Barrow vs Aston Villa League Cup Rd 2 North - Tuesday, Aug 24th - 7.45pm

[RichardBatchelor]

Please don't take it lightly, this above all seasons recently, I'd like us to win a cup.

Indeed. I'd love it if we won both domestic cups (presumably alongside a mid-table finish as we're not going any higher) while seeing Man City as runners-up in both the league and Champions league and winning jack - pun initially unintended. That would be nice.

My attempt to call this game 'The Peter Withe Derby' doesn't seem to have caught on.

The Young Ones Rik -  "Honestly I don't know why I bother sometimes".

The Young Ones Vyvyan - "I don't know why you bother ever"!

Don’t think the performance matters much tonight but the result does

25 years without a major trophy is just ridiculous

[Brend'Watkins]

I think we will see Chucky and Bidface tonight which would please me.

Am already counting down the minutes to when I have to leave. Driving up so going to be a late night but can’t wait.

I'm on coach from VP and that's not leaving till 14:45......seems too late to me that does.

Google says about 4 hours in a car.... So yes, that's tight! I'd double check it's not going at 12.45

[ADVILLAFAN]

As well as former Villa player Dimetri Sea, Barrow also have both Mark Lillis and Simon Grayson's sons playing for them.

Good luck to all those travelling up today. Safe journeys and enjoy the game.

To be fair, I remember being at Wembley in 2020 and seeing us lose to 1-2 to Citeh.

There are a lot of South American fans around the Elephant.   Standing room only when there is a Colombian game on. Maybe Emi is the big draw

Good point. The old shopping centre was full of little independent shops run by Latin Americans. I'm not sure if the redevelopment of the area (including shopping centre) and the pandemic has screwed them.

completely off-topic but it's mainly the former, have a look at https://latinelephant.org/ if you want more info.

My first job in London 'on the tools' was at that shopping centre. We converted the top floor from what I believe was previously council offices into a Gala Bingo hall.
