limpid Posted April 28, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 28, 2015 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4674903,00.html Villa v Everton: Upcoming fixture marked as Retro Day in B6 Our supporters have designated Saturday's visit of Everton as 'Retro Day' in B6. To mark the occasion, we're encouraging fans to bring balloons and streamers to create a special atmosphere and get Villa Park rocking. As founders of the Football League, the club prides itself on its traditional values. And what better game to celebrate everything claret and blue than the most-played top-flight fixture in English football? You could don the classic European Cup winning jersey to mark that memorable night in Rotterdam. There's also the 1971, 1994 and 1996 League Cup final shirts as well as our infamous 1993-95 green away number. Gear up for this season's FA Cup final with the striped jersey from the 1957 success in the same competition. Retro graphics will be used on our big stadium screens with black and white replays of the key moments from the clash with the Toffees. This week's copy of the Villa News & Record will be retro-themed to add to the nostalgia from yesteryear. Head back to the 80s as 'Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie' will be played before Craig Armstrong's Escape as the players enter the field. What's more, you can get 20% off retro shirts from Villa Village, New Street and our ONLINE STORE. The offer is valid until Sunday May 3. Please note that jackets and vintage t-shirts are excluded from the offer. Snap up MATCH TICKETS for Villa v Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
