Rodders Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Thought I'd start a separate topic here as it's our first match back after a mini break and before the team head off to abu dhabi. I can't wait. My first villa game live in 12 years. Assume it'll be a fairly mixed side and I reckon the atmosphere should be a really positive one to commemorate Whitts ( rip ). We've sold out our ticket allocation for this one. For info the game is also being used to mark the establishment of a foundation set up for him https://www.pw7foundation.co.uk/ Also a nice article about him in the Athletic here: https://theathletic.com/3616631/2022/09/23/remembering-peter-whittingham-cardiff-aston-villa/ Quote “He absolutely loved playing football. He didn’t care so much about the salary or sitting on the bench on a bigger contract and collecting more money. He didn’t want to be that guy, he just wanted to play.” Flicking through highlights of Peter Whittingham’s brilliant career, his brother James is recalling the time when the midfielder decided to hang up his boots and retire from professional football... I was trying to find the full highlights of this game, which I remember when he set up Angel twice I think, just found the one clip here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Is this the 1st team?.. Thought it was kind of a testimonial type thing with old pro's and team mates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm only guessing but I think it will be a line-up made of players from our current first team squad and likewise for Cardiff otherwise it probably would have been advertised as Aston Villa XI.

Beastmix Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 For anyone actually going, are we likely to do the away fans 'stand wherever you like' thing or, given the high possibility of there being more casual/local away fans present, sticking to what our tickets say? Doesn't matter either way, but thought it best to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) K Young on the bench only sixteen, I thought he might travel with the squad as he's been training with them but wasn't expecting him to be named on the bench. Will be interesting to see if he gets on. Edited November 30, 2022 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
