Me and the old fella are on the 19th March tour with lunch included. Cant wait!

I went on a mini-tour as part of Aston Heritage Day.  The guide was very enthusiastic but some of their historical stories were total fantasy.

I went on one recently was great fun with the kids sitting in the dug outs, giving press conferences etc. The guide was funny, one thing he said when we were having photos in the tunnel with the European, FA Cup and Championship trophies was about the Blues stadium tour. Apparently you get to recreate the moment when Mellberg threw the ball to Enckleman! If anything sums up the difference between our clubs it is precisely that.

Our guide mentioned that Lerner had a couple of the stained glass windows from the old Trinity in his house in America. Wonder if he's still got them?

The last one I went on was with mike dale a villa park legend, very knowledgeable.  Mike mentioned that Lerner put a lot of tradition back into the club during his time so credit where credit due

[dave.woodhall]

Mike is, without doubt, a credit to the Villa.

I first went on one in the late 90s with the late great Jack Watts.

Haven't actually done one for about 10 years, do you get a meal anymore or is it just turn up and start the tour?

I wanted to bring my lad up over Easter but when I called they said they're not putting any extra on. You'd have thought it would be a perfect time to put extra ones on.

They have set start times and no, there's no meal. Free programmes at the end though.

I was also fortunate enough to have Jack Watts as a guide in the late 90's. Truly a great man who noted my enthusiasm too.
I have since been on a tour during the "Lunch With A Legend" promotion as part of a Christmas present from my wife. It was great. Ken McNaught was the legend

Really enjoyed the tour today, Diane was an excellent guide and as there was only one tour today we got extra time. I loved being able to stand pitchside at the North Stand and look at the magnificent Holte End.

Some of the views are fantastic.  Also you have to hand Lerner some credit for the restoration work carried out, following Ellis attempting to destroy our history (not for the first time)
