Watching proper Villa players.

This Sunday March 27th the Old Stars are playing Birmingham City All 'Stars' at the Tally Ho Police Training College, Pershore Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B5 7RN, Kick off 12.00 midday.

The game is being played for the Lord Mayor's Trophy and all monies raised will go to the Lord Mayor's charities which are BID Services (Birmingham Institute for the Deaf), PHAB
(Physically Handicapped And Able Bodied) camps, the Stroke Association and
The Burns Centre at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

We're not sure of admission prices yet.


It is hoped that playing for Aston Villa Old Stars will be European Cup-winners Des Bremner, Gordon Cowans, Colin Gibson, Pat Heard, Tony Morley and Ken McNaught, with Paul Merson, Steve Staunton, Shaun Teale, and hopefully Ian Taylor making his debut.

It is believed that Blues squad will include the likes of Devlin, Horsfield, Mooney, McCarthy, Clarkson, Hyde, Gill, Hopkins, Barnett, and O'Connor.

If Jon survives his trip to Ellesmere Port I would hope we will be there.

"Blues all stars!" so it's 11 v 2 then.

[Dave Javu]

Is that venue by accident or design?

[WikiVilla]

I will probably attend. Are flares allowed ?
Whats the parking like ?

[sidcowans10]

Parkin there is limited. But you can park at the Midland Art Centre and get through to Tally Ho by a small gate at the bottom end of the car park

[paulcomben]

Are they doing intensive fitness training, practising rapid pass & move and also having a drunken fight one night before the game?!

[gervilla]

Hopkins eh ?

It's Old Star players - the choice of Old Star fashion is entirely up to you

If Bremner, Cowans, Morley et al show signs of being in good nick, they should be called upon for the Everton game...

Failing that, showing the current lot a few DVDs of thirty years ago would remind them of what they should be aspiring to.

Will access to the players be allowed ?

Be nice to be able to stick a pint pot in Hopkins jugular.

The current lot would just sit there with headphones on flicking through supercar ads before starting a huge popcorn fight.
