General,
I know it's been said a hundred times before by so many, but I am so proud to be a Villa fan! As if the way Randy, yourself, the board, MoN and everyone else, have run our club over the past 22 months is not enough, you go and lead by example again and bring the community back into football! I'm a season ticket holder, but for work reasons moved away from Birmingham to the UAE a week after the Blose derby at Villa Park (obviously a great last game for me and thanks for fantastic the send off!!). Have just spent the evening here in Abu Dhabi with some English guys who are football fans from all over the UK, and they couldn't stop talking about our sponsorship. Made me so proud again!
I expect to be over here for a couple of years at least, but will still renew my season ticket for 3 reasons. Firstly, so I still get the same seat when I move back to Brum whenever that may be, secondly when I visit home, if it coincides with a game, I can go to the match, and thirdly, because of Seat Exchange, I can sell any unused tickets. The difference now is, rather than use the money for beer tokens here in the desert, I will follow our clubs lead and give it staright back to Acorns. You guys have made the fans proud, hopefully i can do my little bit and make you proud of us.
If ever you and/or Randy visit the UAE and Abu Dhabi, please let me know and I would really like by you all a drink to share my appreciation of the fantastic way you are all running our club. I'm just baffled as to how you can keep on making us so proud!
The Bubbe
