Have to applaud the club for this! Excellent way to bring in the new kits and get the fans 'onside' again. A decent managerial appointment between now and then and the place will be rocking! Well done Villa!

[joecrow]

Looks good Dave. Shame i am 2000 bloody miles away!

Credit where it's due.  That really is brilliant.

My friends band are playing and advertised on the site (soldier).  Very good idea by the club, a shiny new manager on the stage telling us about his plans would be great.

[Rich6by7]

Great idea. And I've been a fan of The Lines since the early days.

As a disgruntled former croupier, there's very little chance of me buying a casino advert, though.

[Risso]

Great initiative.  What would be really good would be to have a new [vibrant] manager in place before then.  Imagine how many more people would turn up if he was to be there.....

[andyh]

I tell you what, we should give the club some real praise for this.
It is a great idea and once again,they show that sometimes they really do know what they are doing.
Well done Villa !

Can't wait to see what the kit looks like.

[Aston Manor]

Wow, great work Villa.

[Percy McCarthy]

Can someone outline the basics? I can't get links on this phone. Or maybe post the article?

Thanks.

Villa have finalised details of the exciting weekend of activities all focused around the launch of the new 2012-13 kit.

The home and away kit will be unveiled online on Friday June 15 - and then launched in a stunning claret and blue outdoor carnival on both Saturday June 16 and Sunday June 17 at Villa Park.

And the home kit will be available to purchase immediately from the Villa Village Store on site.

If you come down to grab your new shirt over that Father's Day weekend you'll be able to make the most of some great music and fun events.

All of the events start at 10am on both days and finish at 4pm.

Arrow BulletLive music stage - 11 acts over two days
Arrow BulletMini stadium tours and trophy viewings
Arrow BulletHuman demolition wrecking ball
Arrow BulletVelcro wall
Arrow BulletInflatable volleyball court
Arrow BulletTrampolines
Arrow BulletAssault courses
Arrow BulletFootball challenges (starts at 11.30am on Saturday due to soccer schools)
Arrow BulletFunfair activities
Arrow BulletFood court
Arrow BulletMuch, much more

The music element should be electrifying, with a host of up-and-coming bands gracing B6.

We have The Lines, Soldier, Dakota Beats and Paradise Forum to name but a few.

Please note that some of the activities above will involve a small charge. However, any supporter purchasing a shirt over the weekend will be given a wristband which will allow them to enjoy all activities free of charge.

Both stores at Villa Park and the City Centre will be open from 8am to 6pm on the Saturday.

On the Sunday, the Villa Park store will be open between 9am and 4pm and the City Centre store will open an hour later at 10am to 4pm.

There will be free car parking in Aston Events Centre. The Holte End car park will also be available for parking on the Saturday.

And, as if that isn't enough, we will also be showing games from the European Championships on the big screens.

Why not take the whole experience into extra-time too?

Make a day of it on Sunday and bring the whole family along for a great afternoon at our Father's Day family fun lunch.

Cheers bob.
