Hey there,
Long time lurker, finally decided to create a log in and start contributing. Born and raised in Birmingham just a short distance from Villa Park, I now live in the South Island of New Zealand supporting Villa from afar, I'm 33 now and have lived here for 13 years for the most part, but still get down to VP at any opportunity when visiting family in the UK.
Massive football fan generally but of course Villa is my passion - I grew up with a season ticket in the Holte for most of my youth, but work took me far away. Now I have to settle for watching on the TV or by whatever other means I can manage, which often includes staying up through the night.
Can't wait for the new season to start to be able to enjoy watching us on MOTD again, and being able to get easier access to our games! When in the Championship, it's definitely tough supporting from overseas.
Look forward to getting involved on the forum.
