said that we can go out to watch it in a bar, however I have a feeling the cub will time his appearance at the same time that Benteke hits his hat-trick.

To all those travelling enjoy the game, stay safe and cheer the boys on for me.

Come on you villa boys!!!

brilliant post! Hope all goes well with the cub...and you get to see us beat the scousers!

All the best lion-in-Essex!
 
Such a good story I'll be thinking of you on Sunday!
Hope all goes well mate!

UTV!

Have pity on those of us in eastern Australia. I'll be in a bar in the wee small hours, hopefully with some other Villans but probably surrounded by the usual array of witless gobshite scousers and Irish glory hunting backpackers. Losing is not an option...

[Matt C]

I'll be feeling homesick and watching from California.

Be back for the final though.

Good luck to you both fella.

If it's a boy I hope that you will call him Christian!

Well Doc, the one consolation is the free pass my liver will have by not attending. Despite the results, I have fine memories of Harrow On The Hill for our last two trips to Wembley. Happy Birthday.

cheers Nev hope you enjoy the show and good luck to Mr and Mrs lion in essex on the soon to be arrival of their little cub....
