I went down to Villa Park today to check out the festivities! It was nice to see so many people turn out on such a horrible rainy day. The Mini stadium tour was fully enjoyable, highlight was the tour guide slating Alex Mcleish and rejoicing in the news he had heard that Lambert had told Hutton to F**K off!
The boss spoke about playing football from now on "The right way" and how the fans would play an important part in bringing success back to Villa Park. He sounds well and truly up to the challenge, and I believe every single word which comes out of his mouth......Lambert's Lions indeed!
But the highlight of the day, was checking out the new kits in the flesh, after first view of the home kit, I wasn't entirely sold. However, after picking one up and looking at the quality of the item I was blown away, some superb little details from the embossed lion, the AVFC on the back of the neck, and the collar you can tuck in! Not to mention how brilliant it feels on. Macron have done themselves proudly and I for one, am looking forward to a good few years with them designing our kits. I will be first in line for when the away shirt is released, as I didn't realise how much I liked it until seeing it in the flesh.
So yeah, brilliant day! Thank you to Aston Villa and all involved.
