Hello
I'm dave, i post on occasion, i'm from Cleveland, Ohio USA and i am an adopted Villa fan thanks to Mr. Lerner. I attended a match at Villa Park in November 2010, (vs Man U, a 2-2 draw)
And i loved it. It was an FA cup weekend that 2nd time that i visited England and only could take the Villa Park tour that time. Well, my wife and i are planning to come to England again this fall, and it is around the American thanksgiving holiday, which would put us in line to go to a match on the 23rd, which is away at West Brom. I'd love to go, but as it is a darby match, and i've only been to one match at Villa park is it something i can/should do? I understand restrictions on opposing team colors outside of the supporters section, but if i kept things low key could i sit in the general area of the stadium if i kept quiet?
Don't want to cause trouble, but would hate to miss a chance to see villa play, especially after i heard the news about Benteke today. Saw him play for Belgium vs. the US in Cleveland this year, and i'm so excited he chose to stay.
Anyway, let me know what i should know, and if you think this is a good idea or not.
And as an aside, i just got confirmation to my tickets with the American Outlaws to see the USA take on our big rivals Mexico in Crew Stadium in Columbus in september...and i get goosebumps just thinking about it.
