Title: Poppy pins 2020
Post by: johnny from donny on September 04, 2020, 07:54:17 PM: Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that 2020 Aston Villa Poppy Pins are available for sale from the Poppy Shop website. If it's something that you would want, get them from there to avoid being ripped off on eBay when they sell out.

Very true, but unfortunately they sold out quickly last year and ended up being sold on eBay for over twice the price. I got lucky last year in that somebody let me have one of theirs at the proper price so I kept an eye out for them this year.

No worries, I was just kidding. I see Blues ones have already sold out but they've always had more "pashun" than us.

Post by: Brazilian Villain on September 14, 2020, 08:30:32 PM: Surprised there's none on sale for Scottish teams. I'd imagine Hearts, Rangers pins would sell pretty well, maybe Celtic not so much.

Scottish poppies are different to everywhere else.
If you Google poppy Scotland you can see the difference; they had a couple of clubs available last year but no, not Celtic.
