Beastmix Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'd much rather a tough 1st game than a newly promoted side. It's good all-round: we need to go in fully focused and if we don't win, it's against another strong team and not the end of the world. Rather than going in blasé against a side we're expected to beat, getting beat, and then having the high potential of 3pts down the drain (like last season). Should be a good match, nonetheless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Palace away last game of the season is perfect if we need to win it. They are pretty much nailed on safe from relegation by then and not playing for much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that to let our pitch recover longer from summer events and then finally to start the North Stand work earlier in May 24? Yes mate. @theboyangel mentioned above we possibly requested it. It's mainly due to P!nk and Springsteen having gigs at Villa Park in the coming weeks. Not sure about the North Stand part of it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Makes sense about North stand knocking down so we may have requested final game away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted June 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2023 no real spells of tough games - it's a decent fixture list. arsenal and city back to back but both at home is as tough as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows who is going to be good/bad next season so too early to tell if there is or isn't any spells of tough games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
