Away Games

[Percy McCarthy]

As if we weren't making it sound good enough with the pubs, park, river, atmosphere etc., not3bad has gone and trumped everyone.

[Lambert and Payne]

Can I just ask, those who have got tickets for Fulham sorted already, have they been bought from Fulham? I can't see them on sale on Villa website yet, am I missing something?

Fulham have a "neutral end" where anyone can buy a ticket and those tickets have been on sale for a while at www.fulhamfc.com. We always sit in there 'cos the old man is 74 and objects to buying a seat and being forced to stand throughout the game. Not so much of a problem at Fulham, especially if you sit in the first 2 blocks. I think every ground should have a neutral section.

Within reason it could work

Wigan a safe place to go too but no pub nearby.

Yes there is ? One literally over the road opposite pizza hut

Horrid, I can sort of understand (although Witton and Aston are hardly Shangri La), but why dangerous?

Look...well...he's from Solihull. We think Sutton Coldfield is a bit down market.

Everton is ace to take kids if only to show them how life was when Dad was a boy. You get to see children waiting outside pubs for their dads, not a female in sight or anyone who was not born with 15 miles of the ground ( for at least 4 generations).
Inside you get the whole 1980's pre Hillsborough/Hysel/Taylor report experience of narrow gangways,warm pies and terrible toilets all capped off with a classic shite view. Oh and not forgetting their 80's classic song coupled with endless screams for hand ball and penalty.
They certainly embrace their 'istory'

Actually I do enjoy going to Everton. If you get into a chat in a pub with them or listen to what they're talking about they are very similar to us, in similar surroundings.

I also like Everton, the away ground I've visited most often for various reasons. Away end (particularly downstairs) is a shithole though and I'd like it to be closer to the city centre. I'm a big fan of Newcastle as well, great stadium very well located and you get a good view.
Thanks to all who replied to my Fulham enquiry. I'm going to be in the away as opposed to neutral end but by the sounds of things the neutral area will be pretty Villa dominated anyway. By my calculations we should be going for a 5th league win on the bounce by then!

[cheltenhamlion]

Us and Everton are practically twinned. Some good pubs in the city centre as well.

Some?
Fucking loads!

As I do not live in the U.K My away travel has been limited to two trips in the last 10 years, both times to the Albion.

What is the feeling about the current worst Premier away trips.
This obviously excludes the noses.

[Brend'Watkins]

Tottenham is always a ball ache, their fans horrible, ages to walk from the nearest tube and I hate them.
