F.A Cup 4th Round - away meltdown at Arsenal

[TaxDodger]

Got my ticket. Very much looking forward to this. Looks like we'll take a few. Hopefully the club will ask for some more.

booked my ticket the other day and really looking forward to my first away game EVER!

[Matt C]

Got mine too yesterday. Look forward to it. Nothing to lose, everything to gain so lets go there and have a go.

The coaches leave at 11am in the morning. Given that the match starts at 4pm, does anyone think there will be enough time to visit a pub before the game?

[Rick_avfc]

How long do you think it will take to get to the ground if the coaches leave at 11?  2.5hrs max?

Awesome. I enjoy aways much more than home games, and our last trip to Arsenal was one of the best aways I've ever been to.

Yes

Yes

Don't bank on that.  Depending on how the journey is going, they could stop on the motorway to kill time.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't. They always set out ridiculously early in case of problems. For the Swansea 1.30pm kick-off, we left Villa Park at 7.30.

Obviously at a motorway services.

And then there's having to escape the warm and tender embrace of The Mets Finest, who'll no doubt want to get us straight to the ground. Should we start an escape committee?

Coaches have to arrive at the ground 1-2 hours before kick-off. There's no way, given the distance between where they park and the turnstiles, that you won't be able to do what you want on arrival.

I think there's a London contingent in the 12 Pins next to Finsbury Park tube. Wish wish wish I could make this, but Uni work has to take priority

That reminds me. Must get the other half to make me up a nice healthy sandwich and a flask for the journey down, I hate that overpriced puke at Newport Pagnall or wherever masquarading as edible food and beverage.

I've heard away games are brill and the support is fantastic.  Really cant wait.  Last season must have been brill at the emirates as we beat them and loads of people in fancy dress right?  Saw a video clip on youtube of all villa fans signing a song about the blues about them going down or something like that? Looked awesome
