I am reliably informed that both Bouncer and Mrs. Mangle were big Villa fans.
Just a few friendlies, I think. As an aside, it's a shame they just have to have us pictured in training gear rather than our famous colours on the website because, yet again, we couldn't be bothered to release the kit on time.https://optusstadium.com.au/iconhttps://optusstadium.com.au/icon/icon-festival-of-events

There is no reason we couldn't have done the same. It has nothing to do with when the new kit was released.

Hangover from the Kewell/Viduka years?
Thank you for certifying that Hillbilly.Possibly could be 80-20? Or even worse. This won't be a good look for us as a club. I know there's lots of jokes around regarding Leeds support but in certain parts of the world they have incredible backing that outnumbers ours even with them being in the Championship for so long .We need to break into other markets,I understand and our supporter base in England is looking VERY strong. Maybe we can get some Liverpool / Gerrard fans to wave a claret and blue scarf for us so it don't look so one sided support wise. We will probably take max 50?from the UK with a majority heading out to Rennes instead. The club should have put a package together for individuals who wanted to go but don't have the confidence in booking a big trip DIY . Think they have missed a trick there. I'm not the only one worried either
