Aston Villa confirmed on Monday that a road at Bodymoor Heath will be permanently named Withe Way following an $AVL Fan Token vote.
And a number of Villa supporters have been reacting to the news on social media.
Villa revealed details regarding the launch of the $AVL Fan Token last month, with fans offered the opportunity to vote for a road name at Bodymoor Heath in celebration of the club’s 40th anniversary of the 1982 European Cup Win.
Season ticket holders and members were entitled to receive a free token, whereas it would cost others £2 to get involved.
The choices were Withe Way, Mortimer Avenue and Rotterdam Lane, with Withe Way winning in reference to the match-winner Peter Withe.
Villa fans react
Villa shared the news regarding the winner of the fan vote on their official Twitter page.
This is what these Villa fans had to say in reply, with a mixed response and one calling it ‘crazy’.
“Wow I’m sure the three currency speculators who voted are really pleased with their decision. Just cancel this total disgrace of a partnership”
