Thinking about all the glory hunting twats who would join is, I think I would rather be in Division Four.

Maybe that's why Yanited fans try and act the twat so much away from home? Its the only place they can enjoy their success free of the smear of all the hangers-on.

Part that, part rules are for other people.

They're proper try hards aren't they? The uniformity of wearing black, while trying to look as moody as possible as they chuck bins and beers around at half time never seems to get old.

It would be selling the soul of the club for a few tin pots. I am an Aston Villa fan, through good or bad. And what the hell would we all talk about if this happened? Picking the bones out of the good old days when things were a bit rubbish so we could have a good moan? Not for me.

And no to Aston Red Bulls, Red Bull Villa etc.


There are much more likely candidates than Villa though.

The other thing that they have is a ballot system for away tickets. That would finish me going if I couldn't guarantee a ticket after all these years. Maybe go for the day out and deaf the match.

I'd be interested to know which media outlets are carrying this.

And who is saying it on Twitter.

Interesting on the money side of things don't Man City have the cheapest Season tickets in the PL? Also, they still don't sell out all their away games e.g. they took 1000 to Swansea over the Xmas break. I don't see us having thousands of gloryhunters at all - leave that with Liverpool, Yanited and Chelsea.

Its why they have such excellent numbers away from home, as you will take your tickets when you can, where it is and whatever the price, as you're never guaranteed to be able to go to the next away game.

Although a few friends of mine only ever seem to miss out on a handful each year. It would drive me insane with the tension!

We'd get plent of day trippers at home (with half and half scarves) but Villa's away support is pretty good anyway isn't it?  So it probably would become a bit more like Manure's.

Bloody hell, give 'em a break.

I was trying to stress that as yet there aren't hoards of gloryhunters from around the UK following Citeh. My son coaches kids 5-15 and aswell as the usual red gloryhunters and Chelsea only a couple of Citeh tops have appeared to date.

If they bought us and invested money, I would buy the red away kit , happily refer to the red bull arena (traditional home of aston villa) AND sing "Red Bull! Barmy Army!" with the new Villa glory hunter fans.

If thats what it takes to bloody win things and play some great football then I will do it, with alacrity.

See the reason I couldn't do this is because it just wouldn't be Aston Villa anymore. I support this club, the things which have remained continuous whoever the owner, manager or players have been, wherever they've trained and what shape the badge took. If they came in and did to us what they've done to Salzburg, it wouldn't be Aston Villa winning things anymore.

I respect that, but it wouldnt bother me one jot. Such trapping are completely temporary. Renaming Villa park or wearing red away are as irrelevant to me as what betting firm is on our shirt this season. They will all change in a few years and Villa will go on.

They're very committed to sport and excellence so in that regard I think it would be great. It goes without saying that nobody wants people fucking with our identity. I doubt they'd even try.

Mass sponsorship, a themed away kit, stand renaming and so on, sure. To be honest, if they could bring entertainment and belief back to this club I could swallow almost anything at the moment. It's not like the premier league is a noble institution that is respectful of history and traditions.

A new injection of ambition, nous and resources would be great. Any other issues, well, that's a matter for when and if they arose. I hope there's something in this but I'm not getting too ahead of myself.
