One Time Machine Ticket, One Season Ticket

The inaugral Football League season in 1888 - 1889 must have been an exciting time, so that would have been worth seeing.  I was born in 1980, so missed out on the Championship winning season and the European Cup winning season.  My Dad has often told me the story of the emotional rollercoaster Villa fans went through that afternoon stood on the Clock End at Highbury in 1981 and of course the magic of that night in Rotterdam.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I think I would choose 1974/75, a league cup win and promotion in the same season. Didnt we win something like 13 of our last 17 games to seal promotion. It must have been fantastic after all those years out of the top flight, to finally get back where we belonged. That final game against Sunderland in front of 57000 and the mass pitch invasion must have been amazing to be a a part of. It was the start of a great 7 or 8 years for us and I would love to re live those days. I think I would choose my season ticket on the witton bank so I could "welcome" any away fans! The music was great in those days, just a shame for me I was born 3 years later!

All the seasons where we won something would be good. I was too young for the Third and Second Division promotions in 1971/1972 and 1974/1975 so would love to see those.

Of the seasons when we didn't win anything 1989/1990 would be the one I would like to repeat.

Tough call.

I was there for the 74/75, 76/77 and 80/81 and they were all brilliant seasons, 76/77 being the outstanding amongst them. I'd have to go for the 71/72 just to witness what all you old farts keep banging on about.

I'd probably buy a few shares in a start-up called Starbucks whilst I was there.

For Cahill's overhead kick?

Yeah, and if I could go to back to a specific part of that season it would be when we beat Man Utd and Arsenal at home in the space of a few days over the Christmas period.

Tough one to call, 1980-1981 to see us become champions. I don't think it would mean as much to me though because the build up to winning the league was unreal from 68 onwards

Just hoping in my lifetime I get to see history like many of you did

[Darlo Dave]

Last season, and sell it on, so as I wouldn't have wasted the f***** money I did!

On a serious note, I'd quite like to relive the 95/96 season. Sir Brian and his 3-5-2 formation. Some fantastic games, and a trip to Wembley to see us smash Leeds.

For Cahill's overhead kick?

Nope. For the great, successful football we played under a popular manager.

Have you got your years mixed up? Or have I just totally ruined a sarcastic joke?

Another vote for 76-77 I'm afraid - my neighbour said the same without prompting as well.

It just embodied what we had been waiting for I think -  a powerful team that scored goals and had tremendous heart led by a flinty-eyed but deeply emotional manager. We won stuff and we beat "top" teams. I walked up Trinity Road every Saturday knowing we had a chance of beating anyone - teams feared us at Villa Park.

Oh to experience that again...

Definately this season. I went to a few games but was too young to truly appreciate how well we played that season. It was the season that my hero Sir Brian and Andy Gray caused havoc against teams.

We used to walk up Witton Lane predicting how many we'd score; three, four or five. We were that good.
