Part of their 1993 promotion winning team against Port Vale. Ian Taylor booked inside the first minute of the final. Stoke and Bolton promoted the same year. Funny what you remember.

Watching Sky News, it looks like the've let the pro-Palestinian twats too near to the ground. Villa fans trying to get in being pushed back, and becoming frustrated as a result.

And I heard those without a ticket will get nowhere near the stadium.

Port Vale won the Sherpa Van or whatever it was called that season. Took a good number to that one but very few to the play-off final.

Walking up towards the Holte you go through one cordon where they tell you to get your tickets out and then another before the split of Trinity and Witton Road/Lane where you show them. Police looked bored silly.

I could probably name more Albion players from that team than I can now as well, which says a bit about them currently.

Really feel for Aston Villa. A great and welcoming football club dragged into a tension not of their making, dragged into local politics, national politics and international geo-politics. Club have handled a sensitive situation as well as possible.

Agreed, the club will be seen as having managed the whole thing as well as they could (assuming nothing happens during the game).
