I was in Aus in 2013 when Liverpool toured there, and they sold out the MCG 90,000 for a friendly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted March 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2022 I hope the club is able to put on some training days etc for members/ fans over here. We don’t get to see the team week in week out so would be a great experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonho Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I believe the announcement on dates will be made today if rumors are true. I'm going to take the whole family down, I can't wait. Would be excellent if we can get some ability to go to training sessions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a gap in the fixture list as Celtic were going to play Rangers in Australia but Rangers have pulled out. You never know! I think we will end up in America though personally.

PussEKatt Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Well,not only does that brass me off but it also shows that Villa are thinking just like all the other clubs in the PL ( except for ManUre ) Ever wondered why ManUre have such a large fan base,with supporters from all around the world ? The reason is that ManUre tour different countries around the world "on a regular basis",so they have been watched "live"just about everywhere in the world (not just in the USA ) I have personally been to watch about 8 ManUre games ( they reguarly tour Asia and the Pacific ) every so often.The first time I watched them live,on tour was in 1968 with the team including Best,Law,Stephney,Stiles,Charlton etc.So, from 1968 till now I have seen ManUre 8 times and Aston Villa zero.No wonder United are popular all over the world.

They also made us endure the SAF era whereby they established themselves as the best team in the best league worldwide just as TV deals were offering world conquest rates and exposure. The amount of support that ensued and furthered Uniteds revenue and standing was unequalled. Could be getting my wires crossed but that is my understanding from last I checked which was some time ago.
