dAVe80 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Love the people on Facebook saying stupid shit like 'another season of fighting relegation'. I'm not sure what was more embarrassing, the fans of other clubs who thought it was the first team, or our own fans?! I really must stop reading FB updates, they make me fear for humanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiney Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 A mate of mine works for Newport, I was talking to him before the game and he was saying that villa had promised 5 players from the first team. They were pretty annoyed we didn't honour it! Pretty disrespectful if that is the case, not only to Newport but also the villa fans who travelled down for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cropley Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pretty piss poor under any circumstances, as I said earlier.....it's not like we haven't got the so called 'bomb squad' sitting around, doing feck all for mega bucks.....why not send some or all of them ?

RunRickyRun Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) A mate of mine works for Newport, I was talking to him before the game and he was saying that villa had promised 5 players from the first team. They were pretty annoyed we didn't honour it! Pretty disrespectful if that is the case, not only to Newport but also the villa fans who travelled down for it Chinese whispers. I can't see any statement by AVFC other than the stuff on the official website previewing the game among the other 'development squad' fixtures - here. I think they should look to their own club for the nature of the publicity & pricing of the fixture. Edited July 29, 2013 by RunRickyRun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 agree with that even if we had taken the 1st team they've still charged more than i've paid for crewe, walsall and malaga not sure what others paid for luton, wycome etc but £17 is a rip off for preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is commercial manager for Newport so is pretty involved with the day to day running of the club. If he said Villa agreed to field 5 first team players I'm inclined to believe it to be honest. I agree completely about the pricing of the fixture just don't like to hear about the club conducting themselves in anything but a professional manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Im pretty sure it was Villa XI registered to go. that can be anybody really. Clubs fault for charging the "£17 entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
