Massive own goal by the club if you ask me. Hate the idea of clubs hopping into bed with betting companies. Come on Villa, your better than this.https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1557653051145457665?t=FuaPDLIKyEE4b7af7bACLw&s=19

Calm down, they share our challenger ambition...
They can absolutely f*** off.
It won’t affect me I don’t gamble, so couldn’t care less if it was William Hill or Red32 or Genting, or any of the other myriad of gambling sponsors we see today in football. It would be the same if we had any other sponsor, they are trying to raise the profile of their brand, so consumers will choose them.I’ve never gambled online, or bought a photocopier, I do like Muller yoghurts though, and once drove a Rover. Otherwise I can’t say I have been influenced by Villa’s sponsors at all. Exception - I did sign up to give to Acorns hospice directly because of the association with Aston Villa.
