Works for me - great read Dave and true sentiment.  They still get me jumping round the house like a loon at 52.....
One slight correction - it's 3 goals in 3 for Trez.

Well written, Dave: a very good summary of the agony and ecstasy

Finally managed to read the article.

The opening two paragraphs are a brilliant summary of the emotional roller coaster that Villa has put us through since the restart.

We'd all like it not to affect us so much, but we don't have a choice because we're all hopeless (and I guess hopeful) addicts unable to shake the habit.

Good article Dave.

The website really needs to sort itself out though, it's almost impossible to reach in Chrome and the links don't work in Explorer either.  You can't get it through google on Chrome, but you can on Explorer.

I keep trying but everyone says it's down to someone else.

Perfectly summed up for me that.

I don't want to care, and sometimes I try not to.

I've accessed the site fine in Google and in Chrome too.

If you get Origin Error

In Chrome enable Google Chrome support by typing chrome://net-internals/ into your address bar, then select HSTS from the drop-down menu.

In Delete Domain enter:  thebirminghampress.com  and click Delete. In Events in the top bar you should see a counter increasing, there should only be a few, when it stops, close page down.

You have basically told Chrome to ignore https in favour of http. You should be able to get onto thebirminghampress.com now (not a guarantee though).
