I went to the ticket office with my villa shirt on God like nearly 15 years ago, said to the guy '5 tickets for the Inter Milan game please'. I don't know if he was taking the piss or whatever but he sold me 5 in the away end. Got there all in Villa shirts with a load of Inter fans chanting. Luckily the steward had some tickets on them and we got reseated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted August 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2023 This seems like such a fascinating game -- I can't imagine ever getting to see Lazio in person. I confess, I feel really envious of you all being able to. Wow. Not that Villa aren't just as "big," but Lazio, wow wow wow. I'm very aware of the club's controversial history, and I do keep that in mind. It seems like some of the worst of that has faded a bit, the fascist associations? I don't keep that close an eye on Serie A, but Lazio did so well last year, and, I don't know, it just feels like kind of an honour to be paired with them for a friendly -- not that we're not worthy. What a cool moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train from New Street goes straight to Bescot. You just have to walk over a bridge to get to the stadium. Train takes 20 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
