troon_villan Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Has anyone ever played at Villa Park? A few of us went down to Newcastle last year to watch my mate live out his boyhood dream of scoring at St James' Park. Ever since, I've wanted to do the same at VP and was wondering who's done it, how much it costs and if anyone would do it in 2015/2016? I know it's pretty expensive, I think St James' was over £100 a head but for a once in a lifetime thing I'd like to do it while I can still put my socks on standing up!

troon_villan Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Are you going to overhit the crosses as well? Fortunately my first touch in real life is better than my Pro suggested! http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/10885-bid-to-play-at-villa-park/?view=findpost&p=1237120 http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/10132-play-football-at-villa-park/?view=findpost&p=1110985 I remember that second thread actually, did anything ever come of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've been on the pitch, twice. Once to hug Angel after he'd scored his first for the club (thus I credit myself with his subsequent form) and second during the Blackburn pitch celebration. It's seriously awe inspiring.

dAVe80 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Was part of the Oldham and Tranmere Rovers Pitch Invasions. The Tranmere one being the better of the two, obviously! Been on the pitch at Boro too, when Crouch scored a last min winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Doubt we could get two teams but I reckon a full team of VT ers is possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Played in one of the Football Aid matches in 2009. Was lucky enough to win an online competition and was managed by Chris Nicholl and had Mark Kinsella on my team. A very surreal experience walking out but when the game starts you just focus on that. It's every once in a while that you look around and think "f'in hell!!! I'm playing at Villa Park!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silafou's_besi_mate Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Football Aid is your best bet, but be careful. The last time I played at Football Aid non of the ex-pros turned up, so we ended up managing ourselves. It also got a bit mad with tackles flying in from everywhere, one lad had his shin pad split in two from one tackle! But it was awesome playing at Villa Park - and you get a full strip to play in too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
