Rugeley Villa Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I can understand why a Villa fan would want to watch a game vs United rather than a game vs blues:1) league games are considered by many as bigger matches than league cup games.2) The United game was on a Friday night after a win. The blues game is on a Tuesday after 2 losses.3) The United game there is normally little expectation whereas the blues game has a toxic atmosphere not really that suitable for younger fans.4) The quality of players from the opposition team is better in the United game.5) we always get beat by united.

Woodytom Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 My mind was pretty much made up anyway but yesterday was the nail in coffin. I refuse to spend a fortune watching drivel. Which it is highly likely to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2015 ^^^ and "neutrals". I bet people will come to watch a football match because United are playing. So not particularly United fans, but coming to see United... if that makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm going, but I don't really want to!I have a season ticket and normally wouldn't think twice about going to cup games but this time I'm only going because my other half wants to having never experienced the true derby. An important reason behind my reluctance is the fact it's a no win situation for Villa really. Win and we should have, scrap through and we're lucky, lose and it's humilation. Where's the glory? Blues go in to this game with nothing to lose, even a loss can be covered with the 'we matched them for x minutes' line.Obviously add in our awful form, it being a generally nasty environment, it being a Tuesday night, it being live on Sky and being rather overpriced for an early round League Cup game I can fully understand people staying away. I should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2015 The only way we really win in this situation is to absolutely hammer them.But there's no way we'll do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The only way we really win in this situation is to absolutely hammer them.But there's no way we'll do that.Don't ask why after some of the drivel served up this year, but It seems I'm more confident than most about this one. I think we'll smash them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2015 I don't think we'll smash them. But I do think we'll win. I was a lot more confident when I thought Gana would be playing though. He's the kind of player that would destroy a lower league team I reckon.

Demitri_C Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The only way to give us a win is by us all going down there and making it a electric atmosphere for the bloserS Hopefully we get a good crowd for this one.anything above 37k for a midweek cup game that's live on TV would be good support for theteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 37k is pretty decent - hopefully we get a few more. Looking forward to it - love the intensity of the derby atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Rang through today at about 10:45 and got through straight away (was checking the situation about wheather I need to collect tickets). I was thinking it'd take ages, so as it didn't, I'm wondering if we'll be shifting many more than we already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
