If, as a Villa fan, I was on an independent Villa message board with 500+ posts and had accusations and comments aimed at me at being a knuckledragger, I'd be long gone. Are you Villa? Or SHA?
Is every single thing you post a thinly veiled piece of trolling?

I think people are misunderstanding this. All that happened yesterday was they had a PR event to launch the scheme. It doesn't mean one school has been given first go, I'm guessing they did it there as it was relatively close to training ground.
