jasthevillan Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 One for the mantlepiece, General, nice to meet you at long last: A great night had by all, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 General, I coudln't make the Rotterdam '82 night tonight but I heard someone mention a testimonial for the team. Is it possible for something to be arranged. I think it's a cracking idea and, well I don't think the new Wembley, let alone Villa Park, would be big enough but my gosh you'd get a full house and then some for that game!

SoSolidCarew Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sorry to mention the badge but I do have a question related to it... My own opinion is that I am growing to like it but I just wondered what your thoughts are of the reaction the new badge has gotten from sites such as these? Particularly the comments from the professional designer on the frint page of VT? Personally whilst it may not have been what I expected I think that it shows we are making a new start and looking to the future... a bright future indeed!!

PauloBarnesi Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Dear General As you may or maynot know the videos on AVFC.co.uk are copyright protected. I would love to get this but as a Mac user it doesn’t work. We maybe a minorirty, but a sizeable one. Please help! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granto Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 General, What a fantastic day today...I wish I could have been there...congrats to you and everyone involved. I'd wonder if you can suggest a commemorative DVD of the entire day today. It looked magic from beginning to end... My order would be a certainty as would many others I'm sure. Thanks!

trekka Posted May 5, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2007 I'm glad those who were there (I'm very jealous!) managed to show Randy just what we think of him and everyone else involved with our club. "One Randy Lerner, there's only one Randy Lerner". General, don't be surprised to hear your name chanted around Villa Park next season as you too are thought about as highly as Randy! Now all we need is a "one General Krulak, there's only one General Krulak" and everyone's happy Could you tell us how Randy felt about the day? I can imagine (and hope!) that he was touched and thoroughly enjoyed himself! Thankyou once again Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 General, I couldn't make the game today through to illness (sorry Seb - Belgian supporters club), but watching it on TV they had a shot of the 82 squad which panned across to yourself and fellow directors and Randy in the box, all with your scarves on as the fans chanted 'THERE'S ONLY ONE RANDY LERNER!' This really brought a lump to my throat and a real sense of pride. I was wondering how yourself, fellow directors, the 82 squad and most importantly Randy felt at the gesture of acceptance and support from the supporters, especially as it seems other clubs with foreign (sorry no offence), let alone American owners seem to be slightly hostile. You all really proud and joyess to be there today! Stew. PS - Pride does not even cover today, nor dos class. Randy, yourself, the rest of the board, Martin and his staff have show true class so far. I will admit I do not like the new badge, but to everything right is not human, and forgiveness of faults is even more so. GOd bless you all, and thank you for your involvement in this great club.

The_Lions_Roar Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Just like to say a very big thank you for the whole day today, it was magical and made even better by the lads turning in our biggest win of the season. Really appreciate all the effort that you and the other directors have put in to organise the day. It made the hairs on my neck stand up and im sure silverware for Aston Villa is just around the corner. We ARE going places! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 General Krulak here: 1. Either I wrote the wrong reply or someone read my answer wrong...the new Badge will NOT be on the scarf. We could not put it on the scarf because it would have become "public" way before intended. You little fibber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 all I would say General is that today was fantastic everything I wanted from the previous regime was there and nicely done. the scarves were fantastic and the new badge looks great on them and can I say where I sit (well stood all game) I never heard one person mention it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grievemeister Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What a great day General. Many thanks to yourself, Randy and the board for getting the '82' team together. It was an emotional occassion. Do you have any feedback on how they felt when they walked on the pitch to the reaction they received? Also I'd like to add that I have never known another club sing for their Chairman. This is how much of an impact he has made at the club. Also thanks for the scarves, it was a nice surprise to see the new badge on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddysi Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 General and mods Apologies, I think this, for a little while at least, is going to turn in to a congratulations thread. Today was....perfect, the atmosphere was fantastic, the result brilliant. You should feel justly proud that you made possible a truly memorable day at VP that people will say "I was there". I am seriously impressed with the level of respect that Randy, yourself and all the new administration have for Aston Villa. What a great day!

You know, im actually warming to the badge. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
