VILLA FANS’ FURY AT GAMBLING SPONSOR

FURIOUS Aston Villa fans are demanding the club ditch their new sponsorship deal with a controversial gambling firm. Villa are understood to have agreed a three-year deal for BK8’s logo to appear on shirts from next season. That is despite BK8 being axed by Norwich in 2021 over sexually provocative adverts, and the Government asking top-flight sides not to have betting firms on the front of shirts. The Aston Villa Supporters’ Trust (AVST) are ‘extremely disappointed’ and are calling for the club to ‘re-evaluate’ the agreement
