Talk:Aston Villa F.C.

message: In no way is it a major part of club history but it deserves at least passing mention that the team in the late 1960s during the summer off-season played several games in the USA based out of the former Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, the then-new home of Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves, the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons and the first North American Soccerl League's [Atlanta Chiefs]], representing one of the first (if not the very first) appearances of high-level English Football in the  Southern United States.  Whilst perhaps not an instantaneous overwhelming success, it is nonetheless an important landmark in the development of Soccer in the United States.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B1A8:CF95:0:1E:CDCB:A601 (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Villa are the 5th most successful club in history. They were 4th until Chelsea started winning trophys. And someone has hijacked the 'most successful English clubs in history to include Spurs, which is a joke. They have won 2 League Cups in neary 30 years. No where near villa. They have started using European rounds, Runners up in Premier, etc. This is a disgrace trying to include Spurs. It is about major Trophys.AVFC1888 (talk) 18:27, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

message: I've removed the kit sponsor table as it's size was overwhelming on the page and is in my opinion far too much detail. Under the bold, revert, discuss cycle I am opening this up for a consensus to develop here. Woody (talk) 15:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's the right decision as due to the current trend in football many clubs will have a new shirt sponsor every season. I've removed the table in the Burnley article as well, and replaced it with a short prose part. Maybe you can take this to the talkpage of WikiProject Football? I'm sure many will agree with you.

If the section is not going to be updated regularly or correctly, I suggest it be removed completely, since the request to remove the predecessor (the Kit Sponsor table) seems to have been approved two years ago and there is little or no effort to make sure the information in this section is correct (much less comprehensive). 173.174.238.157 (talk) 04:37, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
