( And no it wasn't Neo) imp:

This game is on my birthday weekend for my 21st. So definitely going to make a weekend of it. Hopefully it can be topped off with a Cov win.

I just read on twitter that this game will be on Saturday at 3pm. Can anyone find anything to back this up?

Is this set in stone as I can't find it anywhere official?



>> Even on The FA website it lists both the Birmingham match & the Villa match as 15.00 KO

I've checked the FA website and nothings been confirmed there (apart from the Southampton vs Man United game) But if Villa is an early kick off on the Saturday, i would've thought the Brum game would be held on a different day for security reasons.

On the Villa website it says their kick off is going to be 1pm on Saturday because we're playing Blues at 3pm.

It's written here on the Aston Villa website:

Not sure if this can be true, can both of these games be policed in one afternoon?? I really hope we get the Saturday slot!!!

I can't see why people are so obsessed about who Villa are playing and when?

They haven't picked the tele games yet, but I don't think either of them will be on the box live.

We've got a chance of being on the TV because it's a derby match

The queue for the club shop after the game at the weekend was huge, i don't think it'll take that long for them to all get sold.

Need a quick response to this! the only seats left are on the far right of the stand, not the worst, but not the best. Are they releasing tickets for the upper stand? Is there a better view from there? might wait for those if they do!

I managed to find two tickets on the left side of block six half way back which i somehow hadn't seen, snapped those bad boys right up! Love the FA cup, always make an extra effort for it!

Looking at the ground guide that small top section thats cutoff looks abit boring anyway... very small section it is.

(as the picture below shows) its the small area at the top of the whole stand

Did anyone go to Newcastle about 5 years ago? someone handed out balloons on all of the buses, released thousands of them at the start of the game, was awesome!

Surely you meant to say "Didn't mean to burst your balloon"? Sounds like a good idea to me!


Anyone know anything about a football special train? Someone on FB said they're running one?

Remember at villa in the cup, we had thousands of ballons then! the colour,noise and everything made it seem like a home game, i am sure it helped

Does anybody know what the majority of City fans will be doing for this game?
I've read in places that lots of people will be drinking in The Rocket then getting the train and walking from New Street to St Andrews. Is that what people here are doing? And any indication of what time train etc?
Would just be good to move with the crowd i think, and to maximise my drinking time before the match!
