Probably not the smartest thing to do, but on a whim I’ve decided to have a crack at pulling a live blog and video together. I’ve quickly thrown together a page which is very much experimental.

The video is a Veetle stream and it should be tuned to the right station already. If you don’t have it, you will probably need to download the Veetle plugin to see the video. Veetle produce what is probably the best quality video streams around, so I’d definitely recommend it.

The blog will go live with team news etc. an hour or so before the 9.15pm kick off. Click here to access the very first Aston Villa Central Matchday Live. (It may be the last as well, we’ll see how it goes!)
