Bell by name - you guessed it bell by nature. A supposed villa fan who probably has not seen the inside of our great stadium for at least the past 5 years

I've never heard of him either. But if I can add him to my long list of people who irritate and annoy me then that would be great. Especially with a name like Rupert.

He was on the pitch with the fans after the FA Cup QF v West Brom - I recall him tweeting a photo at the time.

He's a racing journalist and broadcaster from Cheltenham. He attends matches home and away judging by his twitter feed and sounds as pissed off as the rest of us.
His son works for ITV racing.

Didn't Man City once ask fans to suggest what a stand at one end of the ground should be called and Man U fans tried to hijack the vote suggesting Colin Bell ?

He comes across as a sound bloke.  When he tweeted the photo he was making the point that it was a good-natured pitch invasion with families and kids taking part.

I've heard him talk about us before on the wireless. As mentioned, he does the racing and sometimes golf. His brother is Martin Bell, racehorse trainer. He's just a fan, can't see anything wrong in that.

Probably something that WittonWarrior didn't like so he's condemned him as a fake Villa fan who never goes to games...

To be honest the comments on here has made me think he just panders to the microphone on talkshite.  I bow to people who know him better. 

on talkshite he is always  talking us down.

He must be a fan then if he talk us down (I should imagine 90% of fans over the last 6 years have talked us down)
