Villain

It was the first home game of the season for Aston Villa against newcomers to the premiership, Reading.
The last football match I went to was in the press box at Rotherham United when I was about 18, so being in the crowd at a premiership game was going to be something else.

My mate and boss Tony invited me along and I'm glad I went. It was an awesome experience and I'm definitely going again.
The traffic sucked so bad thanks to M6 roadworks and pricks who don't know how to drive crashing their cars and making everyone late. It wasn't helped by torrential rain.
We got to the ground a few minutes late even though we both ran, so we missed the moment when the team first comes onto the pitch. I really wanted to see that.
We were only jogging my heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest. I don't run.

Anyways, Villa won 2-1. There was even a penalty and a sending off of a Reading player. The game had it all!
Tony was right about the seats as well: they were amazing. Cracking view of the pitch, but still far enough back to get the full force of the atmosphere from the noisy chanting fans at the back.

I just need to get my up to date shirt now.
