Just when you think you can't love your club anymore...

turns up at your door. What's that thing we say round here... MY CLUB. MY CITY. MY HOME. 💜💙

HUGE thanks to everyone who nominated me. So excited to be in

's box Sat. Happy to give our 2 Holte tix away for the game as long as whoever has them brings a bag of food down to the foodbank Collection. Let me know if you want them & I'll just pick at random

Wow. Totally overwhelmed. Just received an email to say I'm going to be recognised as Aston Villa's Community MVP at the game next weekend. Apparently there's a trophy (& a buffet) 🏆. Thank you to those who nominated me 💜💙
Mad that you have this little group of people you see every other week for years & years. Barely any idea who they are or what they do. Life just goes on and on. But for those 90 (+9) mins you're literally family... My club. My city. My home 💜💙
@AVFCSupport
Could you do something to improve the actual experience then? Suggestions...
1. A ticket office that answers the phone/don't cut you off
2. Better service/pricing/system for half time refreshments. Don't tell us to go down earlier & miss the game. We're already paying enough.
Saw this in Lidl today. You pick up a flyer (loads of different foods available) and they donate your item and match it with one of their own to a local foodbank/community group. Simple & cheap enough 👏
Good Morning. I need your help. On Saturday there will be a Foodbank Collection at Villa Park. Please help me spread the word far and wide. If 40,000 people could spare just 1 tin we'd have a bumper collection. Info here ➡️➡️➡️

I know he's not on here any more but for those who know Danny. True to his word he made a donation of £855.94 to Aston & Nechells Foodbank. 💚

Heading off to Villa Park shortly for the BIG Villa sleep out. Switching my bed for a cardboard box might be tough but one night is nothing compared to weeks, months or years on end 🤔
Guess I can now officially announce I've been shortlisted as a finalist in the Marketing & Communication category for this year's Birmingham's Young Professional of the Year -

The redevelopment of Villa Park will unfortunately result in the displacement of approximately 900 existing season tickets in the North, Doug Ellis and Trinity Road stands.
Can't get onboard with this on any level. Kicking lifelong ST holders out of their seats stinks.
I'm confused... Is it meant to be easy? Imo it should be tough. It should be hard. It should be tight. Twisty and turny. It should be 'I can't watch' and 'what the hell is he doing'. To win things, you have to do the hard stuff. Then we can bathe in glory & say we did it🍾

Excellent work all involved. The hard work doesn't stop now, but it's a very positive step!
So disappointing that the joy we're finally experiencing on the pitch is being soured by the antics off the pitch. The club is so out of touch right now. Stinks.

Fantastic collection today, overwhelmed by the support both at the marquee and beforehand. Pat on the back guys & gals. So proud to be Villa. Thank you! 💜💙

I hear the 20th will be up & running shortly...
What an effort!
Good news... we've finally been granted a street licence for a foodbank collection at Villa Park. But we need volunteers to make it worthwhile. Can you help?

Villa v. Newcastle
From 10am
Meet @ Aston Parish Church

Thousands of people across Birmingham, the Black Country & Solihull are struggling as the cost of living crisis hits hard. Those already on the breadline are being crushed by a combination of rising energy, food & fuel bills. For some the bubble has already burst. (1/3)
Travelling with your country is all good fun but anyone can join in. But travelling abroad with your club - what a treat it is to be in that exclusive little bubble... and we get to do it all again next season 💜💙
It's going to be quite strange getting on that train Sunday, heading to the capital & not having to worry or overthink the result. One of my favourite grounds to visit. Should be some party 🍾🍾🍾
Erugh lots of unfollows this morning. People just love teacher bashing atm don't they. There's always someone to else blame... When the fingers should all be pointing at the government. Division is rife. So disheartening.
Happy Monday all.
What a night. Horrible throughout, sick with nerves, thought my heart was going to explode as that penalty went in, felt like it took 10 years. But gosh what a night.
Total to be verified but we raised approx £1100 for
@ANFoodbank
- huge thanks to all who donated yesterday. Finally a sunny collection! Cheers
@VP1897
for getting involved! Volunteers are so vital 💜💙
1897 Group member Matt and his partner gave up their time before the game against Bournemouth to collect for Aston Parish Church’s community foodbank with proceeds going to the Aston & Nechells Foodbank, well done guys on your amazing efforts for a great cause👏

If you are struggling financially & need help with food for yourself or your family. Please don't suffer in silence. I can help. Even if you aren't Brum based, I'll do my best to signpost you to someone who can help ➡️✉️
#RightToFood
Last year... a woman from down the grove knocked on my door in tears. Her partner had had a heart attack & she didn't have anyone to turn to, sadly he passed away a few days later. Since we've spent a few nights exploring grief, laughing at stupid stuff & having a gin or two 1/3
Shout out Nan for sending me some tins for the foodbank. Sadly since one of them is old enough to legally drink I've had to reject your kind offering. The apple pies we'll take though 😂
VillaTV subscribers raised over £8,000 for Aston & Nechells Foodbank by purchasing match passes for our recent mid-season friendlies.
Thank you for your incredible support and generosity! 💜
Overnight the Foodbank office was broken into. Our 2 tablets & 2 laptops for inputting data at our centres & around £130 petty cash all taken. Repairs will be needed to the window/doors and new filing cabinets. No food was taken. So frustrating. Especially in current times 😔😩
