Hello North Stand Chat It sure has been sometime since I ventured onto this forum and posted much of anything. But I wanted to make a post as a good amount of you know me and a bit about how I ended up here. I won't bore everyone with the long story but the short version I am a born and bred Canadian that supports Aston Villa (i wanted an excuse to drink more) and I met an Englishmen who was a life long Brighton fan about 10 years ago in my home town. He got me into the football proper and encouraged me to travel over to England to watch football. However, before I could he passed away from an aneurysm/stroke in Jan 2011 but since then I have made 5 treks to England to watch Villa and Brighton (was at the last match at Withdean amoung others).
Before he passed I promised I would be there the next time Villa played Brighton and so here we are now. Making a short 5 day trek over form Canada and got my ticket sorted in the away end. Going to be a great (if maybe a bit emotional in a good way). Looking forward to it and hopefully have some time to have a swift pint with some of you i've met over the years.
