Title: The Village
Post by: Chico Hamilton III on March 25, 2011, 10:22:43 AM
I'm up in the badlands this weekend for a mate's bash.

Received a mail from Villa this morning, telling me all about the exciting new products on offer in the club shop.

Last time I went in was last summer and it was full of shit.

Anyone been in lately? any decent stuff?

For kids, I mean. Wouldn't catch me dead in any of that nylon/acrylic rubbish. I'd be a walking fire hazard

I'd certainly jump on that Bryce Dallas Howard.
Being blind, she wouldn't be able to run off from me.

I'm never overly impressed

If you want a replica shirt the go to Sports direct anything else cheaper off the internet

Usual pile of overpriced rubbish in there on saturday.

Don't buy the lunchboxes, they are crap.

My other half bought me a dressing gown for last Christmas and I must admit it was shit. After a week it looked liked the dogs blanket

Get 'The Big Match' DVD for yourself if you don't have it already.
Lot's of interesting Villa footage from when you were a nipper.
Think Andy Gray might be on the cover but let that slide and relive your yoof.

The Planet Villa DVD is free when you purchase any other DVD.

 I was disappointed with that. Short clips of games where Villa may or may not have won.

I got a decent jacket & a winter coat a few weeks ago for £40.

I'd be too embarrassed to wear anything with the villa brand on right now. Hopefully that will change in the future.

Embarrassed? I wouldn't be. Wear your colours with pride.

I'm hearing that the Nike deal will be ending pretty soon, no doubt that is why the sale's on

Billy got a great pair of shinpads from the shop on saturday. Didn't do him much good when a little thug went through the back of him on sunday morning though.

Get a retro shirt, they are good quality and they never go out of date.

Over two hours long innit? And Gray is on the picture on the disk, think it's Morley on the cover.

That's Harrogate for you ... the mean streets (it wasn't anyone from Pannal Sports, I hope!).

It is. It also gets ever so slightlyt boring. I'm not sure they found the best games to show.

Saw the title of the thread and was hoping it would be about The Prisoner.
Not some overpriced shop selling tat.

Popped in there Sunday morning, for some bizarre reason they had a book by Bob Monkhouse, presumably because his best mate Dave Ismay had helped write it.

I went in on Saturday morning, armed with a bag of money. The only thing my kids wanted was a Villa teddy each and a cat bowl for their new kittens.

Ended up going into the Holte Pub and spending my money in there instead.

Ripon. All that needs to be said about these big city boys.

They got a hammering off Pannal Sports yesterday though.

You need to be careful on those mean streets of Harrogate/Ripon/Pannal.*
