[Exiledvillan]

Hi folks, has anyone done the stadium tour? Am flying over on thursday-monday with the young Villan, We’re doing the tour friday, be my first time on the hallowed turf (legally ). Just wondering if anyone had any idea if they let you have photos with the EC? Oh, and is it as good as we are hoping it to be?

Tour was brilliant thanks Foxy, the young Villan loved it almost as much as me. No stars or former stars on show and the ‘82 lounge’ was closed due to a conference. Got photos of us with the Trophies and the changing rooms. The tunnel was the best bit, we all lined up and walked out onto the pitch with the entrance fanfare music blasting, and I mean BLASTING!!!! Goosebumps all over and I could feel myself welling up with emotion, and in that moment I shed a tear I’m afraid.
Got to sit in SBs chair in the press conference room and sat in Dr Xs matchday ‘heated’ seat.
It truly is a magnificent stadium, and for a Villa fan it’s magical. I’ve done Madrid and Barca and they’re very nice, impressive stadiums, all very high tech. But this place brought me to my emotional utopia.
Home is where the heart is I suppose.
