Possible phone conversation Tom Fox : Mr Lerner! Mr Lerner! The fans! They are revolting! Lerner : Yes Tom, I agree. I don't like them either. That's why I don't go and send you to the games instead.

If there is anything left that makes me proud of this club, its the fans. When the owner and the players care factor hits zero, its the fans that remain to uphold the passion and pride of Villa. If I wasn't half a planet away, I would love to be walking out with you. My thoughts are with you all, and hope that OTD74 brings the ivory towers crashing down.

I have loved Villa for nearly 20 years now. I was not born in Birmingham, or even England for that matter, but I came to love Villa because of the way the club always made an effort, and were always entertaining, without using any ginormous cheque books. Things have changed drastically the other way now, ( except not using any money)but I still support the claret and blue. I have been moved to join this site because of the fans who have said enough is enough, and they will not stand for any more crap, and are prepared to sacrifice 16 plus minutes of match day to express it. Of course I mean OTD74. There is something still left in this club to be proud of, and that is the fans. I wish to be counted amongst you, and I really wish I was there. UTV!!! Oh yes, I am an Aussie.
