it shows they only come to see the villa and our away supporters increase their numbers.

Witton End surely ?

I've only been there twice.

The first time was in 1971, for a Youth Cup match.  We had Little and Gidman in our side, they had Francis and I think Gallagher, and maybe Burns.  That game ended 1-1 in front of 21,000.  We won the replay at VP in front of 19,000 on a night of torrential rain.

The second and last time I went there was in 1976, a 2-3 defeat.

I watched a Villa v Liverpool game (either in the DOL or SGT MkII era) live on SKY with Joe Gallagher at the Solihull Borough football club. We were the only two people in there. An old workmate of mine went to school with his daughter. Apparently she was the hottest girl in school and went on to be a lapdancer. Shame I wasn't watching the game with her.

I used to know Kenny Burns' son when he used to come into the betting shop I used to manage. He had a great nickname amongst his mates.

'Burnsy'.

Hey, nothing wrong with that nickname pal!

I doubt if Simon Weston would agree with you.

My first time was 87, I’ve always found it laughable that we are all scared of them, there were more Villa in the ground than them.

I’ve loads of mates who are SHA, most of them have not the faintest interest inthst lot but could tell you all about who our opponents are.

Think you missed my irony, bud.
Every time they play us at VP they reckon they 'Take the Holte'

If anyone can be bothered to google it and stick it up on here, there's a fantastic picture of Kenny Burns in a forest kit with his left bollock hanging out of his shorts.

"You've poppped out again Alan"

I'll take your Kenny Burns and raise you a Villa winning captain, Ian Ross, on the shoulders of Jimmy Cumbes, the League Cup aloft and the 'match balls' hanging out the side.

What about, in full flow in a league game, Duncan Fergusons meat and two veg.

Dean Saunders literally 'dropped a goolie'  when he failed to put his shorts on correctly for a Brighton pre season team picture years back.

February 1978 Villa v Blues derby.

“Approximately 150 Birmingham City supporters approached the station and began to chant ’National Front, National Front’ towards 60 Aston Villa supporters, who were coming down the opposite side of the road,” he says.

“Some of the Villa fans were black, and they reacted angrily to the chants. The two groups met up again shortly afterwards in the city centre and running battles took place.”... This goes against the total bollox the comes put  of the Sty.

that seems exactly what was published in the meaning evil rim gk
