Odds on

I was on the front row of the Trinity when they thrashed us under Smith and from a couple of yards away he's built like the proverbial Ox

Win something with it and it will soon become a fan favourite

Lovely but flawed as you'd have to change the date every year. Can't be doing that on every piece of branding around VP...if the 1874 could be incorporated without the current date I thin it would be more practical I like mid left as a modern clean design too, and I like the bottom right but not sure about how they've put the 1874 and we're back to the lion looking a bit like he's swatting a fly

I always think it's like the Lion is trying to swat a fly

Villans, I am absolutely thrilled at the uptake of the recent fan consultation, with 16,000 Season Ticket Holders, Members and those on the Waiting List taking the opportunity to contribute their views via the Crest Survey. This is one of the largest responses in club history, and such a huge turnout has naturally provided us with a wealth of insights as we move forward with this important piece of work. In terms of next steps, we will now undertake a detailed review of the combined outputs from the 2022 consultation, alongside this refreshed perspective from 2023. Once this analysis is complete, we will work to incorporate fan feedback, as best as we can, along with the views of wider club stakeholders, before sharing our new club crest later this season. This reveal will form part of a wider refresh of the club’s brand and kit, on which we are currently focussing a great deal of our time, so that the club is ready to go to the next level in our 150th anniversary season in 2024/25. As a club we are keen to ensure that our fans feel part of this re-design process, therefore I have taken the decision to share with you the summary of the results of the recent survey: 16,000 validated surveys... Supporters across our global base of Season Ticket Holders, Members and those on the Waiting List Visually striking and recognisable... 60% believe that whilst the new crest should be claret and blue, it should also be visually striking and recognisable How the shield design reflects our history... 52% of you strongly agreed or agreed that the shield shape design best reflects our heritage, with 20% holding a neutral point of view Building a picture of our heritage... 68% felt that it is most important for the crest to build a picture of our heritage as a traditional club Our name represented... A combined 81% of you would like to see the name represented as either Aston Villa FC or Aston Villa Lion facing left... As for the Rampant Lion, 47% would like to see it facing to the left and 30% open to either direction 1874, a year to remember... 73% agree that 1874 should be included in the crest design 1982 European Cup celebration... An overwhelming 85% would like to ensure we incorporate our 1982 European Cup star into the design Furthermore, I am delighted to share that we have selected the five winners of our prize draw, each of whom will be contacted separately in order to receive their signed home shirt. Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you who took the time to share your valuable opinions with us, and I am looking forward to the next chapter of this historic club as we kick off our 150th anniversary celebration. UTV! Chris Heck President of Business Operations Sounds like they are basically going to a revamp of the previous badge.

If you can't win away from home then don't lose it. Good point on the road

I think it's the sort of thing that's been given in the last decade where it's almost become a non-contact sport but was never a pen back in the old days - feels like they are tryig to get back more to the way it used to be this season

OH FFS Dougie had Digne wide open and he trys a 30 yarder

Finally Ref !

Not a pen for me

12 MINS injury time ..seems about right

We miss having a ball carrier like Ramsey

I don't get why we play this walking football it often seems to get us into trouble

He'd had a quiet one

See I said he was great

Like I said - No recovery pace

Why do they play Hi Ho Silver Lining when they play in Gold

I prefer to think of it as ginger

If you bring a big money defender into the team sacrificing physicality, recovery pace and defensive attriubtes for passing ability then I expect the latter to outweigh the former.

He already played one hospital ball , now this elite passer of the football just plays it straight to the opposition under no pressure. Oh..and he also missed a big header chance

Tau Porridge giving it away again as per

Because we keep losing to them - bogie team recently

True, I met him in the early 2000's when he was Eng U21 coach and he didn't seem to really want to talk about the Villa. Never meet your heroes.

Nonsense, Gary Shaw was brilliant Right up until he picked up that knee injury..aged what ? 22 - 23 ..never the same player again
