Villa donate gate receipts to Barrow

[Risso]

It's really nice to hear about our away fans as well. I've pretty much stopped going to away games, as the coked up pissheads smashing up away concourses that infest our travelling support put me off entirely.

Class is permanent and, given a recent spell out of the Premier League where we stared into the financial abyss, perhaps worn with a degree of humility. Well done to everyone from whoever at the top who sanctioned this to those supporters who left such a positive impression

[Villa Lew]

Great gesture well done Villa, class as always

Quality act from a quality club.

Well played Aston Villa
Did anyone else make this Gesture ?
We should loan them a couple of players and buy them a pie hut

[OCD]

Well done Villa. Maybe Barrow can buy some proper lighting for their stand now .

It definitely had a different vibe this one.

The very small number definitely kept the dickhead count down!

Great gesture by us. But I can't help wondering what would happen if it was Birmingham City playing Barrow ?
I'd like to think Barrow would do the right thing.

Barrow fans gushing;

After watching there first class performance from mostly youths, and the way the club and fans mingled round town before game
And now they donate the match fee ?
What a fabulous club they are
Thank you to Aston Villa and hope you have a great season

A simply magnanimous gesture from the club, needs to be on the smile thread.

Amount comes to 30k I just read.

This act alone has generated more goodwill than 30k could buy.

I am always surprised in work how many people I come into contact with - senior, grown up, successful business people - who can not even begin to understand this concept.
