Aston Villa Kit 26/27

Yep, I think PT is absolutely right with what he's doing here, raise it, make it very clear why this would be unacceptable and then leave it with the club to decide how they proceed. If they go ahead then clearly the financial rewards are worth the potential loss of goodwill, etc but the time to complain is before anything has happened not by boycotting the shirt when it's already too late for the club to back out until next summer.

Would you buy it?

That is a thing of beauty

Also, these things do have an effect, clubs have backed out of deals when concerns have been raised.

Surely it must have crossed their minds that any association with Rwanda in a commercial sense wouldn’t sit well with quite a number of fans and associates. It’s very much a strange one.

Went to the club shop Saturday and nothing “Visit Rwanda” in sight.

Got my eldest and I the new home shirt, very nice and like the lack of a sponsor too

Thanks for the reporting back, and yes I hope now is the time to kick up a fuss to stop anything happening, or wriggle out of it if signed. I’m naively optimistic. At least I know questions are being asked internally on my behalf.
It’s not nice to be forceful and threaten embarrassing the club with negative publicity, the last thing I’d want, but if that’s what is necessary to keep our hands clean so be it.

Not go to too far off topic, just seen someone share they have a friend 10miles from a WC group game who can’t afford to buy a tkt (one) as it would cost them more than it cost (for two) to fly to the uk, accommodation and two way over FV tickets for FA Cup final two years ago. Amazing. There were protests about Beijing hosting Olympics re: human rights, clearly there should have been the same for Trumps America (obv FIFA at fault on tkt pricing. What a mess.)

[Hookeysmith]

Heard on a recent pod cast that the Audi deal is not real and they are looking closer to home??

Cadbury?
JLR?
Not aware of anyone else big enough locally who could spare a £40 - £50million sponsorship deal

Also, and all joking aside. would a local provider not isolate the unwashed support (albeit a very small number granted) but i remember telling my Mom not to buy a Triton shower when we was looking for one in the 80's and i know a few noses that boycotted Luke clothing 

[Dogtanian]

I hardly think anyone would care about that lot.

And JLR need to sort their own shitness out before worrying about getting involved with professional organisations.

If you’re referring to what Tanswell said on a podcast, he said local as in UK-based.

No idea how he’d know, and no idea why the Villa would prefer local to global, regardless of the money. I suspect we’d prefer the highest bidder.

Maybe it's

Visit Rhondda?

[PeterWithesShin]

Maybe it's

Visit Rhondda?

Maybe we're asking for help?

[Smirker]

Cadbury would be a rassclart mad ting.

[Dogtanian]

Can you imagine the melting jokes every time we lose.

[cdbearsfan]

I cannot and do not wish to be advised of any.
