I know they’re very tough to get for locals, but was wondering if the club set any aside for people like myself going over. I think you need to try your overseas supporters club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the answer It was reduced even pre corona but each lions club used to have an allocation for buying home tickets before they go on general sale, check to see if that's still a thing Either contact / join your local lions club or speak to various good American lions club chairmen who will point you in the right direction Pretty much all of them are on social media, there's a directory for all of the lions club details on the main villa website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @MNVillan how are you getting on with stuff to see in London? I can give some recommendations if you're still looking. If you'll be hiring a car there are lots of nice rural places that are worth a visit. I will caveat that with the fact my American inlaws hated driving on our roads so much they gave up by day two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should we go to support local and not worry about a Bloser doing it? Depends what you want and in what style. I’m not familiar with studios in Birmingham but could probably point you in the direction of a few in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see if there is a Minnesota fan club for Palace and see if they can do anything to help. They might take pity, or tell you to piss off. But don't ask don't get.
