EL R2 Feyenoord v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Crown Hill]

Is the end we’ve got the same one we had in 82?

[Demitri_C]

Probably  a toss up between this and fenebache away as our toughtest game. Wont be easy. Would be happy with a point tbh

we'll be in the south east side behind the goal on the top tier in a perspex box. We'll barely be heard even if we score a goal

1-1

So presumably it is the same end and they haven’t reversed the away end behind the goal?
Sounds like we’ll be much higher up than we were then. Perspex sounds a bit…well like some of the other ones recently :/

The treatment and facilities for away fans at European grounds is truly awful. It’s always high up in a corner with nettings all around and total isolation from general crowd. Compare that to how we treated say Bologna fans with pitch side seating etc and full access to all UK fried chicken and kebab shops in Witton Road🤷🏽‍♂️

Which is why it’s best to ensure you’re fed and watered before you get there. Some of the ground we’ve been to have been ok, Leipzig was fine, Bruges a total shithole, Bern ok, Alkmaar ok for watching but shite out of town bullshit. I thought Ajax was a bit shite as well with that net. PSG was average but more because of that arsehole bloke on the PA. All in all the European football experience is ok but the way you get treated is disgraceful. Oh and Monaco, a god forsaken shithole and the ground wasn’t great either.

3-1 win for Villa (Watkins, McGinn, Buendia).

[Louzie0]

Exactly. Don’t mess with a winning formula.
( And don’t let any in.)

A god forsaken shithole you say? The home of F1 drivers and UK millionaire/billionaire exiles leaving the UK in their droves we’re told. Maybe they’ve got it wrong….apart from the F1 bit and they’re hardly ever there due to work commitments.

Just because a bunch of selfish tax dodgers live there doesn’t make it any good.

If Monaco is a god forsaken shithole, I’m dreading my Christmas vacation to Castle Brom!

[Villafirst]

This game won't be easy. Feyenoord are flying at the top of the Erevidise. I think it'll be 1-1.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I thought Monaco was pretty dull tbh, just full of casinos. Doesn't appeal to me, but neither does Vegas.

People only live there to avoid paying taxes.

One of my oldest friends Dad passed a few weeks ago and it's his funeral on Thursday. He used to take us all in his classic old Land Rover to the games, in the days when I stood on a beer crate on the Holte. He was in Rotterdam in '82 so the fixture is rather more emotive than we first imagined, once the wake is done and dusted we will all sit down to watch the match together. My mate still has the bowler hat that Reg wore at the final so we'll all end up sporting that at some point.

The result doesn't seem that important given the context but I'll take another one nil.

RIP Reg Browne.
