The 1875–76 English football season was Aston Villa's second season, thirteen years before the creation of the Football League. Originally team captains would consult each other in order to resolve any dispute on the pitch. This role was now delegated to an umpire. Each team would bring their own partisan umpire allowing the team captains to concentrate on the game.
