I went to Blackpool the other weekend for a funeral with my lad and we was saying in the velvet coaster pub , we saw more Villa shirts than any other team including both the Mancs and p'ool walking round and I got a few UTv from non football shirts too ,
A few years ago during COVID I went to receive the vaccination , the location was in a large hall in the CityWest Hotel in Dublin.After receiving the jab I was sitting in the holding area for the mandatory fifteen minutes waiting time, (to ensure there were no adverse effects).As i was sat waiting i spotted a guy wearing a Villa shirt stand up to leave and noticed he also had on a Villa hat. As he walked past the area of seats i was in, i shouted a hearty "Up the Villa".All the people around me looked up from their phones and looked at me as if i was going mad and perhaps suffering an adverse reaction to the jab resulting in an outbreak of Tourettes.Unfortunately the guy in the Villa shirt seemed to be the only person that didn't hear me and carried on walking towards the exit door, without even acknowledging me or looking around.I then had to spend another five minutes sitting there feeling uncomfortable until I was able to leave.It hasn't put me off though, I still give anyone wearing a Villa shirt a good Up the Villa shout.

The Villa shop in the bullring is a bit of a let down... While it was packed with Sabbath fans filling their baskets (which was great to see) its Villa range is pretty limited and more of an Adidas shop with a Villa section, rather than a stand-alone Villa store.
I'm not keen on the new light green and salmon pink training gear. Not good for those of us with a fair complexion.
