Some have been mentioned like visit new away grounds. One thing im hoping for is seeing never to see those div Villa fans who were celebrating on the last day of 2004/05 season at Anfeild as WBA avoided relegation. Over the years they must have come to know that the rivalry with WBA is not villa - blues but its not friendly either. They are an embarrassment and I hope they have something more appropriate to do like going to the opera rather follow villa in the championship.

Respect perrycommoner but going to the Opera is very similar to following Villa.  Very expensive, egos out of control, very critical audience, plenty of booing at several venues, stars massively overpaid, lower orders on peanuts, plenty carrying too much timber (see Gregory v Daveed), everything ending in tears.  Indistinguishable from VP.

Seriously, not being anywhere near Match of the Day. Aside from the obvious torture of it, I would quite like to follow a football match that is a genuinely good one, rather than Crystal Palace - Stoke being hyped beyond measure because it's Premier League. The smugness of the 'good' Premier League teams has become really grating the shitter we've got.

Hopefully seeing more of the reserve team coming through.

Catastrophic loss of income aside, with the way the club is now I honestly think a year in the Championship to sort itself out will be good for Villa, so long,of course, as we come back up!

Not playing either Manchester club home and away. My least favourite 4 fixtures of the season.

Seconded, although I do have concerns about watching the " chaotic dog's dinner " that is the  'Football League Show'  on Ch5, that said, needs must etc.
Reading so many of the 'positive'  comments on this topic has actually lifted my spirits, somewhat !.....Godzvilla!

You can subscribe to Bein sports. I bet we are on every week, and probably the featured game quite often.

Don't tell my 4 year old daughter that, she thinks we're going to be going hiking more often if Villa are not in the Premier League and so not live on tv every week.

Fox Sports in Oz have lost he rights to show the PL from next season so this is my last season of seeing us for a while regardless.  Can't say it's bothering me at all.
