Popular Post Gary Thomas Posted February 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2016 BIG THANKS to all those who've worked their asses off to organize and promote this – amazing effort and exposure being created! I have a couple of season tickets and me and lad will be walking out on 74 regardless - to protest yes, but also to acknowledge and support the few who’ve worked so hard to organize some positive action. I really hope the broader fan base turn up to get behind this initiative, to send a loud signal to everyone concerned (the management hierarchy, the media, the fan base) that Villa supporters are able and willing to organize to take action. We have more power and influence than we probably realize but that influence requires solidarity and a bit of sacrifice - missing 16-20mins football is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. This season is done - it is all about creating pressure for next season now IMO. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Just now, lmarsha_926 said: Did you listen to the AMG in Jan the club chose its path then, it has been like this for 4 years you really think now after it is too late they will do anything also 10 thousand empty seats at the start and maybe 2 or 3 thousand leave it will get lost Only a takeover will chnage anything What path did they choose? This board has proven to be inconsistent and fickle, their current path will change in a few months time (hopefully a positive change from the pressure and actions of fans). It is about time they were under a lot more pressure from supporters. Nobody can argue that the majority of supporters have been reasonable and demonstrated patience these past 5 years. Lerner has gotten away with bad decision after bad decision, it has to be challenged now. I urge everybody to take part if they can. This is only the beginning, we can get the club back on a competitive footing by taking collective action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanBalaban Posted February 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2016 The fact that the club seem so complacent that very few will walk out makes me want this to be a success even more. I think the parallels between Everton and Villa highlight how bad a job Randy has done, with half of Everton having been valued at more than our entire club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this protest leads to action and doesn't end as just a voicing of discontent. UTV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the players will dare do a lap around the pitch after the final home game but it usually gives fans a chance to hang around after the final whistle so chant about Lerner then.

If I wasn't working until relatively later on in the day I would have offered to leaflet but I just won't be at the ground much before kick off. Some of the posts (no names) really annoyed me. "It would be much better if..", just shows a complete lack of disregard to the organisers of this movement. THEY got off their asses to organise this and the best some people can do is moan on a forum how it won't be as good as a half arsed thought they had. Well done all. See you on the way out during the 74th minute! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager says he is working 24/7 on a miracle escape from the drop but faces ‘Out the Door on 74’ minutes demo during Tuesday's home game with Everton 1SHARE COMMENTS Subscribe Getty Second city shambles: Villa are adrift at bottom of table Remi Garde says he is having sleepless nights as he tries to halt Aston Villa’s slide into the Championship. Villa are eight points from safety with 11 games to go, and boss Garde says he is working 24/7 to engineer a miraculous escape. “I’m trying to analyse what I have to do and what I can change,” he said. “Between games, I’m not sleeping very well, as you can guess. I’m trying to do my best in my position.” Garde refuses to take any time off and analysed Villa’s defeat at Stoke on Saturday to figure out how to improve them ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Everton. In pictures - Stoke 2-1 Aston Villa VIEW GALLERY “I don’t go to the theatre or cinema or anything like that,” said the Frenchman. “I’m watching football at night to see how we can score goals and not concede any. “I’m fully focused on the job. When that’s not the case, I’m not in football anymore. I’ve done so already and when I’m in the job, I’m focused on the job, 100 per cent.” Read more: 10 things we learned from this last Premier League weekend Villa fans have had enough and the ‘Out the Door on 74’ campaign group are planning a walk-out in the 74th minute of Tuesday’s game at Villa Park in protest at owner Randy Lerner. Watch — The 'Out the Door on 74' campaign's call to action: CLICK TO PLAY Play 0:00 / 0:00 Fullscreen Mute Share Garde is focused on events on the pitch and insists he is still fighting. “My intention is not to leave the job until I’m told to do so,” he said. “I know it’s a difficult situation, but in football, in life, you have situations that you have to cope with. But I’m strong enough to do so. Read more: Stoke official Twitter account trolls Joleon Lescott over THAT tweet “It’s a tremendously important game for us in midweek and picking up the three points is vital for us. We will need the perfect game defensively and then we will need to be more threatening offensively. “Hope is still there for us. I spoke to the players and the minimum is keeping the spirit and improving on the field.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted February 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2016 Off to bed now. Can I just thank every single fan on here who takes part. We've all suffered the same over the past few years - and standing up isn't easy. When Villa is like a drug, admitting it is bad for you is sometimes a hard step to take. They've driven me down and I have been in an awful mood for too long. I've spent hours on here being so frustrated and fed up with things. This isn't the Villa I know and love. This is OUR chance to take something back. To send a message. To create a movement. To be part of a brighter tomorrow. To share our anger. To show them WE WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS... not for one second longer. So for those who stand up and walk out, thank you for siding with myself and others who have had enough of this tyranny. Who have had enough of the poor running of the club. Who have had enough of the bullshit, the lies, the propaganda, the destruction and slaughter of this great football club. That beautiful shirt, that history, that club. It has brought us together and that is together through thick and thin. To stand up and say NO. So thank you for walking out and sending the message so clear. We are the fans. We are what makes Aston Villa. We will take no more bullshit from you. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 As I said im fully behind this, I will even walk out of work when it hits 74 minutes on Flashscore. the club are being ridiculously arrogant about this and hopefully this makes back pages and gives the senior management a red face 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Good luck. This has come an awfully long way in a short space of time and I can't imagine what it's taken to make that happen. Very impressive, and I'll be with you all the way. Except I won't. But you know what I mean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
