Match Break partners

[Chris Harte]

The club have announced Champions Travel & Travel Connection as official match break partners.

"This appointment allows us to make matchdays at Villa Park even more accessible to our fans around the world".

From the OS.

So a means to facilitate the far-flung fan getting to VP. No doubt for a mark-up ££££.

(Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere).

This is a good thing for the club. Shows they are serious about making the club attractive to fans all around the world, rather than just the Tamworth elite.

I think we're just catching up with putting our name to anything. A lad I knew on the IOM had a firm who were the "official payroll partners of Manchester City". Which meant nothing more than he'd stumped up £100,000 for the privilege.

I am sure a couple of years ago I read some company had become Official Diesel Engine Partner to Manchester United.

Hi everyone, I'm back from Google re ^^^^ and can confirm, it's a company called Yanmar.

Since our 100th anniversary in 2012, Yanmar has maintained agreements with leading Premier League team Manchester United as an official diesel engine partner and official agricultural equipment partner

What do they need agricultural equipment for? Feeding Luke Shaw, I guess.

No idea re diesel engines though.

Castrol is still the Premier League’s official “engine oil partner”

I misinterpreted the thread title

I thought is was going to be......."this endless wait for a VAR decision is brought to you by Charlie's Kebab House of Bevington Road"

On the Orstralian feed of our game I was watching on Sat there were loads of adverts for some company running trips to Spurs, probably because they have the Gruffalo in charge but they also covered large parts of Asia, covering those that want to see Son in the flesh.

I agree.  If we're going to compete we're going to need tourist fans I guess.  At £125, to me the Lower Grounds sounds outrageous.  But I'd probably think that £125 for a ticket to see Barcelona with all you can eat & drink would be brilliant, particularly if there was a pretty hassle-free way to get the tickets.

Kohler were their Official Bathroom Partner (or something similar) and then became their sleeve sponsor for £5m a year.

Wonder do they still do a line in funeral jackets á la Partridge.

Just under 400 euros for 1 person for a night in the Jurys Inn and a queue-jumping Lower Grounds ticket……

It is glorified touting really

Oh god, I can see it now.  They'll be proper Shires and the only ones who drink in Atherstone in no time.
