Aston Villa Kit 26/27

[Percy McCarthy]

Are we sure that its not Audi? Lovely F1 Audi next to the Bullring at the moment, in the inaugural Audi cup, we have the club shops both shut (VP and BR), Betano contract for front of shirt expires today.

"Progress through Emery".

Bull Ring is open. When they say ‘both shops’ they mean the big one behind the North Stand & the match-day one under the Holte Hotel (which stands to reason as it’s the match-day one). Fingers crossed though, hope it’s not all a coincidence.

They’ve toured the UK showing off that motor but on the other hand we’re the last gig on the tour, on the day the Betano deal runs out.

I don’t think we will have a shirt sponsor for this season

[Dogtanian]

We can’t afford not to.

[sid1964]

If there was a sponsorship deal that people who work in the club shop were aware of, the name of the new sponsor would be leaked by now.

[Dogtanian]

Why would the club shop people know?

[PeterWithesShin]

Because Doris the tea lady told them, obviously.

[sid1964]

If the club shop has been closed to prepare for the “supposed” unveiling of the new sponsors

Then the staff would be hanging up shirts with the new sponsors name on them? - unless all the staff have been blindfolded!!

The employees of the club don’t work for MI6 - the name would have been leaked by now

[Dogtanian]

Yes, but I thought we established that only the ground shop was closed, the Bullring one is open, and that it’s most likely due to construction activities tomorrow?

So I get what you’re saying, but it just means it’s probably not being launched at the shop tomorrow.

They can announce at any time.

Finallyi have some ITK.

I've heard that the club are going to be doing one of those drone displays making the Audi logo and the Villa lion over the city centre at midnight tonight.

Should be amazing, if true.

Good source, though.

Of course we will, if nothing else we'd just throw the name of a Sawiris company on there and pay ourselves the £26m we're allowed to under the regulations. That nothing is announced yet, if anything, means that we think there is an opportunity to get more than that.

Genuinely can't tell if you're taking the piss or not?

Are you being serious, yes or no.

Of course not, the drone display is tomorrow night after the England game, when there'll be loads of people in town.

A good source told me that the sponsor will actually be Adidas.  To mark it - if you burst into the loos at Snobs at the right time - you'll see the three lines.

[Crown Hill]

So this is Sponsor’s Eve? Exciting!

[PeterWithesShin]

Three lines up my nose
Now my eyes are streaming
