Last time we played on a Friday

[Leighton]

After the other nights fixture, when was the last time we had a game on a Friday night at Villa Park, apart from it falling on a Boxing Day or New Years Day.

I seem to recall playing Forest on a Friday many years ago in the Simod Cup, or was it the Zenith Data Systems Cup.. It's bugging me.

I can only remember Liverpool in the early 80's and Albion in the 87-88 season.

I remember us being presented with the 3rd division trophy at the last home game of the 1971/72 season, which was on a friday night.

Middlesborough late 70's, because of the Motor Show at The N. E. C., I think we lost 2-0.

Came down to that with my Boro supporting mate who stood with me on the Holte End. That was a long journey home!

I'm also pretty sure we played the Stripeys on a Friday, last home game in 1978-79.

West Ham, Easter friday 1999.

Shocking game, 0-0.

I was going too put this but thought it was 2-2? Sinclair with an injury time equalizer.

[nick harper]

V Swansea May 1982 before the greatest game in our history.

I remember going to see us play at Doncaster on a Friday in March 1971. Tricky journey up in a clapped out van meant we arrived late to find we were 1-0 up. We went on to lose 1-2. I don't think we have had a good record against them for some strange reason?
