Thanks for all your entries into the competition and I am delighted to say I received over 150 winning answers. Thanks to all who entered.
The question was which road now is situated on the site of Villa’s first ever game. The answer was (as per Simon Inglis’s fantastic book – 100 Years of Villa Park)
Wilson Road
The winner as picked at random was
Chris Hearn from Wolverhampton
Congratulations Chris and I have sent you an e-mail with the contact details, ENJOY the celebration dinner, I know I will !
great result ! I was there in 82 as well. Cheers up the villa !

Well done Chris.
The black tie proviso put me off from entering, but sadly and somewhat embarrasingly, I wouldn’t have known the answer anyway
What’s wrong with the occasional black tie shindig?????
Nowt.
If you’re into black tie stuff.
I’m not: far too snotty for me.
Hmmmmmm…methinks you’ve been to the wrong BT do’s mate! They’re not all old ‘local businessmen’ type functions…
You might be right mate, but I won’t wear a black tie at a funeral either.
And they’re the only black tie dos I’ve ever been to.
I am going because it is part of my 40th birthday present !
Happy birthday then mate!
I’m sure it’ll be a good night.
