It's been full on for me since the third division days. I'd say the only thing that's changed as i've got older is
realizing that 'we' the fans are Aston Villa not the players. This was even more apparent to me after chatting to some of the current squad in philly and chicago in july. Made me really think about the unbelievable support this amazing club has had over the years and the places I'd been to just because.
Win or lose we will still be there regardless of who's playing in the shirt.
I love Aston Villa Football Club , for many reasons , the main one rightly or wrongly it was has been part of my life for so long .
My Parents , Aston Villa, My Wife and kids My Country ... they are all integral to my make up and my kids make up .
...
some scruffy arsed kid living in big Blues areas , never bothered me , I was blessed Villa through thick and thin ..........
I will always love ASTON VILLA , but i honestly hate the product our great club has become in embroiled in due the Commodification of OUR game
I want a club to buck the financial trend , I pray that as history has shown Aston Villa can once again become that Club.
come what may , Aston Villa is not a club it is an institution ......
