After the season was ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The FA recently announced that Gemma Davies’ team had been awarded the title and a place in the Women’s Super League for the 2020/21 season.
Villa were unbeaten when the season was halted, winning thirteen and drawing one of their league fixtures as they sat six points clear at the top of the table, with a basic points-per-game formula used to determine the final outcome with sporting merit determining promotion and relegation.
Talking to Faye Carruthers on talkSPORT2, Villa's Sporting Director Eni Aluko confirmed plans to move to the Banks's with both clubs likely to make a more formal announcement in the not-too-distant future.
The income generated from the yet-to-be announced deal will no-doubt serve as a small boost to the club as chairman Leigh Pomlett continues to guide us through the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Walsall-born Pomlett, a former Blue Coat School pupil, recently went as far as to ask fans money-making suggestions in a bid top generate some much-needed cash as he, and his fellow League Two chairmen, continue to await a formal vote to end the 2019/20 campaign.
