I know many years ago when they had a tie in with Rover the players drove to the training ground in their jags and ferraris and got into a Colliers sponsored Rover to drive to the ground

Now they all arrive together in the team coach.

I remember going to the training ground many years ago and saw Ray Graydon getting into a Ford Cortina 2000E with a vinyl roof and my Dad saying "flash git"

Maybe we will see the return of cars driving around the pitch at half time and before kick off, a-la 1980s Maestros and Metros, Jesus they really were crap cars.


All I remember of that was the Evans Halshaw or Colliers cars being driven round the perimeter with Deano & Garry Parker taking pot shots at them

Big cash boost for Aston Villa’s transfer ambitions

The club has finished in the top six of the Premier League in each of the last three seasons - something no other club outside Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal has managed.

Something nice to read to counter all this negativity going round.

I thnk this is the plan Faulkner and co are working to. Randy wants the club to be self-sufficient and the only way to manage this is to tie up these big commercial deals. Gate receipts don't contribute much to turnover as opposed to TV and corporate sponsorship. I would expect any new North Stand to be sponsored.

Can you imagine seeing John Carew pull up at BMH in a Fiat 500!


You should have a go in a Fiat 500 Arbarth. It'll blow your cock off.

In the current climate we can't be too picky about sponsors. Fiat/Alfa are as good as anyone to be the official car suppliers.

.

The ones that could barely make it around the pitch perimeter at half time without spluttering to a halt in a puddle of oil?

Remember the "state of the art" electronic scoreboard at Villa Park proudly announcing that "Steve McMahon drives an Austin Maestro".

And Ken McNaught sent his club-issue Montego back because he couldn't fit his dogs in the boot...

What a different world it was back then
