It's Your Round Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) 6 hours ago, handsworthvilla said: Can anyone recommend a decent pub near the ground to take the Mrs before the game? Its my first game at VP in a year and I don't think my southern girlfriend would feel too comfortable in many of my old haunts. Anywhere a bit more mature near VP? I quite like the Aston Tavern, it's decked out nicely and there's a courtyard area outside you can congregate in. It's near the ground, just down from the church so less than ten min walk. It's not cheap though, £3 to get in and about £4 a pint! I should add; I took my missus there last time we went and she really liked it. But she is a northerner so may not be a good barometer for you Edited September 5, 2016 by It's Your Round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2016 Oh and I see Forest are about to sign Niklas Bendtner just in time for the weekend. What are the odds he starts off with a bang? What with him being one of the best strikers in the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked from Bartons Arms to Villa Park in about 20 mins (not trying to be pedantic) - it's all good for the steps though either way. If you've got a fitbit then that'll go nicely to the 10,000 steps a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you see anyone wearing a Kozak shirt in the stadium, it's probably me. I'm probably the only sale of a Kozak shirt in his entire 3 years here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a look online and seems like it will do the trick, a bit closer than the Barton Arms as well. And to be fair I've been in London for 6 years so I'm not used to seeing any change from a fiver for a pint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Be interesting to see who is dropped for the new boys if any at all. i think we might see both on bench or ayew for grealish and kodjia up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6065_Villa Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'd be pleased with a solid 4 points from the next two games, then we need that much needed away win and I think we can go on a bit of a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof hearted Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Taking my 8 and 10 year old nephews to their first live game (lower holte, because of you louts at the back), I'm hoping they don't become glory hunters as they don't really "support" anyone yet, so a nice 3 or 4 nil win will do very nicely indeed! Edited September 8, 2016 by Hoof hearted They don't support anyone yet because my brother-in-law is an egg chasing nerd FYI! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
