Matchday Rituals/Habits

[Clampy]

I didnt realise until I'd left the house that i was wearing  my black and white Luke trackie jacket, which my mate told me to take off but I thought it might help in a weird sort of way so I left it on. I shall be wearing it again next time we play them, if it still fits that is.

My mate has great pleasure in telling me they have Zero rated hygiene before I go in. Doesn't stop him eating there mind !

I've been to the Villa Chippy 3 times, been violently ill that night 3 times, not been back since. Really doesn't agree with my stomach.

Jesus Christ. Take their name and license away!

Not a good sign if even the rats run from the place or would rather die than eat there.

The rat died of food poisoning.

On match days I use my blue eye liner then cover it up with a black one, being brown eyed, blue doesn't suit me. I also put some perfume on and wear my Swarovski V shaped earrings. If it's an evening kick off it's the little V shaped ones, otherwise it's the larger ones. I may need help.

Made me think of Crystal Gayle for the first time in 40 years.

I mean.. that’s not exactly a better take on things is it?  😂

Just out of interest, where is the Villa Chippy?

When you come out of Witton railway station, walking towards Villa Park, it's the first turn on the left (so one turn sooner to than the really obvious route to the ground). From memory it's half a dozen shops down, just after (?) a post office.

Edit: it's just before the post office, on Manor Road

That's Manor Road, the road my old man was born in.  There's a cul-de-sac a few yards further on with modern houses built on it which is where the house he was born in stood.  That used to be a tremendous chip shop many years ago, sad to hear of its decline.
