jamesknowles visited Villa Park on 13/06/1996
Game watched: Netherlands 2-0 Switzerland
Villa Park was one of the first Premier League grounds I visited and I instantly fell in love with the place. Awash with the orange of Dutch fans, it was a real treat to visit at Euro 96. I've subsequently watched Villa numerous times and have quite an affinity for them. A European night against Ajax was a real highlight. Cup ties are usually pretty cheap and access is relatively simple off the M6. Probably the last remaining big ground which hasn't been tampered with, thus retaining its character.
