I really am. I'm looking forward to my son and his mates experiencing Villa away for the first time too.

Definitely not.
I still have the mental scars from 1970s/80s/early 90s visits to VP, when we lost every one except one draw when Garry Thompson scored an equaliser (1979?)
I missed the 2 wins there as I was convinced I was the jinx.
I did go again twice in late 90s - we lost again, of course.

Local rivalries have always played a huge part in the history of football.
Why so negative !!!

The 1979 draw was my one and only visit to Villa, I was 10 y/o and with
my Dad and Brother.
I was at that game sure it was then Graham Oakley got injured and never played again and I think we went 1-0 up in the 89th minute giving us hope of a Villa Park victory at last only for Villa to go straight back up and equalise.

Can’t remember how and when the goals came but I might have a hazy
Memory of an injury.

No disrespect to League alone but it'll just nice to play some 'traditional' football teams like Sheff Wed, Nottingham Forest, Derby, Middlesbrough, Birmingham etc instead of Rochdale, Tranmere, Lincoln, Fleetwood etc...

Villa yes. But there’s some crackers away from that. Sheff Wed. Forest. Norwich. Brum. Derby. I will miss MK Dons though!

I work with a few Villa fans ... and was at VP when we got relegated.. sick to the pits of me stomach . I remember 40,000 of them sing “We’ll meet again”
I,d love to be playing them next season
Never had a great record against them but would love to be at a packed Ricoh with 30,000 singing SOTV ... I need closure !!

I know. I went to the Moldovan 1-0 and the 4-1 the year after.
Edit: Yeah I was responding to the thread title and not the post above my first post.

It’s got to be the Vile away for me . Great day out .
Train to Witton station , taking over the witton pub . The atmosphere we generate inside and outside the shit hole . Then the fun and games queuing to get the train ( good old days ) . No love lost full on ..
Bit older now so will leave the fun for the Cov youth to sort out . All adds up to a great day out . PUSB .

Really glad our young supporters are going to get a chance to visit some of these teams.
My son was really young last time we were in the Championship so he saw us play a lot of these teams but only at home. Lower leagues have been great but there will be some big fixtures next season.

Good post, my lad is 17, only ever known lower league opposition, and I will delighted for him to visit "big" teams grounds with Cov as their equals.
And so will I

Agreed. I remember back in the day being fed up of being stuck in the Championship. Now having come out of it in the wrong direction the teams in it seem massive in comparison to what we've been playing every week. Looking forward to each and every game.

Villa relegation or staying up I don't mind, whichever makes if more likely to get o hare

The compensation will probably be lower if they're a Championship team. Win win.

Loads of places we'll get that, the one that stands out is Blackburn but it's a bit of a trek.
I'm hoping Fulham don't go up so we can FINALLY play them.

I also like Forest as an awayday, you can make a real din in there where the away fans are put.

One sided silly nonsense. 60-70’s “rivalry” was Wolves, 80’s and 90’s was Villa, 2000’s was Leicester and now it seems to be Sunderland more than anyone else. About time we made our mind up who our “rivals” are.
