AVFC Lions Clubs
« on: October 07, 2017, 02:35:09 PM »
Can anyone provide me with a list of Lions Clubs in the East Midlands/Lincolnshire area, please?

I have tried Google, the Villa website, and the search facility on here, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance 👍

You could email Lee Preece – he's the Ops Manager for the Lions Clubs, and will be able to point you in the right direction.

Without putting his details in view of any spambots, it's Firstname dot surname at avfc dot co dot uk.

Thanks exigo. I'll give that a go.

Surprised there was nothing on the official site. I think it's being updated, though not sure how long that has been the case.

The website details are well out of date, they're trying to get a new system sorted but blah blah blah.

Without knowing for sure, I would think that a lot of the UK distance  Lions Clubs are suffering not only from the relegation directly but from the lack of 3pm kick offs.

Shame that London being such a large city/area cannot organise travel on a  weekly basis but I suppose people have much more choice as to time off activities  as well as the expense of modern day football.

When we started the new London Lions we were told there were 10,000 exiled Villa fans down here for the taking, "build it and they will come" we were told. We've built it but despite, between, the four of us (North, East, South and West London) having over 500 members there's only enough interest to get 2/3 coaches a season. We have (almost) our own bar in Elephant and Castle and the London Lions Football Team doing the rounds. We're spreading the love but people have other priorities.

I would guess as well that it's as cheap to get here on your own as with anything organised. I think it was Ian Shearer who said that what killed off the original London Lions more than anything was the M40, which meant that anyone sahf of the river could drive here without having to go through the middle of London.

People are right in that there is a much better road structure (until you reach J6a) but seeing so many Villa on trains travelling back to Crewe and Manchester still makes me think someone needs to take the bull by the horns or in our case the Lion by his mane. 

If villa fans in Preston/Newton Le  Willows/ Dorset- Bournemouth can organise regular travel, then there must be scope from the bigger cities.

Most Saturdays you can get the train from London to Birmingham for £11. Where's the attraction in organised travel there?

When I used to travel up from Brighton, both the direct train through Oxford and the service from Euston had a very healthy contingent of Villa fans.
