Most City fans know Villa are a good, big club whose fans are looking forward to the trip to Wembley. There’s bound to be a bit of banter and that sometimes adds to the occasion. For many of us, our favourite day before the last decade was the Paul Power FA Cup semi final at Villa Park against Ipswich.
I have to confess that my mum saw a group of young teenagers near the ground who looked bored (Aston in 81). She suggested that they offer to mind people’s cars to get some money, like always happened in Moss Side. Apologies if we made parking more expensive for the Villans over the last 40 years.
Ps: we shared a top bloke and manager in Joe Mercer. Ron Saunders wasn’t so good for us and Billy McNeil left both Clubs in a spot of bother.
Great post - unfortunately Villa Park has been Utd's favourite away ground for too long and we have a shocking record against them. Maine Road was always a cracking day out especially when away fans had the Platt Lane End with the benches, loved it.
