To be fair, in the 1873/74 FA Cup, six teams didn't even bother their arses turning up for matches, so maybe not that much has changed after all. 🙂
I really think I should be going to this but there's so many things putting me off.
I can think of another reason this is a bad idea.
We'll probably field a 'weakened' side, go on to lose, and then it'll be endless "Why the fuck did Heck choose this match, he should have known it had potential for being a limp cop-out nothing line-up"
And the people saying that would be right. This is a really stupid decision - you've basically got the whole fucking season to choose a match, and if it is supposed to mean something, why go for something weird like this? Let alone risky in terms of how it will look if it goes badly.
The Centenary game was a friendly. This is a step up from that at least.This has been handled appalling. 2024 was our 150th anniversary so why wasn't a prestigious friendly arranged pre season? They've left it until January 2025 which kind of messes it up and they've chosen a freezing cold Friday night game against West Ham instead? Why? It stinks of Heck trying to get some extra bums on seat's. It's a massive milestone for the club that has been reduced to a half hearted to a tacky attempt to put a few extra bums on seats. It hurts me to say it but I'll be missing this on a point if principle.
I think they will take the game seriously based on the anniversary celebrations

I would guess he’s looked at it and thought, beginning of Jan, weakened team (as you say), everyones skint, games on late on a Friday and on TV….lets package it up as the 150th anniversary game to try and get a few more punters through the door.
Take all the generations of history and meaning, all the lives of players, staff, supporters that have been wrapped up with the club and box it up to try and get 30k fans for a cup game against West Ham.
History as an advert, sums him and his philosophy up really.
An alleged celebration game shouldn’t be played when significant numbers of season ticket holders are either not in attendance or have been displaced to give seats to opposition fans. It is 100% playing on peoples emotions of not wanting to miss out to sell tickets.This 100%
One-off kit, legends all around, VP under the lights with an away section contributing to the atmos and £25 tickets. Bring it on.

Our first shirt was black with a red lion. This replicates that. This looks smart, has no sponsor, and as such I don't see why people are pissed off. As for West Ham, it doesn't matter what they wear. The players will not be confused.

Is that confirmed?
I’ve always thought that picture of this supposed shirt is a mirror image due to the way it was developed.
At the risk of being unpopular I can see the reason why they put this one as the 150th anniversary game. Bit of mystique about it will sell more tickets for a game where otherwise we would be looking at 25k odd. Not supporting it just understating the cynical logic.

Match Report by David Hopps: Courtesy Mark Ledgard
If only Leeds had played in white...
Leeds United 1 Aston Villa 3
About five million people bought the Band Aid pop single in response to the Ethiopian Famine Appeal. Last night Leeds United and Aston Villa did their bit, on a rather smaller scale as only 1,781 spectators braved temperatures around freezing at Elland Road for this charity match.
The bleak scene could hardly have been more unreal. At first glance it was more reminiscent of hockey than soccer-ice hockey, considering the white surface, a hockey international on the terraces where hundreds of school children, guests of the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Coun. Douglas Gabb, sang in a slightly higher key than normal.
In truth, undersoil heating ensured the pitch was in perfect shape, the ball ran freely despite the covering of snow and both sides, realising they might not get another match for weeks, produced a respectable work rate. Leeds proved that, as they took the lead five minutes before half-time. Swan rose well to head on Aspin's ball down the right. Dickinson accelerated through from full back to cross and Sheridan, stealing in from midfield, had time to trap the ball before sliding it past Spink.
Sheridan's balance stood out through a net curtain of falling snowflakes and Aspin and Withe looked willing enough to contest possession in a snowdrift. But as the lights of the gritting lorries flashed by the ground, so ensuring a safe journey home for the Lord Mayor and his entourage, Hughes found life was more hazardous for goalkeepers. McMahon's shot squirmed out of his grasp and Gibson, free on the left, scored from six yards.
Villa, grasping the opportunity for match practice had named the side intended to meet Watford last Saturday and they took the lead after forty-eight minutes, when Gibson headed his second from Dorigo's cross. Interest for Leeds centred on their debutants-Stiles, a midfield player, and Swan, centre half for the reserves, but slipping in alongside McCluskey last night. It would be unfair to judge them in such conditions, as it would a third debutant, who came on as substitute with Donnelly midway through the second half. Both wore a No. 14 shirt. Simmonds, the junior partner, had the short-sleeved one. Walters, increasingly dangerous down the left, missed an excellent chance before crossing for McMahon to head in from almost on the line and stretch Villa's lead fifteen minutes from time.
With proceeds divided between the Lord Mayor's Ethiopian Famine Appeal, the Royal commonwealth Society for the Blind and selected local charities, Frank Gray captured the charitable mood three minutes later as he allowed Spink to save his gently-struck penalty. Leeds, canary yellow shirts glinting against the snow, should have played in white. They would have been unstoppable.
I doubt I’d get the black replica shirt (unless they release a version without the text around the badge), but looks like they’ve nailed it with the adidas casual wear…the claret hoody, adidas detail in black and stand-alone lion in black. Take my money.

