Attention All Rivals.net Villans!

Last updated : 05 July 2009 By Tom Vickers

Have you been left in the cold after the closure of Rivals.net? Do you have plenty of things that to say that other fans of your favourite side need to hear but you no longer know how to express yourself?

Well, here at Villa-Mad you have the opportunity to rant, shout and scream about the Villa, with a community of Villans ready to listen to your hopes and fears.

Our thriving messageboard welcomes new contributors as the latest issues of the day are discussed in some detail.

The news page will give you latest transfer stories and there are also opportunities to get involved with our interactive competitions, one of which is the popular predictor game 'Beat The Manager'.

During the season we can offer you team-sheets prior to the big game and after the 90 minutes there are match reports and player ratings to mull over. Did Petrov warrant a seven? Was Friedel worthy of a nine? Let us know via a messageboard post or even an e-mail to the Editor.

If you have previously reported for Rivals.net then get in touch via the 'E-mail the Editor' link on our homepage. We always welcome new journalists to the site and if you think a feature needs to be written and your fellow Villans are in need of more information then send us your piece.

All in all there are plenty of reasons to make Aston Villa-Mad your new fanzine. Get involved today and settle in ahead of the exciting new season at Villa Park.
