I've been in it for England games before but wondered if any fellow VT'ers had been in there for a Villa Wembley trip before and what the atmosphere was like? rammed beyond rammed, even a sardine in a can had more room !!!!! i went in there at 11am before last seasons playoff final. 10 deep at the bar and a nightmare to get served i ended up getting the underground, a few yards up the road, to The Windermere at South Kenton.

leighavfc Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 So the green is out of bounds according to the police fan consultation thing they do. Brent council are putting up fencing around it for finals from now on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 26, 2020 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2020 This could be a very awkward thing - as you say, you're looking at 2,000+ displaced people - the pubs are full by one or two o'clock, boxpark is already sold out and the fan park will fill up very quickly - if you end up with a couple of thousand fans wandering around looking for somewhere to be, you're going to get unexpected results. I'm not sure how this'll work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on the Brent Metropolitan Police Twitter feed. I've googled 'The Green Wembley fenced off' and the only thing i can see on this is an article in the Birmingham Mail which has no quotes or links to the direct information (typical from this rag). I would have thought there would have been some information widely available on this when searching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a couple of Villa fans meet with police to discuss things about policing matches every so often. Its during this meeting that wmp said it. If you look at the AVFC_WMP twitter account, they confirmed it I believe. Update: There doesn't seem to be any more areas around to go to other than the official places and pubs. Avfc_WMP says its fan zone in front of wembley arena, but cant take your own beer. Annoyed now as got all the beer in ready for it, going to be mayhem in the pubs now.

It would not surprise me if it were to be 'fake news' and come the day it's full of Villa fans for this match i'll be having a civilised drink in central London in one of the many quality establishments in Marylebone then getting the tube into Wembley.

leighavfc Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) There definitely is on wmp it's in their replies.. its on various Villa related twitter pages too like MOMs and Bromsgrove Villa etc. I'm hoping it isn't true but looks like it is! I think we will change plan to do something similar and then see if the green really is a no go and go from there!

rodders0223 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 At the green the last 2 years, last year it was utterly ridiculous and very moody vibe after a few hours. Loads of pissed up Villa fans, smallish area, huge mass of people. Cans chucked. Mate got one off the head from a fellow supporter. Not the worst decision in the world.

Yeah it went a bit mental, the highlight for me was 'Arry Redknapp driving past in his Range Rover and Villa fans chasing him down the road with bank notes. A Derby fans coach got attacked as well with bottles, cans and anything else that wasn't nailed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
