Acorns Day vs Swansea

[PeterWithesShin]

Make sure you get down to Villa Park early on Saturday as we have a host of extra activities for Acorns Day.

Our Funzone in the Indoor Academy will be really popular with members of the 1982 European Cup winning squad, the M&M mascots with fun size chocolate and special prizes on activities - all to help raise money for our charity partner Acorns.

Between 1.30pm and 2pm, members of our 1982 squad including Brendan Ormsby, Ivor Linton, Des Bremner, Gary Williams, Andy Blair, Pat Heard, Gary Shaw, Gordon Cowans and Colin Gibson will be paying a visit.

We'll be kindly asking for donations to take part in activities for £1 per token or £5 for a wristband which covers all activities - all proceeds will go to Acorns.

Prizes from home shirts to stationary kits and Xbox One games will be up for grabs.

A special prize raffle draw will also take place.

Face painting, an assault course, rodeo bull, the speed cage and crossbar challenge are among the other activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Our regular EA Sports gaming hub with FIFA 15 and Match Attax games will be in place.

Ever wanted to challenge one of your claret and blues heroes?

The light chaser and racing car simulator that the players tested their skills on will be present.

The M&M mascots will be there with fun size chocolate giveaways along with our own mascots - Hercules, Bella and Chip.

Look out for a range of activities as Villa celebrate Acorns Day this weekend.

The clash with Swansea on Saturday is the annual fundraising game for our official charity partner.

There are host of things happening around the game to help bring in valuable money for the worthwhile organisation, which is very close to our hearts.

The match programme will be a limited edition, costing £4 - with the extra £1 from each copy going to the charity.

The front features an arty shot of our 'Acorns Ambassadors' down the years - and we think you'll be very impressed with the finished product.

The shirts of our first team stars from the game will be auctioned off on Monday after the match.

They will be placed on eBay after the final whistle and you'll be able to snap up the tops of the likes of Christian Benteke, Gabby Agbonlahor, Brad Guzan and Fabian Delph.

Check out the CURRENT AUCTION on eBay too, with a host of claret and blue items available to snap up.

At present you can bid on five Worcester Warriors shirts and a special Worcester Warriors artwork set.

...stationary kits...

Are those the ones the players wore under Lambert? No wonder they didn't move around the pitch.
