Is there any point in saying that this 140th anniversary is a marketing fabrication with no basis in fact?

taken from Wiki who claim it is March:  Aston Villa Football Club were formed in March 1874, by four members of the Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel (known as early as 1867 as Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel)[1] in Handsworth. The four founders were Jack Hughes, Frederick Matthews, Walter Price and William Scattergood

The date is side issue.

Certainly an emotional watch for me patricularly remembering friends no longer here who shared some if those times with me.

It shows what the club was capable of and maybe ,just maybe, might achive again.



It very likely wasn't then either.

How could we have been formed in 1874 when football wasn't invented until 1992?

Emotional, it bought back some memories of loved ones no longer with us.

It's a pretty safe bet that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th but we still celebrate Christmas, don't we? Dave, you do celebrate Christmas, right?

Can you think of a better time to separate people from their money?

That was down to the church.

I suggest we ask Archbishop Cockthrottle to settle this

Now that the office is emptying and I have had a chance to watch it, I must say it is a lovely piece of work. I wonder who was responsible for the words?

It really is mystifying that the same people can put together something as classy as this, then be so totally and regularly wrong-footed by the local media.

Probably done by an outside agency

This is NOT the club's birthday. It MIGHT have been the day of the first match, but the founding of the club was probably in October.

I love Aston Villa Football Club through good times and bad it's still magical and the shining light on the rest of English football.
