Interesting football facts for matches between Celtic and Aston Villa.Celtic have played Villa 9 times with 4 wins each and 1 draw. Most were friendlies.Here are the results:09/04/1894 Aston Villa 3 v Celtic 221/04/1894 Celtic 2 v Aston Villa 120/04/1896 Celtic 3 v Aston Villa 221/12/1900 Aston Villa 3 v Celtic 102/09/1901 Aston Villa 2 v Celtic 120/04/1911 Celtic 1 v Aston Villa 101/03/1947 Aston Villa 1 v Celtic 205/02/1949 Celtic 0 v Aston Villa 202/08/1986 Celtic 1 v Aston Villa 0
The politics of this make it unwise.The Stan connection is nice, but you cannot undo the past.
Personally, I'd prefer it to be at Celtic Park. Never one to miss an opportunity to visit Scotland.
To Dekuip, i only mentioned professional matches whether Friendlies or competitive matches NOT 5 a side.I have just emailed Andrew Lansley MP, Secretary of State for Health asking if he and his colleagues would kindly request that the HMRC waive all the VAT from the benefit match if it takes place. I explained the situation with STAN and also how much Leukemia research stood to benefit. Capacity crowd at Celtic park with tickets at £19 means minimum of £1,155,808 and if at Villa Park if capacity crowd it would be minimum of £812,972 and that's just from tickets. That doesn't account for all merchandise and the possible Bulgarian TV money as well.All that going to Leukemia research.Hopefully i get a positive reply. I also agree that ALL politics should be binned. Actually, come to think of it, politics should have no place in football.
