Away Fan Friendly Pubs Near VP

Idea for noses, rather than risk getting off the coach and entering a dangerous pub in B6. Stay on board, knock one out into a pot noodle and drink that once you see the hallowed and sacred beautiful ground in Aston.

Be warned though. 2000 Villa have got tickets to the coach park.

I know I'm going to get a bollocking for this but, I've stood in 50k crowds at the sty, a long time ago but definitely 50k or more.

I'm actually with you on this one Dave - i was at FA Cup 5th rd i think v Spuds over 50k there around 1970 ish 0-0 draw if memory serves lost replay 6-0

Only come to see the Villa springs to mind.

[adrenachrome]

They had 45,000 against us in Feb '68, but there were was a massive Villa contingent if memory serves.

Not once but twice inside a minute. Should the police have ran on the pitch to arrest him in hindsight?

You must try harder Chris. You are living down to what we expect from you lot.

Definitely. Gobby should have been arrested for impersonating a footballer, and having the temerity to walk around upright on two legs.

My ailing memory tells me they had around 46k in the 1975-76 season where we had the whole of the Tilton ( lost 3-2). There must have been 10-12k Villa there that day as we had fans in the Railway end too.

Your memory seems to be functioning well, Pat Mac.

Two hits in a minute...that's a pretty good strike rate.

As much of a twat that Savage is, I think the police running on the pitch to arrest him is going a bit too far.

You cheeky little blinder picking a cleverly cropped picture with 5 Villa on it, closet Villain mate?

All this "hur hur, you come on the coach" stuff is a bit childish, isn't it? It's not really hard to understand why that might be the case, or why it might be a good idea.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike Blues as much as any right thinking Brummie should do, but all this hinting at aggro stuff - whether it be the coach stuff, or the "there'll be Blues everywhere" rubbish - is a bit puerile.

Last time at their place when there was all that aggro on the pitch, I had a colleague in Spain sending me links to the story in their media with "wtf is this all about" style comments, and it really was pretty embarrassing.

It reflects terribly on the city and it's a bit disappointing to see otherwise intelligent people on here slipping so effortlessly into the hoolie vernacular. Frankly, it makes them look a bit stupid. On both sides.

I hope there's a great atmosphere and it's a great match, but it's a shame when you end up thinking about how much you hope there aren't any trouble-making pricks in evidence as you do about the match itself.

A convoy of coaches. For a 2 mile trip. Lol.

If a nose makes himself known near you in the ground you will still give him a good shoeing though won't you. I will, after all their bravado again they deserve anything they might get. It's a free hit as the stewards won't touch you as they shouldn't be in the home end.
