mjmooney Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Call me a humourless old grump, but I don't get it. Once I got past the faux Peter Kay persona, all I could see was a bloke with serious health issues who's going to be one more drain on the NHS until he dies too young. It's not entertaining, it's tragic. Edited May 2, 2022 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this on Friday. It was... OK. Some really funny bits and some that didn't hit the mark for me. Glad I went but i'd give it a 7/10. Anyone else go? @Paddywhack you said you had tickets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Was just walking past a rose garden in a park in Nottingham with my youngest, never been there before. An some geezer with his daughter was wearing exactly the same Villa shirt as I had on. I'm in Nottingham, bet he wasn't even a fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 30 mins or so was excellent I thought, but certainly tailed off before the interval. Second half was okay. I think I was more disappointed with the lack of audience interaction. When they brought the female actor up on stage but she had a cockney/Essex accent even though we were in the middle of Birmingham...it totally missed the mark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t work out a word he was saying whilst he was singing either. If I’m honest, I don’t think Alan Partridge really works live anyway, especially in a room that size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really quiet area, maybe a dozen people walked past in the hour we were there. Including another guy out for a walk with a baby, wearing exactly the same Villa shirt. What are the chances. I love that shirt, I won an original version on eBay last week. It wasn’t cheap! (I haven’t been in Nottingham though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I’m selling, simply curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’ve got my dad’s original 81/82 away shirt, worn in Rotterdam. Great condition. Must be worth a bit? Not that I’m selling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I find Nottingham to be a very locally-supportive city - most people are Forest or County fans, really nowhere near the levels of glory hunting that is seen in Brum. Having said that, Villa seem to be one of the more supported “other teams” here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2022 Anyone know when the club first started selling replica kits? I've got photos of me and my brothers playing in the garden in a replica kit from I would say very late 70's. I'm not aware they sold replica kits much before then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral started the replica shirt trend in 1975 with Leeds Utd but that was mainly aimed at kids it wasn't until 1977 that they marketed them to adults, which obviously caught on very quickly through all the top teams 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
