To celebrate the open training session at Villa Park next week, we are offering one supporter a truly VIP experience! You will go inside the tunnel at the event, meet the first team squad, take a penalty against the first team goalkeepers and take away a signed football. The prize also includes tickets to the Open Training session for the winner and a guest. To enter, just answer the question below and enter your details.

If I win (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) I'm donating the prize to one of the kids at work.

The lower numbers meant the players were all accessable. My lad managed to get pictures taken with Bent, Benteke, N'Zogbia, Given, Guzan, Lowton, Lihaj, Vlaar, Holman, Bannan, Bowery, Stevens, Weimann and El Ahmedi... in previous years we were lucky to get a couple of players.
It was noticeable also how the players seemed to be doing a few more coaching drills rather than just 'have a game for 25 minutes' like previous years. Benteke, you'll be pleased to know missed all his sitters today instead of this coming Saturday

Be interesting to know what Bowery was like, compared to the other strikers.

Very poorly attended compared to previous years.
Hardly surprising given the current state of play. It's bad enough watching them play. Watching them train must be the stuff of nightmares.

A lot of areas aren't on half term yet.

I must admit, it would be interesting to see free kicks practised. That is something that has concerned me for many years down the Villa.
