spiezels Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Got your PM Mate so I'll text you when I'm heading north and you're about. I'll be heading the baring tomorrow about 2 or so, got some shit to do first then I'll make a move. Beats streaming it and sitting on my tod gettin angry haha. Hold your horses here fellas - I've just looked back at the thread and there's no 100% at all that Baring will be showing 3pm kick offs. I'm really sorry if that's the impression I gave...bah I guess I'm for it now Haha I got too excited! I'll give the baring a ring in a bit then. Is anyone heading somewhere today for the game?

Agbonla-score Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just noticed this thread. Would definitely be up for making the trek over to a London pub if fellow VT'ers were meeting up. Lets keep this thread going to raise awareness; I'm sure there's loads of us down here how would love to meet at a villa pub. If there's enough of us we could even make it worth the Landlord's while.

Agbonla-score Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 ......in fact, isn't there a London Lions club or something? I recall seeing it somewhere, possibly facebook. We could pool resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 i think the best thing is arrange a game on VT and give evryone afew weeks notice then there will be loads of us there. maybe boggies game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I do think it's best that we keep this going and arrange a first game for one that Sky will be showing. I think that might be the Norwich game but I it also might be a bit too soon. Interesting to note that the 3 Kings has us on - that'll be the only confirmed 3pm kick offs that I know of in London I have a meeting at 2pm (round the corner from the Baring as a matter of fact) so doesn't look like it's possible for me to make it to Kensington today. I think, after having a quick look, that the first match we should all go for is the 30th September derby against the Boggies - 4:00pm, Sunday. We all pile into the 3 Kings or the Baring, depending on whether West or Central/North London is easiest for the majority. Regarding London Lions - seems to have died many deaths. There have been three in the past 6 years or so, nobody has managed to effectively get of their arse and muster Villa fans. I think the closest operational Lions club is now in Essex, which is a bit too far for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Im keen to be a part of this lads.Whenever i've watched Villa in a pub in London i've never been alone - there's always other villains - so be good to meet up with a few, sink some beers and get behind the boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Im going to the Baggies game. I was kind of trying to stay as a passenger for this but I'm happy to help on the organisational front if needs be. Not sure what that would entail, but I'm game. Islington Claret, seems you have talked yourself into a leadership role ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Me and sellyoakvilla (if you remember him) would be up for this. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 which pub you guys looking at? might be up for it as well. shame you cant make it dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonVilla Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Really happy with how this has snowballed! I'd be up for the baggies game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Whoops! I'm no leader, trust me! So lads, the choice is as follows: The Baring, Islington/Hackney (North/Central) The Albion, Hackney (East) The Famous 3 Kings (West). Think we should put our votes in. On a seperate note I've just booked tickets at the Emirates to watch the Arsenal play the MIGHTY Coventry City. If them lot chant "shit on the Villa" I'm going to piss myself.

EastEndVillan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm up for it, obvious preference for either the Baring or the Albion (would we really want to go here for the boggies game?). I live in Walthamstow, and there used to be 2 or 3 pubs showing the football on a Saturday afternoon. The Bell is closed for a referb, The Flowerpot doesn't seem to be doing it anymore. I shall continue to my research, an dreport aback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i think the one in islington sounds good as its quite centrally. the only thing is we need to make sure arsenal are not at home that day as it will be an absolute nightmare to get home!

islingtonclaret Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've been to the Flowerpot in Walthamstow (great pub actually), but it's a bit far away for everyone I think. Eastendvillan is right...why on earth did we suggest the Albion? Going to be full of yammers! Arsenal are not on the sunday, so it's okay. I know what it's like, I had to walk home from near the Baring back to Upper Holloway...traffic around that Airport-style stadium is a 'mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 17, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2012 We're the only PL game on that day and we're on Sky. If a pub won't show us against the Baggies then they'll never show us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
