About 30 shirts on the rail, first time I've seen it in the flesh. Looks very good. I'd imagine other Villa will be on our flight, post on here later for a beer later tonight

£72 at Heathrow for the shirt, obviously not able to personalise etc, looked class next to the rest of the Adidas kits..

A friend of mine ...ahem Man City fan..travelled over for a pre season friendly years ago...and was surprised by the large attendance...hopefully we play a stronger side than we have so far pre season, and give a good account of ourselves

Think it will likely be the full team minus the international finalists, who may play a part.

I'll be heading to Düsseldorf after work then getting the train over to Dortmund but I don't expect to arrive until near midnight.  Does anyone know if Birmingham airport still has stupid queues for security?

I breezed through. Looks like it got sorted but there's still loads of construction going on.
