Villa 59 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 2024 is the 150 year anniversary of our great club As yet, I haven't heard anything about celebrating this great milestone in our history. Does anyone know or have heard of any plans to commemorate this occasion? How would the fans like to mark the event as we surely are? For me, the ideal scenario would be to win the FA Cup. it's the only thing I haven't witnessed in my 63 years as a supporter. Although I was alive in 1957 I was too young to remember anything about it. Watch your wish for 2024 and do you think the club should be doing to celebrate the occasion?

Wainy316 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Finalise what our club badge is going to be. A one off kit based on our first ever to be worn on the game closest to the anniversary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think they should allocate 150 seats with their own bar server and lanyard and charge £150 per ticket per match. Or do a season ticket option for £2840, you'd save a tenner. Just saying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey that would presumably be four badges in four years. AVFC badge from last season, the new round one for this season, the 150th badge for next season and then presumably a brand spanking new one for the season after that. As for the 150th anniversary, I don’t know. I’d be tempted to buy some sort of memorabilia keepsake that marks the occasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
