I sit on the sides and we (Villa) were as loud as Brighton for much of the game. You were in the away end far from the Holte so your perception of noise within the ground is totally biased. Your posts about our support make you sound like all the other lower league clubs that come to Villa...

Villa sang a fair bit and no suprise you only heard Albion as I presume you were in the away end? Good game, and hope you all enjoyed Villa Park. Far better than St Andrews?!! Up the Villa

Not been in there for a while but in the past I have seen many away fans in there and no bother. I would advise, for those with the time, going into the City Centre, finding a nice bar/pub and then a taxi to B6 for the game. The chain pubs are a waste of time imo (at best functional) in any...

Usually good quality and it has 98% of Villa games- not sure if Saturdays game is out there, but if it is it will probably be here.

No chance. You will face: Guvan. Beye: Collins, Carlos; Luke Y Albrighton; Sidwell; Delph; NRC/another Delofonz and another

We will play what MON believes to be our best 11 which will almost certainly be the 11 that started the first leg. Personally I would replace Carlos with L Young but I am no manager. And thanks to those wishing us luck. The sentiment is returned- post Saturday!

We took all we could get off them (5400 I think). Blackburn have got the upper North only tonight (about 4000 seats) but have sold under 2000 the last I heard. We took back the tickets they had for the Upper Doug Ellis block and they are now being snapped up by Villa fans. The ground will be...

From Wiki: The company Euroteam is a well established ticket scam. Norwegian based EuroTeam forces customers to confirm that they are buying tickets for a company in order to dilute consumer protection laws. They promise to deliver tickets often confirming their delivery up until minutes...

Yep, and regardless of cold weather the ladies will be out in large numbers and little clothes!

Do you mean the Duck on Hagley Road? If so it was last time I was in that part of town. An interesting area with a number of hotels, ok pubs, street prostitutes and dodgy hostels.

Not at the Bullring itself. Across the road from the Bullring is the Arcadian (Chinese Quarter) with a number of bars.

Broad Street at night is very busy and a bit of a chav fest. During the day its good for drinks as there are dozens of bars- some will not allow football colours. Brindley Place just off Broad Street has better bars/pubs. Alternativey the Arcadian has a more 'clubby' bar culture. From New Street...

I was once in the Wickbourbe Swan (long since gone) and there was a guy in there that had a few fingers missing. He seemed quite proud of his self inflicted injury. Sustained in a suicide attempt where he tried to end it all by blowing himself up, so he claimed, just one of the local oddballs...

Go in the sides. Either is better than behind the goals. Just be aware that the stewards will enforce the home support only rule and home fans do take offence at away fans in their seats. I am sure you know this already but no Brighton colours in the home seats, if Brighton pull off a great...
