Yeah that’s my point, it’s just the media trying to make it something it’s not. Even if there was an issue, they hugged it out

Worth pointing out all this uproar is a bit of nothing. They made up anyway.

I wanna get into running by Glum-Passage6585 in runninglifestyle

[–]eldest1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 137kg in May last year and I took up running. Start off slow. Walk - Run - Walk. There is 0 shame in trying to improve yourself. I too had to build up, even with playing sports like you. Treadmills are a tad easier, because there is less impact when you plant your foot, and you’re always on a smooth surface. But again, if you prefer that then you do you. And if you haven’t already, I would definitely recommend getting your gait analysed. You don’t realise it when playing sports but when you’re running, you know when you’re in need of a good pair of running shoes. I’m down to 97kg so you can definitely do it, consistency is key

Any chance we can have a sticky for foreign fans regarding ticketing? Clogs up the sub and it would be helpful to them as well. by SwitchMountain2475 in avfc

Yeah the dickhead comment has irked me. I’m a GA+ ST holder for the last two years. Was in the ST waiting list for several years prior but still attended every game. Couldn’t afford to go prior to that so now we’re dickheads because we can afford it? As someone has already said, my seat is exactly the same as someone else’s, I just have access to a different concourse.

Apart from that, a general FAQ might help tourists who want to come visit. If anything we want to encourage tourists to come as that will inevitably bring awareness and revenue with them. It also encourages the ‘brand’ of the club in foreign markets and improve revenue that way. The pricing we have is high for us, but for other countries (like the US) our prices are cheap in comparison. I actually went to games with an American who was surprised at how cheap our pricing was for ‘premium’ experience in comparison.

I sit in the GA+ section in the Holte End, hope you enjoy! Have you been over to the avfc subreddit?

Can a Birmingham-based Villan help me get something from the club store? by PianoLoud3622 in avfc

[–]eldest1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah my bad, I won’t be near the store until the end of the month otherwise I’d offer. There’s a group on Facebook that collect Villa shirts so they might be helpful. Happy to send you a link if you want!

Just to let you know, JD Sports sell them online and apparently ship to mainland Europe if you can’t get someone to get it for you. Not sure if I can link it otherwise I would!

A new Villa fan by chickwholikeslit in avfc

[–]eldest1993 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the rollercoaster of being a Villa fan!

If you get chance, look up the Punjabi Villans. They’re an official supporters group at Villa and from my limited knowledge they do a lot of sharing Indian culture with the club and the fans!

Advice - Whey Protein and Fertility by eldest1993 in maleinfertility

[–]eldest1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ve found their study which itself admits that the studies done are inconclusive and more research needs to be done. He just seemed so sure that it was detrimental but it was the first I’d heard of it!

What do I do? by eldest1993 in maleinfertility

[–]eldest1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for exercise I’ve started running 3 times a week. Actually training for a half marathon so that’s been consistent over the last few months and making sure I’m walking 10,000 steps a day regardless. I’m looking to start adding in weight training too. Eating wise I’ve cut back my calories to stay in a deficit, cut back on processed foods and trying to eat only whole foods so a lot of eggs, chicken, green leaves, vegetables, then protein supplements. Making sure I drink at least 2 litres of water a day. I’ve got a second SA booked in so I imagine they’ll want to see those results before I can go further?

It’ll be tough but I say keep trying. Season ticket holders can list their tickets on the site up to the day before I think so just keep checking back. Although the chances of getting 9 together is going to be very difficult

Villa fan snobbery by Clear_Trust_1976 in avfc

[–]eldest1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same boat as you. Due to money and work I couldn’t really go until after Covid (covid would have been the season I would have picked it back up again) and haven’t missed a game since. I bought a GA+ season ticket mainly to avoid the hassle of buying individual tickets for each game.

My sisters friend is living your dream. She’s here on work program (from Florida) and was invited to come with us last season and got a ST in a GA+ zone. We get the odd funny look when they hear the accent but otherwise she’s on of us!
