fair enough on the shirts, understandable really 38k for a midweek game against Middleboro, tells you all you need to know about progress made cheers

general even a limited edition run of non-advertising shirts would surely hit two spots it panders to the oldskool that don't want KrispyKremes written across themselves and it gets nationwide press coverage as a novel move and gets every other set of supporters clamouring for their team to follow our lead and after the first few limited edition boxes role out the sponsor gets the rest of the season for those that miss the boat, there's the sponsored shirt or classic 80's shirt both available in the shop win win

General, Just a quicky to praise Carol at Business Villa. Followed up our cancelled Blackburn game (the date was switched) by waiting a little while then offering us other games. Only her job I'm sure, but it all feels organised now whereas you feel it wouldn't have happened in the past. a sale for you and a free trip out for me - result!

happy birthday from the Welsh contingent too (I always travel abroad to watch my Premier team) next time he's over for a game we could give him the bumps!

General, having seen the cut for the England squad I'm sure you can see some glimmer of potential in that poor manager of ours

General. What a great example yesterday of two different ways to run a team. thanks

General, First well done to all the team at Villa on and off the field. So far so great can be the only sensible verdict to date. The Blackburn game move has caught a few people out. Perhaps I can see both sides. The company I work for were hosting our first corporate gig at that game and bringing 6 very important Clients. Booked for months and costing well over a thousand (my first time in the posh seats) to organise it was a big commitment. Today I've had to phone around, try to persuade people from London and Sheffield to re schedule, and finally had to cancel to my great embarassment. On the other side, now its a weekend, my brother and my father can attend (but we'll be back in the cheap seats!). Always pros and cons. Anyway, I've sent a letter to both yourself and Tony Diffley today (both care of Villa Park), the contents are now slightly out of date due to the move, but please give it due consideration. There's a free photomontage of a revised North Stand in it for you if you do! Incidentally, the folks at Business Villa dealt with it really well. cheers its all good keep it going
