Actually i'm not sure it is as I remember us passing the Chelsea coaches heading to VP and i'm sure that was on the Expressway.

Chelsea were playing at Villa.

I know, but if we left Edgbaston we wouldn't passed them on the Expressway would we? We definitely passed the Chelsea coaches.

I need someone with a better memory than me who traveled on the official coaches!

It would make sense for you to be going that way.

Only picked up the last few posts of this thread but for many years Chelsea's biggest supporters club outside london was Worcester maybe they come off the m5 at jct 4 then down the a38 through Northfield selly oak edgbaston etc

Late to the party on this one but still ranks as one of my favourite Villa games, it was my first trip to Wembley and my older bro took me with him. I genuinely thought at the time that it was always like this and we were on an upward trajectory that would see us over-taking Man U by the end of the 90s.It just seemed normal, Villa in the final. What is the song about Gordon Strachan having VD?!
