Title: old VHS tapes available to a good home
Post by: dutchvilla on September 16, 2021, 07:27:40 PM: I have season reviews for 92-93 and 95-96, as well as an old History of Aston Villa tape, all on VHS; also a couple of Warwickshire CCC season reviews.

Not looking for any money, just want them to go a good home. PM me if interested.

Great video I first saw it in 1990 we borrowed it from a newsagent for a weekend.

Brilliantly narrated and researched By Gerald Sinstad of the BBC.

Yes, I had it in the mid 1990s.

Yep
Tony Daley’s montage had Gabrielle’s Dreams as its tube. David Platt’s was Love To Love You

Post by: Villan82 on December 18, 2021, 10:46:58 PM: For all the progress we have made in terms of technology it was easier in the late 1990s, on a night like this, to stick a classic Villa VHS tape on, sit back and relax than it is in 2021 to find an old game/video that you want to watch on a night the game has been cancelled.

Villa Boy on youtube is amazing but a lot of his stuff gets taken down. Had hoped he had the old Aston Villa official history (which i am in the mood for) or that 1997 video Andy Gray did.

You would imagine in this day and age you could sign up somewhere and watch any villa content you wanted!
