7392craig Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Since Sherwood took over, we've won every game I've watched at home. All the others I've watched down the pub. Safe to say I'm staying in for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 When we got to the cup final in 2000 when I was teenager, I had to go to my cousins wedding so missed it. Immediately after the final whistle of the semi-final, I realised that May 30th is the date of one of my best mate's weddings. I've never been to another wedding in May. What are the chances eh?

Razor Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The Green Man pub at Wembley is probably where I will go, it's Villa only this year. If I can get a ticket for 200 I will pay that but it's likely they will be 500 which I'm not willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get a ticket for 200 I will pay that but it's likely they will be 500 which I'm not willing to pay. Will they show the game? I'm thinking of going down and trying my luck but don't want to be without somewhere to watch it if i can't get a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah it's a football pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah it's a football pub It depends on restrictions. They might have to shut or not serve alcohol during the game. I did email but never got a reply. Got other plans now so haven't bothered to ring to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
