villanwesty88 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'd like to see us play some pre-season games in different parts of the country. It's great we regularly play lower league sides from the area but why not mix it up a bit? It would give fans from different parts of the country a chance to watch us. Clubs I'd like to see us play; Torquay United, York City, Oxford United, Cambridge, Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I'd like to see a Pre-season European Champions Trophy tournament in China, where a group of pre-Champions league winners playoff for the right to take on a "champions league" winner Group A possibles Celtic Notts Forest Aston Villa Group B possibles Real Madrid Barcalona Bayern Munich "........long ball from Baker to Hutton on the wing, takes on the "Real/Barca/Bayern" defenders and crosses Hogan miss-times his jump by 2meters, ball half-cleared to Bacuna who's shot, going wide deflects off Thors shin and goes in. Champions of Europe Trophy goes to the Villa........" Come on Tony, make it happen Edited May 12, 2017 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 My old chap is a season ticket holder at Nuneaton Town. Apparently Villa are appearing at Nuneaton on a Friday evening in July? Assume it will be some sort of academy Villa XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a two or three day tournament with Rangers, Liverpool and others (including the Dirty Coventry Vermin) around 29th and 30th July. I'll double check tonight with him when I tuck into lasagne at my folks. Dementia is prevalent in my family history - and he is 77 next month and the longest living of all his brothers. Has to watch the TV at an unfeasibly high volume and the stubborn sod won't get a hearing aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
