Lichfield Dean Posted March 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 Let's remember the cautionary tale of 1962-63 when a decision to play a game in bad weather resulted in pitch damage and fixture issues and ended up in an 11 game losing streak and eventually a spiral down into relegation. Hopefully the club management have learned from the lessons of the past and don't replay this mistake again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Aston expressway now closed as several vehicles stuck in snow and still it’s like a blizzard out there - several hours more to come . The A38 Aston Expressway has been closed as police deal with a number of stuck motorists This was taken by the Central Motorway Police Group who wish people had listened to warnings not to drive unless necessary. This is one if the city’s busiest roads on a normal day. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/snow-birmingham-weather-roads-live-14352319#ICID=ios_BMNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other Edited March 2, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you it's much more serious than that. Get the game on, and let's get the 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 The club are still giving off the vibe that’s it all going ahead. The part of the pride stuff, the form guide tweets etc. I know there’s an element of being seen to maintain a positive outlook on it, but I don’t really see much point in sending out this sort of stuff at the end of Friday when it’s so uncertain.

Clough wanted it but Ellis said only one boss at villa and wouldn’t approach him - never heard about shanks wanting it . Clough actually said he would not only get villa up but win the league , strangely the man we went for Ron Saunders did the same thing Edited March 2, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know clough was close. I think I read it the other day in one of my villa books I was browsing through. He was approached, but he didn't give us a second thought.
