I visited Birmingham for the first time last year, and saw my first game, there's plenty of pubs around but I went to the Adventurers, had a great time, nice ales on tap and five minutes walk from the ground.

someone call Levi, his time has come!

Lambert simply must be allowed time to create this new Villa, if he was to be fired before the end of the season, and even if we were to be relegated, I would be sore pissed if Lerner were to lose patience with him to that extent. This is clearly a transition season, a new beginning after the catastrophic error filled tenure of he who shall not be named, we need to be patient and accept that Villa won't be world beaters just yet. This transfer window has demonstrated a prudence that will pay off well should the worst case scenario occur and we are relegated.

One has to be realistic and accept that this rebuilding must be allowed to come to fruition, we simply cannot go through another change of manager and approach again anytime soon, the consequences would be nothing short of disastrous.

I don't think we are going to go down, and as a previous poster has stated, if by the winter window we are in the soup, I think RL will make appropriate decisions at that time. That being said, here is one Villa fan who would face the worst case scenario with a continued support for PL and his vision, it is a long term one, not a quick and easy about face.

we already did that, the other way, I was born in Bournemouth!

lol, yeah, I did think of that, maybe I'm the talisman Villa lacks! Gonna be some wickedly expensive travel budget though, the round trip was 1300 bucks!

"Hey guys, I just got here, why are you leaving??"

But seriously, I do empathise somewhat with Gazton's post, and I agree about the negative fans and the abuse they spew but being a relatively new supporter, and only having been to one game, I am a little gobsmacked at the idea of simply abandoning ship like this. Maybe being as I am so distant I don't have quite the same perspective as I would if I had been going down VP for years and years. I came to Birmingham for the first time for last season's Norwich game and had the time of my life. Familiarity breeds contempt they say. My local team, Victoria Highlanders, gets around 5-800 out on a Saturday afternoon.

I can't imagine how Grimsby Town fans get through the day to be honest, can you imagine?

Up the Villa.

only been following since O'Neill came in, so recent history only.

O'Neill leaving with days to go WTF?????

the Milner sale.

Vidic staying on the field and our ensuing loss

McLeish being appointed, after I posted with confidence saying that no way it would ever happen...WTFFFFFFFF??????

I'm probably dead wrong, and you guys can probably poke a million holes in this theory, but Nigel Reo-Coker is supposedly a philosophical and articulate chap?

we played Columbus Crew about five or six seasons back on pre season tour, along with Toronto FC and one other MLS side I can't remember now, it was under O'Neill.

Disappointing that Birmingham is not an Olympic city.

They should have renamed the city "Olympicopolis". In 1911.
