NorthernGordon Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 What's your plans? Watching it in the pub or at home with mates? I'm in South Yorkshire and asked on the Yorkshire Villans FB group if anyone local was watching it in the pub. Got no replies though, guess they're all minted and off to Wembley. Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to afford to do it. I've been supporting the Villa for FORTY years this year since I was six years old and just wanted to watch the final alongside my fellow Villans. But I'll be watching alone at home I guess with the missus telling me to turn the telly down etc............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2015 Probably in a pub, with a mate. Who's a Liverpool supporter, but being very magnanimous about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Villa page MOMS was apparently going to enquire about getting Villa Park opened and having the game on the big screens I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Didn't we open the Holte End for the League cup final a few years ago, or was that the Holte suite? Great idea though. Edited April 23, 2015 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm almost certainly not going to be able to get a cup final ticket but I'd love to spend the afternoon watching the final at our amazing stadium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah. If I can't go stick me in the Holte Suite with a load of beer and my Villa family and I'm a happy man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGordon Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 If the tickets for VP aren't too expensive, that's an option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NulliSecundus Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Am looking at a BBQ with a few Villa mates but if Villa open the ground or the Holte suite it's an option.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2015 Showing it at VP is a great idea. I'd definitely go to that if I don't get a proper ticket. Even for purely selfish, money grabbing reasons, the club would be mad not to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 They had the final on the Emirates last season, two massive screens, one at each end. My housemates (yeah, I live with two Arsenal fans) were going to go to it but didn't in the end. May have been beer related, can't remember. But yeah, it's definitely a possibility.

ED Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Could do with watching this in a pub which isn't full of Arsenal fans. Being in NW London, this will be tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGordon Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Either VP or home for me. Yorkshire Lions can do one. A member just left a sarcastic comment which was basically accusing me of being a glory hunter because I haven't been to the pub to see other games. Well, sometimes people get ill and can't get out and about you know....... Apparently supporting the Villa for 40 years man and boy isn't enough - I should have been in the pub for the last two cup games......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm supposed to be working which will involve taking fans to and from the game. Hopefully I'll be able to get the day off but it's not entirely likely. I'm going to see if work have any corporate tickets going too, we should have given how closely we work with Wembley Stadium for big events. Could do with watching this in a pub which isn't full of Arsenal fans. Being in NW London, this will be tricky There will be Villa pubs in Wembley. I'm sure some of them will be populated by people who don't have tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm really conflicted. I'm considering going to Wembley, trying to get a ticket off someone, and if not watching it in a pub, but I know I'll be gutted if I don't get a ticket. May just sack it off, and watch it with my Dad, especially as the train situation will be a knighmare if it goes to extra time. The 5:30 kick off is sending me in that direction.
