Wasn't able to catch game, some form of family reunion, saw that we lost, but if we weren't playing starters much then 1-0 isn't bad.

yeah Villa had a lot of chances though, they missed wide open nets a couple of times, but overall it was a great experience

Best part of the day was the supporters match in the morning.... though we lost that too.

How the **** am I supposed to do anything when directly matched against Ian Taylor?

Since 1875, formerly Small Heath Alliance F.C. Been going for awhile now but with little to show for it, still, have to stick by 'um.

Ya, hard to image such long histories here in North America. Only pro sports teams here that have existed that long are the Chicago Cubs (1870) and Atlanta Braves (1871) in the US and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1869) and Toronto Argonauts (1873) in Canada.

Well thats some history older than a lot of footie clubs here in England. Can you remember your first Fire game ? My first Blues game v Cardiff City away many years ago.

Yes, first offical game was an away game at Miami Fusion we won 2-0 (Richie Kotschau and Roman Kosecki were the goal scorers)

First home game was against Tampa Bay Mutiny we won that game also 2-0, in front of 36,444 fans (Frank Klopas scored both goals, yes our current coach).

Thats an impressive attendance for any game. Are your grounds all seaters ? We miss the terraces they're only allowed in the lower divs.
