UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Footy-Vill]

Did you know from next season it will be simply called the Uefa Conference league. So this is our one and only chance to lift the Uefa Europa Conference League trophy!

Their midfielder Joe Newell is from Tamworth and a nose.

Can't be right, they are all Brummies.

Thank You for some Insight.
I can reveal Harry McKirdy and Doyle Hayes are Villa academy graduates. Many here are familiar with them to a degree.

I’m not familiar. Can you help me out?

Getting a ticket for the Hibs game 24th August will be difficult enough, getting accommodation in Edinburgh in August more difficult still.

Would this be the first time we've played a Scottish team at Villa Park since 1976?

Hib, 1989.

Was that friendly the first appearance of God?  I seem to recall it may have been the case for Kent Nielsen

We're such a big draw, we've crashed their forum.

Bit defeatist aren't they?  Expecting to lose to Lucerne.

Hibernian been poor for a few seasons

They seem to think we're not bothered about it and it won't sell out so they'll get loads of tickets. If it is Hibs, I would expect it to sell out, fingers crossed.

We are up there the night after watching my daughter at The Fringe and yep, hotels are £££ and scarce!

Percy is right, we beat Rangers 3-1 in 1887, match was played in Crewe.

Why was it played in Crewe?

From something I read long ago I think the official reason at the time was 'convenient trains'.

Crewe was the centre of the rail network.

Premier Inn coming in at about £200
This game might still get switched to Villa Park first cos of the Hearts game

It's all change now....sorry, couldn't resist.

I've lost track of what's going on.

As a matter of interest do you know whether that game was played at what is now Gresty Road? I asked the Crewe club historian (self-appointed) when I lived there and he never gave me an answer.

If we are playing Hibs, it needs to be second leg away for me.  Make it so!
