I went to villa park last season for a cup game, on my doing the 92 attempt. I'll be on their data base so home end tickets would be possible....
Are you going to QPR?
Those points should be added before the Villa on-sale dates.
If it sells out quickly, could there be a beamback? Probably as good as atmosphere than being there and you don't have to go to Birmingham!
I'm guessing that's clutching at straws. Not sure anyone would believe that the atmosphere for a beamback will be as good as being there.
That happened last year v Boro. 3 giant screens opposite a full WSL with beer in seats. A good alternative if repeatedBeamback would be good but with the North Stand open and huge screens on the pitch
and as its not technically a football match - beer allowed in the seats ?
we are also very unlikely to win the Championship that day (Newcastle are at home to Barnsley...).
Shame that it is only 2,700. As has been said many times on here it is something to get used to... the days when we could have as many tickets as we wanted for an away league match are over.
I don't know how to feel about the Villa game. It is difficult to get there even if I can get tickets as we have a family wedding and overnight stay on the Saturday...
The key factor is obviously that it is likely to be "only" an extra day out/celebration... We will be already promoted by then and we are also very unlikely to win the Championship that day (Newcastle are at home to Barnsley...).
It won't be a famous day in our history in the same way as Newcastle, Highbury and Hereford are - so maybe it wouldn't be the end of the world not to be there?
BUT - it will/should be one of the best Albion party time matches to be at and a great day out / end to the season...
Fair point. I'm not sure we're playing well enough to expect to get enough points over the next 5 games to achieve that but I agree we could do. You've convinced me. On balance, I definitely want to be at Villa - partly for the chance of the title and partly just for the party day out and another chance to celebrate and sing promotion songs that might not come again anytime soon...Not sure about that.
What about if we go into the last game of the season ahead of Newcastle, but we are still catchable?
There is a fair chance that it will be decided on the last day. But even so we will be decent odds against to better Newcastle's result at home to Barnsley.I actually think there is a good chance the title will be decided on the last day.
