FOOTBALL fans can enjoy the beautiful game at a walking pace at Villa Park.
The Aston Villa Foundation is running weekly walking football sessions for the over 50s.
Ryan Hollings, the foundation's health and wellbeing manager, said: "Walking football is a slow paced version of normal football.
"It's aimed at the over 50s, getting guys of that age a little bit more active."

He continued: "The programme has been very successful, on average we get between 20 to 25 regular attendees.
"Ideally, we'd like to increase that and start running multiple sessions.
"It's just a case of trying to get more interest from the Aston Villa supporters in surrounding areas."
Sessions cost £2.50 and take place at the Academy Building, opposite the North Stand, every Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm.
People can turn up on the day or email ryan.hollings@avfc.co.uk or call 0121 3272299 to register.