The criticism I saw on the Heck thread about hypocrisy for buying CL tickets makes me laugh. I boycott as much as possible places like Costa as I prefer to give my money to local coffee shops. People can’t quite do the same with football club supporting. It’s still fine to criticise things if you don’t agree with them and still not boycott it.

Can I say I like the badge ?
In the anniversary spirit, the shirt should retail at 15 quid, surely?Lol, we aren't a charity , those children in Bangladesh sweatshops need looking after
I think the badge is nice, but the black shirt, not having it! We're the famous Aston Villa FFS, we play in claret and blue, and the other no mark clubs that play in claret and blue wish they were Aston Villa. I don't care if we played in black a handful of times way, way, way back in the day, but everyone who knows football, knows Aston Villa play in claret and blue! This is just wrong and money grabbing nastiness. Up the claret and blue Villa!
Can I say I like the badge ?
That claret hoody is smart. I like that a lot.Hoodies are ok, but anyone over 30 should not be wearing a hoodie :)

Very true, hopefully if i can afford it and get and get a new job after I have been made redundant in March (thanks Reeves ...c**t) then I will be in the position to re-new my season ticket for the 35+ seasons in a row.

Really disappointed in the black shirt. Could we not have done something like this...?
I mean black FFS, at home in the FA Cup. Hope we win, otherwise the optics of losing to these cockney no marks is not going to look great. Like going to a funeral!

I don't know how accurate the shirt history is, but the black one was supposedly used within a few years of our founding where the claret and blue half was over 10 years later. As the first C and B shirt, it could have been considered I suppose.

But with so many people missing out surely it makes more sense not to be a limited run. If we want to generate Money so that we can compete on the PSR level limiting sales isint going to help.

151st
I'm not bothered about the black kit, but it does irk me that were doing it in a match against another team that play in our colours.Their website says that they are wearing their 3rd kit, i.e. white shirts with claret collar. Their away kit is all black.
We may have asked West Ham to wear a change strip, I don't know. If I was them I'd agree and then turn up with our home kit only.

Yes, but if you believe we were formed in 1874, then some of 2023 would have been within our 150th year and we were never going to mark the 150th then.
Isn't it 150 years to when we played our first game, give or take a few weeks? I think that's fair enough if there's dispute over when the cricket lads under the streetlight met and gave birth to us.

It looked like this is what was shown on the big screens before the game. https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1877806617762107741
The shirt was great but mostly because there was no sponsor’s logo plastered across the front and no player names on the back plus big old-fashioned plain numbers. Am I a conservative now?
The 1874 United Kingdom general election saw the incumbent Liberals, led by William Gladstone, lose decisively, even though their party won a majority of the votes cast. Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives won the majority of seats in the House of Commons, largely because they won a number of uncontested seats. It was the first Conservative victory in a general election since 1841.

And in all likelihood never existed.
I think you just have to take it that anything that early in the club’s history is going to be bordering on impossible to get any definitive version of events. Before George Ramsay turned up in 1876, we were the 19th century equivalent of a Wednesday night 5-a-side team. Anything before that is going to be shrouded in mystery and one piece of made up bollocks about gas lamps is as good as the next.
That’s very disappointing. Us old fellas won’t forget you Steve
I believe it every time I go up Heathfield Road. I just choose to.
It was artistic license for the poem, it wasn't meant to be used in a history/geography class.
Well, Liverpool were the first to sing YNWA, Newton Heath fans sang Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, the "cold" goal celebration is Cole Palmers and Small Heath are a bigger club than us.
See? Every club is liberal with the truth so I don't see why we should be any different...
Does anyone know which former players took part in the parade ? Due to upturned collars, scarves, warm hats etc, it was difficult to identify everybody.The usual European Cup winners were there, plus I spotted Ian Taylor and Brian Little.
Noticed Lee Hendrie on the TV coverageDoes anyone know which former players took part in the parade ? Due to upturned collars, scarves, warm hats etc, it was difficult to identify everybody.The usual European Cup winners were there, plus I spotted Ian Taylor and Brian Little.
Was God there ?I don’t think so. Didn’t notice him during the parade and doesn’t seem to feature in any of the pics.
Only tiny complaint is why did it sound like Bradley had been recorded in a toilet ?
Somebody like Steve with that level of senior service should really get a lifelong season ticket and in reality should have been part of anything with a historic feel purely for his insight and knowledge.
However, in terms of last night if the ‘parade’ was anything to go by I didn’t get the feel that there were many if any players out there who wouldn’t be involved in the hospitality lounges every game or media associated to the club?
Might be wrong but the ‘parade’ felt like an afterthought…
Never seen a queue for programmes like last night…was a real throwback moment….obv they ran out :-) well it was only for the GA plebs
Re the 'parade' I remember the 140th anniversary, took place before the match, whether that would have been better last night, I don't know.
