Time travel - just for one game.
« on: March 26, 2013, 06:09:35 PM »
If you could do time travelling and make the game available in Full HD live recording and in colour any game at all and bring it back today. But this is only available for one game. It doesn't matter if the game is 1897 FA Cup Final. 

Me I probably will go for that 5-1 win against European Champions Liverpool in the late 70s. 

Any other suggestions ?

Wimbledon away when Dalian scored that goal. It was the only game I missed, home or away, that season.

The Tranmere semi at VP. I didn't get a ticket as I was supposed to have gone abroad to work. The upside being that due to my plans being delayed I was able to go to the final. I was lucky enough to go to Rotterdam but once was enough. For all the elation at the final whistle I couldn't go through that last twenty odd minutes again!

I would pick this as well, mainly because it was a school night and I wasn't allowed too go. 

In fact if I could get in a time machine and pick one season to revisit, that would be the one.  It remains the best Football I have seen in my years supporting the Villa.

I'm unfortunately going to a funeral tomorrow where I expect to meet some people I went to Villa with at that time.  Amidst the obvious sadness of the day it maybe we can raise a glass to the deceased and remember the good times we had together in that memorable season?

4th May 1957. Wembley Stadium. I really, really, really want to see us win the F. A. Cup.

I would love to revisit 1980/81, September to March in either 1989/90 or 1992/93 or the vast majority of our awaydays in 1987/88.

You picked a good game to miss Nev!

I'd like to go to any game in the 1890s, just to see if we were as far ahead of the rest as it seems we were.
