Villa fans can secure their chance to put questions to Paul Lambert ahead of this season's Barclays Premier League curtain-raiser against West Ham.

The club have extended the opportunity to season ticket holders to hear from the new manager and put questions to him ahead of the opening clash of the season against the Hammers.

This will be the first in a series of fans forums organised by the club this season.

Villa Park's Holte Suite will be the venue on Tuesday, August 14, with the forum scheduled to begin at 7.30pm (doors open from 6pm).

Those supporters in attendance will be able to ask the manager about the upcoming season, his hopes for the future and get to know better the man who will lead a re-energised and vibrant Villa team into the new season and beyond.

The forum will be exclusive to season ticket holders and, to be in with a chance of attending this exciting event, season ticket holders will need to register online. [Before 10am on Wednesday August 8].

Those season ticket holders not lucky enough to attend the inaugural fans forum of the season in person will be able to watch a summary of the event on AVTV later that same week and also tune in to BBC WM's delayed broadcast. 

Successful season ticket holders will be sent email confirmation on Thursday August 9. (Please ensure you check your emails and any junk/spam filters on this day).

Please bring your email confirmation and a form of ID with you to the event.

The invite will include a +1 and we encourage the +1 to be a season ticket holder wherever possible.

Executive members will have the opportunity to enter a separate draw to attend the event and will be contacted directly by the hospitality and events team shortly.
