We'll twat them.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I really don't feel confident. They are well organised

[AGRIPPA]

I'm starting to think that he will play a few second string ( who ain't at the moment) players ....then if we don't perform he can blame that.
If he does he don't get the Villa.

Sherwood has no choice but to play a strong side. He knows the importance of this game. I fear that Blues will want it more than us and with our truly wonderful home form, we will bottle it. I fricking hope not.

How many players of any team in the Prem really understand derbies these days?
Not many I reckon...

I lived in Bromsgrove during the 80s, it was mainly Villa back then with a few for the other local clubs plus some glory hunters. I always thought of Redditch as more sha, mainly because it's the kind of shithole they'd live in.

Did you go in the Crabmill ??

[PeterWithesShin]

Coach and Horses was were I usually went.

I knew it - I lived in Bromsgrove from 85-99 (first Stourbridge Road and then Millfields) Mike Tindall was landlord at the C & H wasn't he ?

You would hope the four Brummies in our team might have had at least some idea...

[silhillvilla]

Is Traore fit to play ? Or gana or okore ? Starting to think we may lose this game

The pricing for the Witton and Trinity Upper for league games is ridiculous, 40 quid for most games.

Obviously a price cut for the cup but still the priciest parts of the ground so that's the reason there. People will baulk paying to sit up there due to it being a cup game.

if we had karen brady ,,,,it would be kids for a quid up there ,,,,,,,,,and adults for a fiver
full house every game

I was there, 79-89, went to Watt Close and then SBHS. I used the Coach as it was more rocker and I could get in at 15! Can't remember his name, if I ever knew it.

I worked at North (East) Worcestershire College 1983-2009 - as I remember - it was probably a small Villa majority - knew a few noses down there and a mixture of others (glory hunters) - thankfully I barely see any noeses in Stafford but do see a few here in Tywyn.
