Unfortunately, you've got some fans who go to away games just for the sole purpose of drinking as much as humanly possible. They're men that haven't quite grown up.


A high proportion of absolute arseholes. Pissed as farts/coked up or both.  I’ve never understood the desire to stand up against the fence separating fans flapping your hands like a twat to the away fans.
Hopefully we're in a group with teams from Siberia Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. That will sort the wheat from the chaff

And its this fantastic method that means I still can't remember any of the 2015 FA Cup Final.

There was no 2015 FA Cup Final. Or 2000 one.

Great day and night.  Don’t think there was one villa fan who disgraced themselves.  Complete overkill on here over GSTK

Got to say the Villa as a club let hardcore fans down taking a paltry 1.000 when offered 3,000

Some issues with passing on tickets and this shows up a wider issue with resale but again villa are not whiter than white themselves over ticket distribution
information I got was that Villa were originally offered 1100 tickets,
Villa were given the UEFA statutory 5% for away fans.

Hibs were prepared to offer us 3000 on the proviso that we’d do the same for them in the return leg. We said no.
Not what I heard from a good source and if that offer was made why deprive our own fans of tickets for the return match

Well, it's what I heard from an extremely reliable source. We said no as it was less admin for the staff and much easier to control 1078 fans rather than 3000.

This. Embarrassing that they have Villa colours.

They would all have had a shock arriving in ground....no alcohol on sale at all.
