Aston Villa have been brilliant in all honesty, with the chief exec getting in touch with the Gwent Lions with reassuring words and an offer to buy a new flag and an invitation around the Swansea home game. The response from the club and 99.9% of Villa fans is what you'd expect.
I was in a bit of a dream when I first started reading the thread and was wondering why Belgian Villa fans would have a Dragon on the flag before I realised it was Gwent not Ghent.

Interestingly it would still have worked. One of the symbols of Ghent is a golden dragon.
Or even in Wales.
