For all Villa fans in Scotland
« on: August 23, 2010, 10:03:09 AM »
Hi all,

I run the Edinburgh Lions, the Scottish Branch of the Villa Supporters Club and am looking for new members. At present there are 11 of us and unfortunately we chose to have our first outing at St James Park.....less said the better.

There are a couple of us who are season ticket holders, who drive down to home games and are happy to offer lifts. The longer term plan is to arrange a minibus or coach to run to games but this is obviously dependant on numbers interested.

So if you are a Villa fan living in Scotland and want to join other sad souls with more money than sense.....I mean dedicated Villa supporters then drop me a line. The club is free to join and your membership card gets you a few perks - see the link below.

Keep the faith

Hi mate,

I live in Edinburgh. Will pop on and join up. Do you have a favourite or arranged place to watch games?

Cheers,

JV

Hi mate

You just need to email me your name and address and I'll get a card in the post to you. We don't have a 'local' yet as a fair few of the members live in Glasgow. One of the guys does run a pub in Musselburgh though so it may become a meeting place. If enough folk join from Edinburgh we can sort something out a bit more local.

Oops! Missed this thread as I was too busy moping after Sunday's result

Me. I'm out in the wilds of East Lothian but spend a lot of time in Edinburgh.

There are one or two other people on here from Scotland too.

Hi there,

Glad to see there are at least a few villains in Edinburgh. I'm certainly up for joining. I could probably only go to about 5 or 6 games a season though.

I'll email you my details. 

Cheers,

Strevs

I was up in Edinburgh last week but was only working there for a couple of days, sorry.
It's a fantastic city I will add.
If I'm up there again for a match I'll get in touch.

Hi there,

My girlfriend & I get to as many games as we can from Edinburgh... often tie it in with a visit to my folks in Leicester though so don't know how frequently we'd want to travel.  Would be great if we could sign up just in case though!

Cheers,

Tom

Hi there,

Glasgow-based Villa fan here. I mainly go to away games up north, though fortunately I couldn't make it to Newcastle last Sunday. Would be interested to hear about any arrangements for joint travel to home and away games.
