Are we wearing those classy white uniforms? I sure hope we are! We look so good in them! Those indeed are our second kits, right?

[Kez 2,727]

Thats our third kit though it would make sense if that was the away one, the navy one is more likely to clash if the home one has as well.

Have to agree though the white kit looks sexy as.

As this is my first proper away game, I'm deliberating whether to buy an away shirt. Not sure if I would look sexy in the white shirt though lol. Decisions, decisions.

Don't know if he second kit would clash. It looks kinda black after you add some sweat...

[oxfordblues 299]

in years gone by i would have done this away fixture.for me 2-1 away win.ps its a sky game

[Badboy 1,526]

Lol feels like yesterday we played them with hiddink in charge, anelka's chip fresh in my head still.

[Ray. 217]

If I wear my home shirt, i'm assuming that will be OK for this game? Also I read in the last programme that we have to pay £2 to go in the nearest pub which accommodates us away fans. What that all about? I only want quick pint before Kickoff, which will probably cost me a fiver in all.

Yes it is the Cap and Gown, and it's £2 and apparently they have part of it for home supporters and the rest is for visiting supporters. I musn't grumble as I know it'll be a good day out.

Wearing the home shirt is fine , wear what you like within reason...pink leotards are a def no lol, as they dont sell beer in the away end it will be an expensive pint...im drinking in the center of brum before the game at weatherspoons near the station then a group of us will get a taxi thats how we have done it for as long as i can remember

Thanks mate, as ever sound advice. For this game I will be getting the coach from the Bridge which leaves at 8am, which I think means that we will arrive at about 11.30am at Villa Park. I'd quite like to join you, but I wouldn't want to intrude and I suspect it'll be too late by then, you'll already be at the pub.

Chelsea 3 - 2 Aston Villa. Aslong as we win I'm happy with the score. I hate watching Chelsea play aston villa because I know anything can change rapidly. Do we have Petr Cech back in goal, or is hilario a replacement again?

My train gets in to new street at 10 am you wouldnt want to make your way from the ground to the center of town a 10-15 min train ride if your not getting there till half 11 would risk missing kick off and thats the last thing you want to do..im sitting in block 2 row R i think

I think probably you're right about going into the center. Still would like to say hello at least at some point. Im in block Q3, Row F.

Always a dodgy game because they are a good team who play nice football and we are usually shit there, cept our win there last year. I think it'll be close but we'll just edge it. I'm sure we'll be wearing the home kit by the way, its the less likely to clash. Villa always wear their home kit at the bridge. Our 2nd kit is maybe too dark or not dark enough if u understand that lol and the 3rd kit has white shorts I reckon we'll wear our famous blue there for once.

1-0, frank to finally get one
