Welcome Villa Fans

Welcome to Villans Worldwide, an Aston Villa football club supporters and fans site for villans from around the world, particularly expats.

Background

Villans Worldwide was established in July 2005 in Sydney Australia as the first online club of its kind to allow supporters living overseas the means to join an officially registered supporters club and enjoy the interaction of an online community supporting Aston Villa football club a premier league team in England.

Aston Villa FC officially sanctioned the Villans Worldwide Supporters Club in November 2006 as an extension to the Aussie Villans Supporters Club that was initially established in 1990.

In 2009 Aston Villa FC introduced the Lions Club network, which in turn has fullfilled the gap and extended to clubs within England that Villans Worldwide was in fact established for.

As a result of the AVFC Lions Clubs network and website, Villans Worldwide is reinventing itself as a virtual supporters club and fan site centered around providing an online community for like minded Villa supporters and fans of Aston Villa.

With this in mind we are redesigning our web site with the following objectives:

• Blog and comments based community.
• Message board for organising events and chatting about Villa topics.
• Match reports from season ticket holders.
• A place where Villa fans can find information on travel etc.
• Link into and support the AVFC Lions Club Network.

The focus of Villans Worldwide is to give you another option as an Aston Villa Supporter to get in touch with fellow Aston Villa Supporters in your local area and from around the world, including local Birmingham fans.

A major part of the online community is to make new Claret & Blue friends and organise regular trips to Villa Park.  If a club exists in your local area we encourage you to join them as the local social aspects are second to none.

New Site

Stay tuned as we will launch our new site as soon as time permits!

In the mean time please think about the crests on the right. These are options to adopt for the new Villans Worldwide that incorporate the original rampant lion of Scotland. This was on one of the very first Villa shirts and detailed on the Aston Villa site in the history section - "Kits".

A short blog on the logo with comments to get feedback will be on the new site followed by a poll to vote on the one you like the most

Up the mighty Villa!
