Stephen_Evans Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’ve asked about the quality of the Villa News and Record umpteen times. To my knowledge, the issue has never been raised with the club. Anyway, the editorial accuracy and journalistic quality of the programme isn’t a patch on what it once was. Can this be (finally) addressed or should I write in privately? One of these days I should go through an edition with a highlighter and red pen and send it back to the “editor”.

It would seem that they'd like to keep the current relationships in place for at least the initial six months of their taking over the franchise, which would include our deal and then hopefully it's something that will stay in place beyond that. That's all subject to confirmation by FIRST and their teams, but the club are hopeful that we can continue the offer. I know that Avanti have taken up the discount offering, however it’s not that easy to get the discount on the old virgin train website you used to use AVFC20 and the discount was automatically applied, does anybody know how it works on Avanti as using the link offers the same price as booking direct on their website. I can’t believe that the train manager gives you 20% of your fare back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it just works automatically if there are tickets available - it worked for me booking travel to that London for the Final But you have to use the right link - https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/avfc?g4id=7 I've found it easier to use that Virgin's version - so that could be fed back to the club (and I think it's more money off, too 20% instead of 10%, though my memory may be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's anything you'd like asked, please drop questions here before the end of 1st March. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 As mentioned in Villa kit thread, the quality of the print is pretty bad. Dean Smith is being interviewed and all you see is cracked logos and peeling badges. It looks awful. I also wear some of the training gear once a week and it started cracking and peeling after a couple of washes. Fair to say there have been plenty of size and stock issues too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted February 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2020 If I look at Torino and Napoli the sheer volume of stuff that Kappa does for them needs to be replicated here. I want a proper Kappa Villa football for my boy. Boot bag, Rucksack for school and so on. This is all available for the two teams mentioned above so why not us? The Kombat XX range is a start more stuff like this but please can we have blue sleeves on the all Claret shirt? That would for me anyway be an all time classic as owned the Italy shirts home and away from 2000! Do not let local companies embroid and ruin stuff like the black range they released!! It is standard Kappa wear that they have bastardised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
