Sky Already Irritating Aston Villa Fans / Fixtures Thread

[mike_field]

With the announcement of the fixture list for the coming 2018/19 Championship campaign, whilst it's a nice distraction for Aston Villa fans given the last few weeks we've had on a financial news front and linked transfer speculation, the confirmation of our first live game of the season hasn't gone over well with fans.

With the release of the fixture list for the coming 2018/19 Championship campaign, Aston Villa have certainly been given an interesting journey around the country as the months of the year tick by, but December is certainly going to be tricky.

To be fair Sky have probably done us a favour with the money we'll get from them televising our first league game and also the first cup game. Tinpot way of looking at it but we're broke . The players will get some shock when Doris arrives in with PLAIN digestives.

 

[The Fear]

I'm hearing it might even be as serious as just own brand rich tea biscuits Holte End Hero... sad but true!

 

[sirdennis]

That news is hard to digest.

 

[sirdennis]

In fact it's just plain crackers.

[TheYank]

God, looking at that list we have to be favorite for promotion, even with the rumors floating around. Name one fixture there that scares you, what Swansea away? Put that list in the reasons for optimism thread

 

[Bikini Inspector]

If everything with the playing squad stays the same as it is now then I'm okay with the first 10 fixtures. We could get off to a good start there.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Agree bikini , and making a good start is vital . Get in that top 2 and stay there as wolves did so well

 

[mike_field]

Agree bikini , and making a good start is vital .

Everything we do is Vital - get with the programme Silhil!

 

[Silhillvilla]

Apologies Mike I was having a blonde moment

 

[mike_field]

I'm having that many these days I thinking I should just get highlights!

 

[BBJ]

I'm hearing it might even be as serious as just own brand rich tea biscuits Holte End Hero... sad but true!

Big bags of broken biscuits past their sell-by-date from one of the stalls outside the old Rag Market is what I've heard.

 

[col8]

That news is hard to digest.

Oh crumbs

Earlier today Aston Villa confirmed that both derby clashes with Birmingham City have now been switched.

[mike_field]

Aston Villa's home hosting of newly promoted Rotherham United is the latest match to suffer a switch.
