Title: Bodymoor Heath visit
Post by: edlisle22 on January 16, 2018, 02:26:57 PM: Hello fellow Villa fans,

I'm looking at visiting the training ground next week time with my lad. Has anyone had any recent experiences there? What time is best to get there? Do the players actually stop to sign autographs?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, might be wise to ring the Villa Park switchboard woman first just to double check they're training the day before you set off

Have fun!

And most interestingly the branding now back to BMH and Recon training complex now removed. Not seen any movement on companies house about our company name changing as still had reference there to Recon or have we left that group completely with Dr T only having minority stake now ?

Sorry so many questions, just really interested
