Aston Villa Academy play first leg of FA Youth Cup semi final this Friday
Written by Damian

This Friday at 7pm the Aston Villa Academy team play the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi final at Stamford Bridge and I think it's worth a mention.

It was commented on yesterday by someone but wouldn't it be fantastic if a few Aston Villa fans turned up - especially when you consider that the ticket price is free and you can then have a night out in London.

The second leg of the semi final is on March 19th and I have no doubt that the club will offer free entry, much like Chelsea have, and they'll be a few more people in attendance - but Friday is also just as important.

If you know a Villa fan in London then email him about this - there are a few of you and I seem to remember there is a supporters club but if you've got a spare few quid, fancy a night in London with a few beers and can take a half day off work, you can get a train at 2.30pm from New Street and be in London by 4pm.

They may just be kids, but to steal a line, the children are our future and they are wearing the claret and blue. If you're in London you should be going. I would if I could and I know there is already a few going so it could be a good night.

Is Delfouneso playing youth as well as reserves? I fancy him to be our next Gabby, even if it IS based on my Footie Manager game. Investing in youth is the way forward.
