Going to aston villa in 1992 with my dad

Turning up 5 mins before the match started but, somehow, managing to find a parking space right next to the ground (on a grass verge). We assumed we'd get a parking ticket or even get towed but didn't care, we just wanted to see the game at any cost.

We won the game 2-3 and went back to the top of the league if memory serves.

Walked out and the car was still there and we didn't even get a ticket!
