Will the Adventures be open before the game? I know the Old Bill are closing some of the boozers in the vicinty of VP bit the Ads is about a mile away?
Word on the Kingstanding "casual" grape-vine is that alot of the old thugs are coming out of retirement for this game...
Night game = more drinking time
More drinking time = higher risk of violence
4,500 Cardiff = Large hooligan element
Villa thugs coming out of retirement = Large hooligan element
Free tickets = Easy for younger wanabee "casuals" to get tickets
Uh oh
General,
Well done to you and everyone involved with the RV ticket scheme, what a great gesture to the fans of our grand club! Hopefully against Cardiff there will be a big crowd, a great atmosphere and hopefully a Villa victory to see us into the 4th round!
I don't know about that mate, when i've been drinking in the Manor it's normally just normal fans from what i can tell. I reckon i'll be going to the game either from the Manor Tav or the Addies. 11 days to go!
I wasn't saying its full of thugs before every game, but I was in there before the game in November '07 and I can tell you for a fact there were alot of the older yobs who had come out of retirement for that game...
Should be safe enough then :winkold:
