ASTON VILLA TRAINING GROUND

[scouser#1]

hi in october i am going on holiday with my parents to a caravan site and next to it is aston villa's training ground so i am planning on going there to get some autographs, is there any tips or advice anyone could give me who has been to the training ground, is there any players that don't sign and also this is important what time do the players arrive for training and what days thanks {thumb2} any help would be appreciated

Never been, but it is just pot luck- it is the same with all training grounds & stadiums. Some days people might get 10, others 10. PM me & I'll refer you to someone who collects football signatures IP.

I've post this on another forum for you, just incase you dont see it on there here it is

The training grounds called Bodymore Heath if thats any help to you finding it.
I've been here quite a few times so will try and help you out. Everytime I've been all the players have been brilliant, never had any problems although we have a few new players since I have been like John Carew, Young etc. I'd get there for about 9 half 9 I think they arrive around that time and will gladly stop before they go in. Some get out of there cars for pictures but I think thats mainly after training.

We have a new trainging groung now but I'm pretty sure they still drive out of the same entrance/exit. When you go into the gates theres a small car park for the public to the left and the pitch is straight infront of it so people can watch them train (our new pitches arnt ready yet).

I dont know what else to say, if you have any specific questions then I'll gladly try and answer. I'm hoping to go next week myself! Good luck!

I go there whenever i get a chance really as i'm a big fan.
All the players sign, some are less approachable (Milner, Agbonlahor) but they all sign

at 8am normally to get there before training.
It's very easy to get to, theres a little office by the barrier which autograph collectors stand by and they stop, it's great.

Hope it helps!
