A big thank you to all the supporters who came along to our first Meet the FAB matchday drop-in session in the Holte Pub ahead of the Premier League fixture against Leeds. It was great to meet so many of you, hear your experiences, and discuss the issues that matter most on matchdays and beyond.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable. We want to reassure supporters that all comments, questions, and concerns raised on the day will be fed directly into the agenda for our forthcoming meetings with the club, helping to ensure that supporter voices continue to shape discussion and decision-making.
We’d also like to thank Aston Villa FC for supporting this initiative, and in particular Villa’s President of Business Operations, Francesco Calvo for attending the session in person. His presence demonstrated a clear commitment to the Fan Advisory Board and to open, constructive dialogue with supporters.
Our thanks as well to the staff at the Holte Pub for accommodating us and helping make the session welcoming and accessible. Below are some photos from the event:
What happens next?
These drop-in sessions are part of an agreed programme with the club and are just the start. Supporters should watch this space as further Meet the FAB sessions are planned at both Men’s and Women’s home games before the end of the season. We also expect these to become regular matchday features throughout the 2026/27 season.
Thank you again for taking the time to speak with us. We look forward to continuing these conversations and to meeting many more of you at future drop-ins at Villa Park.
Supporters who wish to stay informed about this and other FAB activity are encouraged to join the FAB mailing list, where we share updates, meeting summaries, and opportunities for fan input.
