Butterfingers Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 43 minutes ago, Harry said: I had vowed to stop going. I have missed the last two home games, Norwich because I was away and I could not be arsed with Liverpool game. Funnily enough I think I will go to the Everton game just so I can walk out on 74 minutes. Without wanting to fall out with those who have set this up and for whom I have the utmost respect I don't really see what its going to achieve unless we get thousands leaving but I applaud the 'mission statement' that has been created. Sadly the club is rotten to the core and something however small and token it might end up being must be done. So you can count me and who ever I take with me in. A walkout on its own may not achieve much It could however be the springboard to other actions further down the line. Remember this started from a speculative post from Mike. less than 2 weeks ago and look how its snowballed. Its very hard to argue with the statement that its better to do something than to sit back and allow these money men to rape our club & the club of future generations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just incase the guys organising this haven't heard it. Collymore has acknowledged the protest, asking as part of his 'call collymore' whether people will be taking part. I know some of you organising it wanted him onside so this might be your chance if he hasn't responded to you guys already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it was our man @DK82 on the call, it took a week to get through to Stan, but he reckons he is on board.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Stan confirmed he will be in attendance and will be out the door on 74. We took over Call Collymore tonight! In fairness to Stan, he really pushed both @DK82 and myself but gave as much backing as can possibly be expected. He pretty much gave us the whole show. Perhaps he has been holding back until today specifically for various reasons, I dunno, either way happy he's given us the exposure we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 When you think how many people across the country listen to Talk Sport that is huge exposure for the campaign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 'we' (as in ALL of us) haven't been pushing the "springboard" angle hard enough, but I'm pretty sure that is what Mike intended and I'm very hopeful it is what it will become.

Guest Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Two weeks ago I cast doubt on this campaign. Then I went away and thought about it, about what the club means to me, about the legacy I want this club to leave for others. I realised that it is very important that we try and change the direction of the club. Once a football club hits a download spiral, it's so hard to stop that. Those in charge thinks good/bad form is like turning a light on and off. It isn't. It's vitally important that we find a way to change the way those in charge think. Stop them believing their own hype. Make them realise the most important thing is a club - one which generations =, grandparents, sons, daughters, have put their life and money into - is there for the fans and not despite. If we can achieve this. We can help make sure there is a club there in 5/10 years time, in 50 years time, in 100 years time. So that there are children who are happy to talk about that day they had at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that there are children who are happy to talk about that day they had at Villa Park. I was thinking about what you said on Call Collymore and have reiterated above. It really touched a nerve for me, what kind of club will I be leaving for my son? After all I am the club, WE are the club. It is OUR responsibility to ensure Aston Villa have a future. I certainly won't allow her to sleepwalk into oblivion any longer. **** you Lerner. **** your 'custodian' bullshit. I'm done with it. This Lion is going to roar and you will hear me you vicious bastard. Make no mistake, you will know nothing like our anger. Full force. Maybe best to start thinking about that asking price eh mate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 As I've said you guys might aswell extend this to the Spurs game (if that wasn't already the plan) as it's live on Sky now so what more media exposure can you get than a live tv game beamed across the World?

This is it mate. The club is a legacy to real fans. We pass the club on, we tell the stories, we share memories. That child grows up a fan, they find their own stories, they find their own memories, they pass the club on. The owner and board are destroying a legacy for thousands. We need to stop them.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 For anyone who didn't hear http://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1456596000# @DK82 15 minutes in to the 19.30-20.00 slot I'm 11 minutes in to the 20.30-21.00 slot I've been very critical of Stan over the past year, but I hold my hands up - I was wrong. He's been championing the cause longer than I have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
