Fair play to them if that is the case AFKA poppy appeal gets plenty of coverage all over. And before people jump down my throat I have bought my poppy and wear it with pride.
Villa can confirm that - contrary to newspaper reports - there will be support for the Royal British Legion at the home game with Middlesbrough on Sunday November 9.
The club's charity partner Acorns will hold the collection for both causes - splitting the proceeds 50-50.
The club will, as usual, also have poppies on sale in the club shop.
Villa are also pleased to announce a link-up with HMS Daring enabling sailors from Birmingham's navy ship to wear claret and blue kits in inter-force competitions.
Villa also have special ticket deals for members of the armed forces and have recently set up a British Forces Lions Club.

Coming soon "Spoilsport head Calls for trick or treat ban", "Shopping Mall bans Santa Claus" and that other annual headline. "Loony left council bans Xmas decorations".
Sounds like another lame attempt to reignite the old O'Neill refused to wear a poppy/sectarian topic from a few years back. Bunch of lazy, mischief-making, two-bob scum are our gutter press.

Me & Fishnets will have our won take it on it, O'Neill, and not upsetting his republican sensibilities, he did the same at celt**
Should shopping centres ban poppy collections because somebody else is collecting for kids on the sameday, disgraceful.
No reason not to do both
