Game you wished you were at

[davidb]

League cup semi final 1994. I was in the lakes with the family at the time and watching on tv. I'm glad bozzie married that girl!

*1982 and 1957 don't count

[Chris Jameson]

I went to the first leg and on the evening of the home leg gave my ticket to a mate as I wasn't in a good place (it was Halesowen).

Can't think of a match off the top of my head that I really wish I'd been at.

2015 FA Cup semi Final

I was living abroad at the time and if it had been played on the Saturday I might have been able to make it back but Sunday was a no go.

IIRC they fannyed about with deciding which game would be played on which day because Liverpool still had to play their replay which made it harder for me to plan to come back.

Villa 5 Liverpool 1 - 15th December 1976. I was only 5 and it was midweek game.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Plymouth away in 71/72. The only game I missed in the 3rd division promotion season. Still never been to Home Park.

[garyshawsknee]

Inter at home in 1990. Watched it on TV, one of the most complete and greatest performances I've seen..... albeit only on the telly.

[TopDeck113]

In my lifetime: the League Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester United in December 1970.

In my time machine: the FA Cup final on 10th April 1897.  The only time a club has completed the league and Cup double on the same day and I'd love to experience the Villa during the greatest era and take in Victorian England.

Highbury in 81 and Rotterdam in 82. Other than that I have been lucky enough to be at all memorable games from December 1970.

Quite a few  I am afraid

Leeds Centenary Game

Sheff Wed promotion night game

Everton at Goodision first away win  back in Div 1

Glasgow  Rangers friendly

Royal Antwerp away

Liverpool 5-1 midweek

Leeds away 1980 the only game I missed that season

Swindon promotion game

Arsenal  away league cup semi

I promise to stay away if we need  something  at Millwall and although I will regret missing the game I will have done my duty to the Villa.

As an eleven year old I was lucky enough to be behind the goal Withey scored in in Rotterdam. Top tier, front row.

The game(s) I wish I had been at? We may have lost but it would be quite a claim to fame to say you had been in Tokyo for the World Club Championship game against Penarol. I am guessing Highbury May 1981 was a good day out.

[Dave Wall]

Villa 5 Liverpool 1 - 15th December 1976. I was only 5 and it was midweek game.

This one for me.

[mr underhill]

me too I was at college in Sheffield at the time and couldn't get down to the game.

[dave shelley]

Plymouth away in 71/72. The only game I missed in the 3rd division promotion season. Still never been to Home Park.

Is that the one we lost 3-2?  I was at it, a nightmare to get to and back from.  It seemed like we were on the road for days, and we played like shit!  Be thankful.

[four fornicholl]

The Holtes last stand

[Reuben]

Probably the 6-2 v Everton even though I saw it on TV.

My Dad said I could choose between that or the Palace game.  I'd seen Villa v Everton the previous season so chose the Palace one (which was ok but not as good as Everton)
