There's been a few tasty encounters with Brum over the years. Probably more off the field than on but, of course, there was the 1956 FA Cup final.
Not been to their ground and not bothered.
Been to villa Park and to the Hawthorns. Villa's a nice ground but didn't like the baggies'.
Hawthorns is one of the best away days going.Nice set of fans.Last time i went to Villa park we got beat 1-0 and John Lennon had just been shot.My dads mate got beat up outside before the match started.As a kid i have hated them since and will never step foot inside the place.
last time i was at villa i got kicked out the holte end
Decent draw , not far to travel

They've got a pub that lets home and away fans in, just outside the ground.
They segregate them inside, but the gardens open to both ???
Never had trouble there, didn't like the local busses though, some right weirdos on them.

Yep
Brings back memories; it was in 1956 that i became a firm supporter. Couldn't afford to go to the matches though...Both teams had their ups and downs since then, we were the lucky one...Shouldn't pose a threat but.. it is the FA Cup !!!
