When my Son got home today he discovered he had been sent a cardboard tube from the Villa Marketing dept.
In it was a two sided poster - on one side was his name on the back of a Home shirt, hanging up in the changing rooms, with Bent 9 shirt and Agbonlahor 11 shirt either side.
On the reverse is the Trinity Road stand , all lit up, with the McGregor statue in the foreground. However, where the Aston Villa lettering is at the top of the stand now shows his Christian name and Surname either side of the badge.
It is something I would have paid money for - but has been sent gratis from the club.
We have had a lot to moan about over the last few months - but I would like to say well done to the club for this. Its that good I am going to frame it for him.
Anybody else had one ?
-
My nephew got one last week, real classy touch I thought, fair play to them.
-
I got home yesterday to find a massive, mis-shapen cardboard tube in my porch from the club.
On opening it, I found to my horror that it contained Moustapha Salifou, the cun.t is now ensconsed in my loft and refuses to come out until I 'Fix him up with a club where he doesn't have to do much.'

Hilarious. Not.

I thought it was quite funny

I used the cardboard it came in to stick down the pants of the streaker. Explains the fact that an Albion fan appears to have a big 'un!!
Seriously, nice gesture from the club. But I still hate McLeish.
-
No poster so far but ST information arrived and the booklet front cover is a Villa shirt hanging in the changing room with the lads names on it. They also have their pictures inside from the visit to BMH. So obviously they are over the moon ....
Great stuff.

You're not a mate of his are you?
I can always edit it to say Habib Beye instead.

Yes of course I am. That's why I don't find your joke funny. Nothing to do with the fact that it wasn't funny in the first place

It could have been worse. It might have been Ivanhoe.

If they put Heskey in the post, all you'd get would be a card that read:
'Sorry I missed you...'
-
Very good Damon.
-
I rather see my son pictured with a Trophy and not with his name on a shirt hung up beside some bloke who does his xmas shopping when there's a home game going on.
-
My son didn't get one. Bastards!
Mind you, he is 25.

And named Legion.

I've heard him called a few things, but never Legion.
-
I'd quite like a poster, but I'm not a junior Villan.
Well, not a junior, anyway.
And I'm not related to anybody who is. (a JV)
How do I get one, please? There has to be a way. I'll do anything that doesn't include bungee jumping, losing clothes (believe me you don't want that) or involves politically inappropriate modes of fraternisation with members of the publicity team. Or Legion.

Sorry for the joke that pissed off Jimmy, i'll post one of his most memorable posts to make up for it.

Can't we all just get along? I blame McLeish for this ;)
-
No, it's O'Neill's fault,

Apparently Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney hate each other. That 'Ebony and Ivory' thing was just a big act.

Can't blame Stevie Wonder really, all scousers piss you off eventually.

Apparently McCartney would mutter racist abuse when they were side-by-side
on the piahno keyboard

I gather the original piano is now in the Anfield trophy room. All the black notes are on the left and the white notes on the right.

The annual sing along was a bit tricky this year as Suarez refused to let his fingers touch the black keys on the piano keyboard!

I think you two secretly love each other. You always hurt the one you love.

I just want to beat him to death with his own arm, what's wrong with that?

Okay seeing as it upsets you so much, I promise not to say anything unkind about your little jokes in future.

McCartney would only play the white keys.

It doesn't upset me Jimmy, Jimmy.
I'm just puzzled as to why you would comment, just ignore it if you think it's shit.
-
We all comment on each other's posts on here. But seeing as you don't like it I'll not comment on your posts again.
-
Come on lads, it's only the internet.
Take a leaf out of my book. I never get into a row that eventually gets so out of hand I end up bashing the keyboard so hard my fingers bleed. Honest.

This is what happens when two boys stand too close to each other in the urinals.
Its a lesson to us all.

Another one who thought Rip Van's joke was funny.
My issue (at the risk of going off topic) is the renewal pack they sent me. All very nice and flashy, but really another waste of money - its not telling me anything I don't already know. And because my name seems to be plastered all over the pack thats more that will have to be fed to by shredder.
-
My 12 year old loved that poster - I thought it was a really nice touch
-
Getting back to the topic.
It was a brilliant bit of marketing by the club, disinterested owner and poor manager aside, the club know how to project themselves.
-
I didn't think the joke was funny, but I'll get over it.
Nice touch with the marketing. Like has been said, they didn't have to do it, and it should bring a smile to the kids that haven't had that much to smile about supporting Villa this year.
-
I did think the joke was funny. And contrary to an earlier poster I also liked my renewal pack. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation I supopse, because if they didn't send out anything people would say the club were taking them for granted.

I got one! However, it was addressed to the person who used to live in my flat. Seems he hasn't told Villa about his change of address. Don't blame him.
-
A b loke I know was sent tickets in the name of the person who used to live in his flat. Being a Brummie Red, I don't think he understood the concept of going to a live game, so I had them.
