Can imagine Rogers scoring it:

I've said before, Spartak were unbelievable at VP, better than Juventus were.

April 1993 they put a big screen on the pitch when we played Blackburn away midweek. We were 2nd with 3 games to go and still in with a chance of catching Man U with 3 games to go. We lost 3-0.

We also had a screen for Banik Ostrava away. It went off and when it came back on we were losing, and there was lots of moaning and talk of refunds. Eventually won 2-1 and everybody forgot about the glitches and left happy.

I remember watching an FA Cup game against Sandwell in the Leisure Centre back in the day.

Yes 1990. Mountfield and Daley scored in a 2-0 win and Sid Cowans produced a performance which should have sealed a plane ticket to Italia 90.

Was this the start of you becoming a moaning git? 🤔

[cdbearsfan]

No, that was your birth.

Tony Daley destroying Brian Talbot?

I think it was Stacey North.

They screened a Luton away game at the Leisure Centre during the away fan ban  i recall.

Which reminds me, Sangwell played Swansea in the play offs God knows how many years ago. They restricted the away allocation so the match was screened at the NIA the day after a run of ice shows finished so the rink stayed in place with the sparrow badge on the ice as a nod to the fans.

The only way to remove a temporary ice rink is to smash the ice up, shovel it into wheelbarrows and dump it outside to melt. I knew a couple of agency staff who really enjoyed doing that the next day....

Bloody hard work though, I would imagine.

I never volunteered.

Screening the game at VP is a no brainer if we make final. We could close to sell out the stadium. I would  definitely  come for that.

But im scared to book a hotel in advamce even  as a free cancellation just in case  of jinxing it

We usually disagree, Demitri, but I applaud your restraint and your devotion to the gods.

I would rather stay patient even  if it cost more than potentially  ruin it by jinxing it. We need a fucking trophy!

[algy]

Not wishing to tempt fate but then I’m gonna do it anyway

Do you think if we hit the final that Villa will do the same as Spurs and put a big screen in the ground for those not going to Istanbul, or will they just limit it to the warehouse thing
I definitely be up for that second best thing to actually going

Yea I’d be up for that. My boy is 16 so late kick offs in the pub not an option. Would be great to watch with loads of other Villa… if we get there.

Yeah, if we get there and if it's available I'll probably do this with my dad too.
