Xann Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 One of my friends is AM at F3K these days. Last time I was there was years ago with @ChrisVillan and a handful of other VTers. We got tonked by Man City. The silver lining was two for one on cocktails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Is anyone based in London a member of the Lions club? Being able to count the total number of Villa fans I know on my thumbs, I quite like the idea of getting to know a couple of people that I can do Villa stuff with - e.g. I had two tickets to the Arsenal game, but no one to go with. Likewise if I want to go to a home game, it would be nice to have a pool of people to potentially go with. Certainly doesn't need to be as a member of an actual club, but this seems like the easiest way. This isn't that relevant as most of the time I'm a loner when I watch football and prefer to sit on my own so I can properly follow it. Would be nice to have the option to be social every now and again though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhamvilla Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Being a London-based Villa fan, I thought I'd resurrect this thread! Anyone generally around? And also, has anyone checked out the Villa bar near Elephant and Castle? I think it's called Feed The Yak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in London before moving, I'd be open with meeting some supporters whenever I'm visitng family. I'll try and get to that bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Villans in London to be fair, pretty sure there is a supporters club as well. I remember when I first moved to London (about 15 years ago) it was dead easy to get tickets for all the London away games through official channels. I went to Palace, Fulham, West Ham etc all just by booking through avfc.com. Now its basically impossible to get a ticket .. shame really. Not heard of that pub ... but will look it up!

spiezels Posted Sunday at 03:49 Share Posted Sunday at 03:49 Theres very active north, east, south and west london lions clubs that all meet for home games and always ask for full ballot for all away games. Best bet is follow the facebook groups for the meets. They post most stuff up there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroesAndVillans Posted Monday at 05:30 Share Posted Monday at 05:30 (edited) As someone who grew up in London and held an interest in Villa before 'officially' supporting, I was annoyed by but understood the "why Villa?" question in an age where Chelsea were very good and also not far from where I lived. Now, after moving out of the city, I have had people online calling me a bandwagoner etc. Hope nobody else on this thread has experienced the latter but to be honest I don't really care at the moment. Regardless of where someone is from, if they are Villa they are part of the family. Edited Monday at 05:32 by HeroesAndVillans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be one there. I moved to Worcestershire, heading into the Black Country this summer though as our current place was only temporary. Hoping to regularly attend games next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted Monday at 14:24 Share Posted Monday at 14:24 I used to travel to games in the 80's and 90's with the London Lions , we'd meet at Euston and get cheap rail tickets to the games I bump into a few faces at matches from time to time but no idea if the club is still going or any of them are around , I think sadly a few of the members have passed away and one of them bizarrely has started support Crystal Palace instead , but they were great days , used to meet the London Wolves club on the train and have a good old time with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted Thursday at 23:27 Share Posted Thursday at 23:27 Went to feed the yak tonight in south London, absolutely brilliant atmosphere. Only way I could catch the game was if I went from my workplace in Surrey to London Waterloo and then to elephant and castle and the short walk to the venue. Really glad I went as met some top people and the atmosphere was as loud as anything I’ve seen recently at VP tbh! Will be sure to get back there for any away games I can’t get tickets for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
