The Aztexan 25 October @ 10:14 AM EST
The Aztex have returned from their tour of England, victorious in all 3 of their exhibitions there.
They also trained at top-flight facilities, attended a couple of Premier League matches, and even
left a player behind for a trial in the big league.
- Game 1, Oct. 14 - Austin Aztex 1-0 Stoke City FC Academy
This game was a bit of disappointment to some fans, as we had assumed that Stoke would field their
first team, or at least some level of it, rather than the U18 academy squad.

in the Football League in controversial circumstances in 1962, Oxford were elected in their place.
When Oxford surprisingly fell through the trap door and into the Blue Square Premier in 2006,
Accrington were promoted in their place.

Whatever one might think about the current goings-on at Meadow Lane, it's difficult to not feel
come degree of sympathy for their supporters over the media reactions to their appointment of Sven
Goran Eriksson and Tord Grip. Heaven forfend that some elements of the British media would find the
time to go out and actually learn anything about Notts County Football Club, the oldest of all of
the Football League clubs and founder members of the oldest football league in the world - it was
far easier and more convenient to run a number of patronising articles that read as something like
print equivalent of the "Accrington Stanley?
