Is it possible to record (sky+) the match if I've left for the game before the red button coverage has started ?

I think so, pretty sure the red button just takes you to one of the high numbered channels so you could record that.
Thanks. Will give it a go.
Found it. Channel 981. Cheers.
Are you sure - 981 sounds like the kind of channel would give a 5 minute preview
Well it's set. And it wasn't tagged as 0898XXXX.com.  So we'll see after the game ! Assuming it's not one I just want to forget of course.

I didn't know Steve Evans was their manager. Suddenly it's a grudge match.

I caught a bit of his presser on yow tube and he was extremely complimentary about us as a club.
Another non entity never heard of?
What's our issue?
Seems like a straightforward lower league manager.

Maybe click the link that was posted but short summary he was invovled in some pretty significant fraud and somehow managed to dodge jailtime.
Thank You didn't see that just thought was a thread telling us it was on access television
It's our year, again.

Thanks. Now seen and read.
Great read as ever.
Feeling this is our year!
Up the Villa.

Didn’t know the red button stuff shows up as an actual channel.
FYI, just done a bit of digging and for anyone on Virgin Media it’s channel 991.
I’ve set it to record to watch for a second time when I get home…. Assuming it doesn’t turn out to be a banana skin!

Hmmm, more space now available on that box of yours?

Absolutely. Deleted the second the tv was turned on last night (for Happy Valley!).

Still as angry this morning. Next season we somehow need to communicate with Emery that the cups should be our HIGHEST priority - Fuck the league, we're not going to win it, give us a trophy and a day out at Wembley.
