[cheltenhamlion]

Come and sit in the Lower Holte then...

Final tickets will be what minimum £60 ?

There's a cheap category starting from 30-40 quid if I remember rightly from last time. Probably gone up a little since then.

This may sound mad but I have always preferred semi-finals to the actual "event" which tends to be fraught with tension, in a strange land and costing a lot!

Going to Highbury in 77 for the QPR replay was one of my greatest Villa memories - no money to get in, for food or a drink, relying on the generosity of fellow Villans and then a hat-trick from Sir Brian -  the best of times...

It seems like a lifetime ago.

Are those the seats where you can only see the players from the neck up

Ha well it was for some

Anyone think we should wear an all white kit for the away leg? Bradford have odd colours which seem to clash with everything.

The final decision is by the ref

How would claret and amber clash with lime green?

It was one of those classic Villa nights when you could almost feel the ghosts of our illustrious past pushing the team on to a famous victory. It was an amazing night.

A good draw.

They have not actually beat a Premier League side, they have drawn twice.

I keep reading on their website about pinning things up on the dressing room wall. Ok, fair enough, I am sure they will be up for it, but they're still a 4th division outfit. Even if they're wound up, I cannot see how they can stop the Benteke.

I expect them to come flying at us for 40 minutes, us to drop one in, then another and us to steamroller them by the end of it.

We have bladdered every side we've played in this competition thus far, including the best side in the country. I couldn't care less if Bradford managed to hang onto a draw with Arsenal.
