Brumstopdogs Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Great thread and depends what you class as old. One of the memories I have is away at QPR in the league in 1993 the year we came runners up and there must have been about 10K+ Villa that day. We lost the game but I remember thinking WOW what support we had and definitely outnumbered the home fans... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
