Clubs of similar stature?! that is one of the most deluded things I've ever heard.

They are similar to, maybe, Oxford United or Watford.

They could make a better claim to be of similar stature to Newcastle.
Neither have won a proper trophy for 43 years.

and Walsall. The only difference is they managed to disgrace themselves in the First Division one season and a solitary League Cup win.

Surely the poster meant Chelsea & ManU are of similar statue, so therefore not as interesting a cup-tie for TV.

Here's someone who's not too happy we're in the next round:

That's a mate of a guy I work with. Gutted in't the word.

A bloke I used to work with would have won £20k had we beaten Blackburn on a Monday night game that we drew 0-0 (Houghton hit the bar). He stopped going the Villa after that. Last time I saw him he was easing himself back into it at a reserve game.

My mate's son won about £8,500 (£2 stake) the other week, with Villa to beat Swansea one of his bets.

Wasn't there a story in the paper that some knob would have won a £150,000 accumulator if City had beaten us the other night?

If he'd had a Villa win he'd have won over a million quid. Penis

Yep, and they showed the betting slip so it looked genuine.  It cost a bloke at work a few hundred quid as well.  A Man City fan as well, just for an extra bonus.


Don't they pay out on the full time result though?  So in our case it would have been the draw that would have won.

Ticket details from Swindon Town OS here http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/villaticketdetails-401602.aspx
It mentions we will get the corner of the Arkells stand and the Excalibur stand (Stratton bank open end) so should in theory mean 3,300 tickets.

Our tickets are £20, which is cheaper then their usual league prices but still seems to be more than their own behind the goal stand.
