chrisp65 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Pub lunch in a pub that didn't have a big screen. Then a walk along a few miles of beach to walk off the roasties, a coffee and a giant slab of cake and a walk back again to walk off the cake. Plus a walk by of one of my fave buildings, god bless brutalism, eh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That immediately renders any claim to superiority over American rugby or any other kind of mud wrestling null and void. Massive fail. I concur. You'll have to take my word for it and accept that I wasn't there the day in the summer of 2013 that new name was chosen. I would have been slightly more aggressive in the name chosen, it certainly would have been shorter. But I wasn't there, I was working away. So you get naming by committee. For legal reasons and boring nerdy historic reasons we needed a name distinct from a couple of other names already 'owned' by the nutjob we beat in court to take over the running of the club, but that also reflected a continuity with older names and references. In fairness, we have also absorbed quite a few other local clubs that had very different names, ladies footy (Vale FC) and a brilliant disabled / mixed ability team (Glamorgan reds), plus kids teams from Rhoose that were blue and a second 11 from Cadoxton that were green hoops. So grudgingly, the united is there for a reason, it's not just some tosser that likes manchester that picked it. Mashed in there, we've got heritage from teams with town, unionist, united and athletic in their titles. But as I say, personally, it's not to my taste but naming day I was literally in a secure facility in Kent. My vote was CPD Barri. Nobody ever refers to us as 'united' it's certainly never been shouted from any terrace, it doesn't appear on any merch.. It's a nice simple 'town' for day to day use and shouting purposes. .

Epic. A pub I used to go to every week had those big fat candles on the table. We used to constantly twit about with them My favourite was pushing your finger down on the side wall till it got low enough to let the molten wax escape like a volcano. Taking wax thumb prints, pouring shapes onto the table, moulding the warm but pliable wax, got a blury photo somewhere from an early phone camera of a pint glass we decorated into a wizened old man with wax. Happy days. Edited February 6, 2017 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the evening was always a rousing rendition of 'I feel like chicken tonight', if you're gonna cover someone else's work you may as well make it a well known one! My mates band used to cover the Rainbow tune for a bit of childhood nostalgia. He liked it as he was the drummer and got to do the power drumming at the start. Also in the early days when he had a Simmons kit they used to cover Kelly Marie feels like i'm in love purely so he could to the doo doo electric drum bit. The crowd (me and another mate) used to love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a long haired bloke Infront of me who looked like he had taken way too much acid over the years and he had the new villa shirt on. I drunkenly let him know that I liked his shirt.

I drunkenly let him know that I liked his shirt. I was at T In The Park (in Scotchland), and saw a lad in a Villa shirt. I said something like, "nice shirt mate, up the Villa", and the lad just looked right through me. His mate then apologised to me, and told me he was off his tits, and not to be offended.

Rugeley Villa Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 T in the park looks like you get a lot of riff raff there. Any good? We, well I say we but I got friendly with these two blokes Infront of me, ya know headbanging,pissed up hugging and all that cobblers. Anyway we walked out of the arena together and I asked where they were from and they said willenhall. They had to get three different trains to get home so I said we would drop them off because my wife was driving, obviously can't drink at the moment. The one lad was an Everton fan and the other wolves. Good job I don't mind either club or they could of got the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been twice (won tickets through work last time), and can honestly say it's one of the friendliest festivals I've been to. There did seem to be a larger 'Chav' element, but on the whole, they're all there to have a blast and get wrecked. Can't argue with that. I did get stitched up by a lass I was seeing the first year though. She got a box of cans, with the England football team on, and asked me to carry them for her. As you can imagine, I got a few cat calls, and boos! All in good spirit though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
