The AV

[Graylittle]

Have ever noticed some of our older supporters call villa the AV, I was wondering why, villa in the early 70s did have AV on the kit under the badge any connection?

[eamonn]

Sounds horrible

[dave shelley]

Never used that and never heard it said either and I'm an old 'un.

[ChicagoLion]

Nope

[Steve67]

I'm 51, never heard it before.

It never really caught on but I know people who will sometimes use it. I've never said it myself

[olaftab]

No never used AV. Don’t remember it as  popular in 70’s or 80’s.

[andyh]

Never heard it

[CT]

Me neither I'm afraid. Never heard of this.

[Scratchins]

In over 60 years I have never heard of this.

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

I've only heard AV in reference to the old floodlights.

[Graylittle]

It's a Steamers thing from what I've heard, but was wondering if any one else used or heard the term.

I have the honour and privilege to have been an Aston Villa fan for over half its illustrious existence and have never heard the description to which you refer.
