Stupid Villa-related questions
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:21:07 AM »
Whilst standing outside the Villa Village in the North Stand car park, I was asked where the North Stand was.

"Is that the official programme?" just pales into comparison. Yours?

This evening, my friend asked me

"What is that thing on Ireland's wrist?

"It's a sweat band"

"Why doesn't he have one on the other wrist, is it only the right one which sweats?"

Getting asked where the Holte End is before the Chelsea game. Amazingly, I wasn't asked that prior to Blackburn, Bolton etc. I wonder why.

Took a female work mate to see Villa v Juventus in the European cup in 1982. Gordon Cowans scored, crowd go wild. She said, "Did Villa score or Juventus?"

I bet she pronounced it 'Jooventus' too didn't she?

Whilst walking back from a home game quite a few years ago (before I started selling H&V), I was quite randomly asked, "Where are we in the League now?". Who am I? The Oracle?

Slightly different note, but the amount of people queueing to get into the door B turnstiles (we never normally have to queue) who  were being sent out as they were trying to get in the wrong place and the people in front of us checking their tickets and the door number about a dozen times.

Fair play though, the cheaper ticket prices obviously appear to have attracted a lot of new comers.  Hope the football didn't turn them off coming again.

Just off the top of my head:

What colours do Villa play in?
Where's the Holte End ticket office?
What time's kick off?
"I'm next to a stand. It's the one that says Aston Villa."
Where's the Tap & Crown?
Where's a cashpoint?
Is that the book Paul Merson wrote?
And the best ever....
...against Chelsea one night...
...standing by the North Stand car park entrance....
...wait for it....
Where's Villa Park?

I don't think I could ever sell H&V, i'd find it too much of a struggle not to give sarcastic answers.

It's best to just give in to temptation.

I haven't been doing it long but I find it quite cathartic, I sent one very drunk bloke in the direction of Aston Hall tonight when he asked me where the nearest off license was.

That did just make me "lol" as the kids say.
