dAVe80 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) so my choice for the final is: 1) stay at home, get some beers in, and watch on my own 2) Go to my mate's 30th bday party in London with all my mates, they are having a BBQ. Would have a great time normally. But instead i'll need to sneak away into their lounge between 4.30-7.00 to watch the game, and get grief from people for being anti-social. No other Villa (or Arsenal) fans will be there. What to do? I assume its showing on BBC? Normally I would say option 2, but if you're anything like me, you'll be unbearable after the match, no matter the result (assuming you're not with other Villa fans). On the other hand, you'll have plenty of booze at hand, for celebrating / commiserating. Also, does option 1 involve being in or around London? If not, option 2 gives you the chance to ditch the party, and go find some like minded souls. Edited May 13, 2015 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If you London Villa Talkers go The Clay Oven me and my sister might join before/after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Brummie Villans without tickets might be interested in this. It's a screening of the cup final at Boxxed warehouse in Digbeth. There's about 150 free tickets left and you can book up to 9 of them I think, there's just a 50p transaction fee to pay. After that it's £5 per ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 At a tenner, watching the game with loads of other fans right by Wembley is a great shout, so I'll going to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Like Lions Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The club aren't doing anything. 2 weddings booked in and a company has apparently hired the pitch for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm considering going to the clay oven. I think this weekend I'll find out whether I have managed to get a couple of tickets through the 'football family' so waiting till I make any plans. Anybody watching the match somewhere in Bath/Bristol? as ater London or Birmingham that is my third option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Cant believe the club have not announced we will be doing anything for the fans at home, First final fa cup final in 15 years, Missed a trick with that one. Maybe they will now its Sold out and the ticket office/lines are not in melt down? Edited May 15, 2015 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For once I feel better placed in London, huzzah! I have no idea why they're not opening up VP. Seems stupid to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They have a couple of weddings booked in, and a company has hired the pitch I believe. This was in place before we made it to the Cup Final. Hence why they can't open the ground up and show it on a big screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of all that is that the weddings are more likely than not Villa fans. How unlucky must you be to have planned your wedding day for then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How unlucky must you be to have planned your wedding day for then! I thought the exact same thing! The weddings are going to be full of gutted guests, who would rather be watching the Villa at Wembley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 A Company has hired the pitch? What on earth are they going to do with it?.. They do realise its £200k's worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, I'm guessing they'll play football on it. If it was me though, I'd probably just roll around on it, laughing to myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) **** me how much we charging them for us not to cancel and have a big screen on for the fans.
