Aston Villa called off their pre-season friendly at Boston, apparently because they have too many injuries in their development squad. But something doesn't quite add up...
http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/ReservesFixtures28th July - they've got enough fit players to send a team to Newport
4th August - they haven't got enough fit players to play Boston
7th August - they've got enough fit players again and they're playing Hinckley
I'm disappointed in the way they've messed us about with our pre-season preparations and their excuse simply doesn't ring true. OK, so they'll come next pre-season. But I'm peeved that they've messed us about and no doubt interrupted our manager's preparation plans. If and when they do finally honour the agreement, then I hope it's as a Championship club.
