My absolute pleasure. To be able to thank a season ticket holder of 63 years for his support for our club is a genuine honour.
Without him, this grand old club of ours is nothing.

When I asked Chris Heck & Ben Hatton (who set these prices back in May) to explain why it cost twice as much for a Villa fan to stand on the Holte than it did a Liverpool fan to stand on the Kop, for a Champions League game, the line that Anfield was bigger was trotted out.
Villa Park is bigger than the City Ground by 12,000, but here we are, Villa fans being ripped off once again.
The disrespect is just disgusting now. What's even worse is the misinformed apologists on here trying to defend such actions. There's staff at the club who can't believe how spineless fans are in just taking it.

Just to give some context
These prices are higher than Newcastleโs game vs Barcelona in the UCL
Itโs getting to the point that itโs becoming normalised
Club have no right to complain about atmosphere when they continue to exploit loyalty โฆ #AVFC
Premier League atmospheres across the board are as bad as I can ever remember and itโs because the lifelong, die-hard fans are being pushed aside in favour of a different clientele.
Apologies for the elongated nature of this rant, I wanted to get it off my chest.
Emi Buendia 29 yrs old
Leon Bailey 28 yrs old
Both sent out on loan in the last two years, and at that age itโs not for experience, itโs because they arenโt good enough.
Yet both are still very much part of our squad. Thatโs a massive problem.

Gary Hooper scored 2 late goals for Sheffield Wednesday, and caused these celebrations in front of the Birmingham hospitality box ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Itโs 35 years since David Platt did this at Highfield Road.
Lots to appreciate here:
- A perfect ping from Gordon Cowans
- That tremendous first touch
- Some sensational 90s cycling shorts
- The filthiest of finishes
Dear Lord. What a goal.
