The Fun Factory Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 On 23/09/2022 at 15:44, It's Your Round said: Interesting to watch, I did the VP tour back in 2020 and it took a different route to the one shown here. Mine had Shaun Teale come round on the tour and ended in one of the corner bar/restaurants with Brian Little and Tony Daly doing a Q&A. It was excellent to be fair and always recommend it. It would be funny to do the blouse tour just to ask daft questions like “When will the leaky roof get fixed? Why is the stadium falling down? And am I allowed to piss on Craig Gardner’s desk?” You can try to piss in all four corner to break the curse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I did the Villa Park tour when I was over in 2015. I thought it was sensational and really enjoyed it as a fan. I've done the Allianz and the Camp Nou and whilst they have a bigger spectacle I felt the Villa Park one was more fan friendly. I was by myself and the tour guide was offering to take photos in the locker room, media centre, in the dugout and in front of the Holte so the customer service was really great. They also gave out a whole host of old programs at the end for an nerdy, international like me was great. It did feel odd being in the Players Bar/post game area with Sky Sports on as Sherwood had been sacked that day so it was the main story. The tour guide said when DOL got the boot he pissed off and left his car in the Villa Park carpark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure, but I worked briefly as a contractor for Volvo in Olofstom, and the lakes around there in summer were just spectacular. I did struggle when trying to buy milk for my breakfast though. Tried three times. Why are milk, yoghurt and sour cream all called Mjölk? Ever tried sour cream on cornflakes? Not good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, it's all derivatives of the same base produce, so I assume that is the reason. From what I understand, Swedish isn't very easy to learn. Neither is Finnish. God knows I tried. The company I work for had a lot of consultants at Volvo before the pandemic (IT sector). Not sure now to be honest.

Temporarily taking this thread further ot, I did take away from Sweden a liking for food I'd never otherwise try. Raw herring with mustard is improbably delicious. Anyway I did the VP tour a while ago and it was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJ_Villain Posted October 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just did the stadium tour today with my dad for his 70th birthday present. It was fantastic. Keith, Arthur, Steve and the other staff were all super helpful with my old man and really helped us with his wheelchair access needs. Would recommend to anyone! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
