Global Branding !
it would help if we had a badge which actually had our name on rather than just initials for a start

I retweeted someone's #PartOfThePride picture of himself with Dean Saunders the other day and the club then sent me a message saying thanks for wanting to be part of the pride, but my post hadn't passed the moderators and to try again. Bizarre.

They are going overboard this year, flags showing it on the road after Aston Station to Villa Park.

Slightly unrelated, but am I the only one not feeling it with the playing of Oasis after we win games?

Do we still do that? What did they play today? We should just stick with Hi-Ho Aston Villa.

We didn't win, presumably it's been dropped since the Manchester attack after the end of last season.

We had the "Stand by me" JT initiation song at halftime today so they'll probably play that every game now

I'm just waiting for "Mauled by the Lions, you're getting mauled by the Lions".

Maybe we are going to emulate the Hull Tigers, lots of growling and a real fun claw dance.
Aston Lions  is such a great name to really connect with the fans.

I actually like The ones around our ground and think it extends our boundaries as it were, agree I'd like it to say Aston Villa not AVFC and I'd certainly have more pride if Witton Station bridge was repainted !
