Rugeley Villa Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 personally i dont think this protest will change things, but well done to the people who have put time and effort into it. i suppose anything is worth trying, and if it only shows lerner and co how much we want them out its worth it. with a bigger crowd at the next home game, and with more people walking out it keeps the pressure on.

andyh Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The coverage of the walkout on Central news tonight was excellent It made it appear to be a really,really well supported protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all about the individuals protesting, it wasn't about doing anything positive. Paul, surely there were enough people on board to suggest it was not about individuals? I totally respect your stance, but the more people that join the more it becomes a collective effort. I have just posted elsewhere, even if the odds are against us it demonstrates our collective anger, it attracts more media attention and it will find its way into the psyche of executives like Fox, which could be significant when decisions are being made in the future. It might also put pressure on Lerner to change tack. Of course it is a long shot, we all know that, but we have very little to lose and everything to gain. As a 47 year old Villa fan I would implore you and others to get on board, if we stand together we can make a difference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Tell you what, watching the game, the whole stadium (half empty) singing "**** off Tom fox" and the new anti randy song was a damn site more impressive and impacting than the walk out. Saw footage and you could see fix squirming, plus even without the commentators Referring to it you can hear what is it. Tbh it works well in conjunction with the walk out. Radio 1 even went into detail about OTD74 this morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the people organising this have been simply waiting for the club's poor form to reach a point when they could opportunistically thrust themselves into the limelight? What an incredibly paranoid (and deeply uncharitable) point of view you're putting forward here. Edited March 2, 2016 by HanoiVillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisVillan Posted March 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2016 Whatever the protest was "about", it goes down as a win in my view. What it had over other ideas or ultimate aims was that there were people who organised it and made it happen. That's it. It should serve as inspiration for anyone brewing realistic ideas of their own. Judging this one by whether it drove Lerner away, or by how many people left, is only part of it. It was, undeniably in my opinion, a pretty massive propaganda win. It was everywhere last night and this morning. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio 1 even went into detail about OTD74 this morning Chants were indeed good - but would have barely figured in media coverage without the walkout. But wouldn't you agree the reason the chants were impacting is because 10000 people joined in ? Had the same 10000 also then walked out which would've been the more powerful ? I think fans - if they want to make an impact - have to do more than either sing, attend, or stay away, as these three things are just part of football life everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGabbana Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 To all the people who say the protest was useless and a bad idea. Does this mean you would rather sit there looking like a mug continually doing f all yet moan online etc about how the club has been run. Personally id rather do something to show my frustration so the board know the fans are not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Personally, I only got into it for the fame and fortune. It's been a bit of a disappointment on that score. I'm getting married in three weeks, I thought this was my last chance to get on the coke-and-orgies circuit. Nevermind, maybe the postman will bring my invitation to the Viper Rooms along with this week's royalty payments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
