Done. Good luck with it. Don't do what I did and leave writing it up until two days before the deadline.

The experience? Setting out about an hour before kick off. Getting  to Lichfield road in fifteen minutes.  Always wasting 15 mins in the queue at Park Circus.  Spending the next 20 minutes looking for a parking place in Bevington Road or road off there. Finally parking with 5 mins to kick off. Sometimes finding  Legion selling H&V under the tree. Highlight of the day.  Making it to my seat with  5 minutes gone. Looking at clock with fifteen gone and thinking it's a good day we haven't conceded. Hoping for a goal from a lucky bounce before HT. At half time trying to remember what I did the last time  at HT that resulted in us scoring in the second half but giving up after 10 mins as I can't recall a good result. Trying to avoid looking at away fans when they score. Last ten minutes trying to think about positives of another home defeat that I can drill in to my nephew so he doesn't feel too despondent. Not listening to WM when I finally get into the car. Hoping I can  get indoors and disappear before  wife asks me how did the Villa do and telling me "I knew they won't win" even before I open my mouth. Avoiding all football for the rest of the weekend.

My ticket in the Holte for the West Ham game was 15, as it was for the Albion game. As far as I can remember that seems to be the usual price. FA cup games are a fiver though and I feel like an old timer back in the 60's wearing a flat cap.

[Rotterdam 82]

Done. Good luck.

"Bovril with added pepper which you put in yourself."   God, that brought back memories. Thanks for the smile.

Oh, I still can't smell a cigar without thinking of the Trinity in the sixties.

Old Timer? Sixties? wearing a flat cap? The sixties. the decade of The Beatles and The Stones, Woodstock et al. I think you mean the thirties
dont you.
We saw ourselves as The Children of The Revolution. You missed out on a lot I think.

[Simon Ward]

Done!
