Only been there once, for the 2-1 defeat to a late goal in 1983 after Gary Shaw had scored a beauty.

I remember seeing that goal on tv, it was sublime. Can anyone locate the footage and post it up?

I went there around 1985, bizarrely with my mom. We lost 0-2, terrible performance from Villa. Highlight of the day was stopping at Toddington services for something to eat.

Knew a bloke at work who lived near Bletchley and used his address to get a bogus membership card to get in when away fans were banned, allegedly.

One of my earliest memories of supporting Villa was of watching deferred coverage of a game shown on Irish tv against Luton in the late 80's. Think we lost 2-1. We seemed to be relegation rivals for a few years around that time and rarely seemed to get the better of them.

Count me in as a member of the 'went there once, Villa lost' club. Bosnich's debut in '92. I also went to the leisure centre to watch a screening of us playing there in our relegation season when the away fan ban was in place. We lost.
