So ... Who has been to Villa Park before?

[foul old ron]

I saw Portsmouth play Liverpool there in the FA Cup semi replay a while back. I remember the local kids charging £5 to "look after" our car.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

my mum and dad have, my mum been in every single stand at Villa Park. (Don't ask me why?) and on the way North, I've been past it numerous times but never been.

 

[glasfryn]

I saw us play there sometime in the seventies...can't remember exactly when though, or the score for that matter.

probably the same time I went
score 0-0 and Andy Lockhead missed a sitter

 

[LABHA]

Last time I went to Villa Park I was stood in the playyers' tunnel with England team in a friendly against Portugal.

 

[sams dad]

Saw us lose 2-0 on my 1st visit, must have been 71/72 early season before we started a good run and went up with Villa

I was there for that game . Haven't been back since.

 

[7:18]

have never been, other than Wembley the only other BIG stadium I've been to in this country is Upton Park. Can't wait!

 

[Renns]

Yep, tonnes of times, follow the villa a bit being born in birmingham. Brighton are my first team though so i'l be in the away end! Been 3 times this season in the Holte End, was at the liverpool game the other day.

If you can't get an away ticket then don't get one in the upper holte, good atmosphere but miles away from our fans. Go in the trinity road closer to the north stand and you'll hear us all and get a brilliant view of the game.

Is Villa Park that stadium visible off to the right looking from the M6 in Birmingham? Should be easy to locate by car hopefully!?

Yep

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Yep

I'm talking off to the right heading North. Would you be talking off to the right travelling South, from Yorkshire?

 

[Dorsetgull]

Yup, saw us lose 4-1 there in about 1981. Midweek game. We took the lead as well. The result meant Villa went top of the table.

I was there as well,mid week and Andy Ritchie made his debut for us if I remeber correctly.great atmospere and the noise was deafening when they scored.

I'll take the zimmer and crawl back under my rock now.....

 

[Renns]

Ahh, no then, thats Wallsalls ground to the right travelling north. Villa Park is to the right heading south, so from the south it's on the left. You really cant miss it!

Cheers for that mate. Just checked on GoogleMaps and it looks piss easy to find, and get out from after our 3-0 win

 

[Helter]

never been but been past it on the train a few times and won't be visiting it this time either. Can't be doing with all this will I get a ticket etc.

I'll listen on the radio

 

[GT49er]

Early 80's, in our first division days - we lost 2 or 3-0. Sat in the main stand - crap view - pitch was almost at eye-level from where I was sitting.

 

[Skintagain 1983]

Saw our first ever away game in Div 1 in 79. Lost 2-1 despite playing really well.

Me too. Not been since.

 

[throbinson]

saw shrewsbury town play there in the fa cup early 90s i think

when we drew 3-3 at birmingham when barry fry was in charge the local kids were charging £3 to look after the car, i paid them and fair play car was a ok
