For those not going to the game where are people going?

Where in Birmingham will be heaving with villa fans and why have the club not got it on?

Thanks

At a guess because they've had to organise the ticket sales for the 25,000 that are going to Wembley.

Me and a mate will be in the Britannia in Wollaston, watched the semi final in there and it was buzzing

It's looking unlikely i'll get a ticket now so i expect to be sat at home watching it. Travelling down there to watch in a pub just doesn't appeal. Being nearby but not being in the ground would make it even worse for me.

The club already had commitments on the day, such as weddings etc and couldn't show the final as well as have those on.

Will be watching at home in Manchester with a few Man City supporting mates who are coming round to cheer on the Villa and to drink me out of house and home!

I'll be watching at a wedding that I'm usher for. Still completely devastated.

I'll be facilitating an exit from the meal at 5.20 and expect a number of people to follow me. I don't care if it does annoy the happy couple!

There was talk the Ads may open. Might be worth giving them a call.

Snobs are showing it. Have a number of screens and the beer prices are decent.

I'll be heading south to meet up with TSOV Sr at this place on the right...



Really weird thing happened last time I was there. I was watching an England match in there last summer and at half time when outside to have a cigarette. I got talking to this bloke who turned out to be a Villa fan. He was a Brummie, living in Portugal (Setubal) and by co-incidence his parents live in Sutton. When I asked him where about it turned out their garden backs on to my parents'.

I will be watching at home with She-who-must-be-obeyed and our Villa-supporting 17 year-old. I could watch it in a bar but £6 a pint doesn't appeal to me.

I will be at my kids games pretty much all day, then I have a game in the evening.  My only chance to watch it will be at 9pm.  I have a really tough decision to make whether to avoid updates or just take it all in on my phone as much as possible.......
