Someone who is currently 8 years and is born, raised and still lives in Oxford. All his family are from Oxford and still live there and none of them like football or have ever been to Birmingham but he has realised he likes football and chooses to support Villa, is that allowed or is he a glory hunter as he didn't choose Oxford Utd?

He should support Oxford United really.

However the more Villa fans we can get the better  ;)

Support your local team or your dad's team.

Anything else is unacceptable.

What about my mate who was born in Belfast and moved to Stourbridge. Who shoud he support?

A local side to Belfast or a local side to Stourbridge.

Up to him.

I'm mostly not thinking of people who move around though so let's keep this nice and simple.

What about someone who lives in Birmingham and whose dad supports Manchester United even though he wouldn't recognise Manchester on a map?

You'd hope they'd support a local team but if they supported Man U you can't really blame them - it's their dad's fault.

What if their mum supports someone else?

If you get your team off your parents then you can't really be blamed - your parents naturally influence you.

What if they don't support anyone, but you move at an early age?

What if a martian lands in Zambia. Sees football on TV, has no idea what sport is as they don't have that on Mars but loves the game. Is he allowed to support an English club?

He's obviously been a Man United fan since he was born.

What if their parents moved from Oxford to Manchester while their mother was expecting them, but en route their car broke down and they had to spend the night at that hotel by J10 of the M6 at Walsall, their mother went into labour prematurely and while being taken to the Manor hospital she gave birth in the ambulance on the Wolverhampton/Walsall border?

At my place there are plenty of Villa fans (wonder why?), a few glory-hunters and a couple of knuckle-draggers. It would be nice if this initiative (as good as it is) was extended to neighbouring areas.

hang on, but you're omnipresent.  Fuck knows how to cover that entire area.

My brother-in-law, who has had absolutely feck all interest in football in the ten years I've known him, is taking my six year old niece (who also has shown feck all interest in football) to the Villa/Chelsea game this weekend because she was given a free ticket at school.

He's had to pay for his. And now he's gone and bought two scarves, a flag and a fecking teddy bear for her.

She was even singing "Veela, clap-clap-clap, Veela..." to me the other day 

I hope she fecking hates it and wants to leave after ten minutes. Which I'm convinced she will.

Good work Villa.

My niece who goes to school in Castle Brom and my nephew who goes to school in Yardley have both got tickets through this scheme.

I think this type of scheme and the 4-4-£40 deal against Fulham are excellent and a great way of getting young fans into the ground who may otherwise not be able to afford to go.

The noses did this a few years ago with there ‘kids for a quid’ deal and they got a lot of people who may not have had an interest in going to the sty any other time through the turnstiles and even though they may not go now they still call themselves noses.

We need to do things like this to encourage people to support the villa and not become glory hunters following Manure or Citeh.
