MNVillan Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Let me know where to drink in London before the match. I promise I won’t bug you (but I might buy you a pint if you introduce yourself), but we just want a place with an atmosphere and Villa fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted November 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I just thought, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned Aston Hall to you are somewhere to go? Strange really, one of the very shittest areas of Brum has the finest Jacobean house in the country right next to to Villa Park. Ive never actually been but everyone I know whose been says it's really good. Looking at t'internet it's all dressed for Christmas after 1st December.

Popular Post MNVillan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Two biggest things so far: 1. Border control is so far from the gate at Heathrow that my wife’s Apple Watch thought we were taking an outdoor walk 2. Feels good to be here 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's proper posh up here This is warm compared to Minnesota right now, so we’ll take it. Another couple things I noticed: the car dealerships by Brentford’s stadium (which looked pretty nice tbf) are ridiculous. Who needs a 5 story car dealership? I saw a truck with an advertisement for something called Poundland. That’s an… interesting choice for a business name 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2021 Ok I'm on my first "lads" night out in 2 years. The main organiser is frankly gay but married and in denial. I've literally forced the group away from a bar which has led me to here. If you want a drink with the Mrs in a bar run by the Stepford Wives listening to the most ridiculously cheesy music ever invented with no drink option other than cocktail go to Be At One next to New St Station If you want a bit of real ale with Psycho Killer come to Sun on The Hill. Thank **** I persuaded them to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two quite unique pubs in their own right. Edited November 26, 2021 by Wainy316 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
