Reasons To Adopt
Aston Villa work as a second team because they come with their own geography: England, Villa Park, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
Deep roots
Founded in 1874, Aston Villa were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 152 years of accumulated grudges.
Nothing won, everything to play for
The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting Aston Villa is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.
Proper ground
Villa Park takes roughly 43,205, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as The Villans The Lions. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
