Well after heading to Leyton Orient while in London I couldnt wait for the VIlla match.

Mate of mine from the villa board met me at New Street, got me checked into hostel and off for an english breakfast. After that let the pints start flowing!

First ones downed at 10am and we never slowed down. Met up with a bunch of lads from the Villa board (bout 10 in total) for pre match pints and villa discussion.

Wasnt our best match by far, and going down 1-0 was awful. Bent leveled just before half time and the place went nuts. 24+ hours later and im still buzzing from it.

The single greatest thing I have ever done/witnessed. Wondering when I can buy my season ticket :lolol: Already counting down to match v Wigan as cant wait to get back.




My my do I stand out singing, granted my accent is not even slightly close to any English ones so its no surprise :lolol:

Kept at the pints till 11 when I could barely stand. Pass out by 12. Fantastic night.

Cheers Knee0n. Appreciate the kind words. Its only fitting though my first match was v Stoke and was 1-1 Draw, Evans first match was the same thing!

Peev, I think someone mentioned it on another thread, but not sure if you saw it or not. When you are up in Birmingham for 3 days, Brighton are playing away to Notts County (our last game of the season, going to be a HUGE party atmosphere). Notts County is only about an hours train journey away from Birmingham, and you should easily get a ticket for it.

Enjoying the reviews of your matches so far, keep it up! :thumbsup:

Notts County v Brighton will be 1,000,000 times better than Villa v Wigan. And I'm not just saying that as an Albion fan, it just will be. Better atmosphere, more fun, more drunken, and more genuine. You should go to that, you've already been to Villa.
