Fans being in the ground and cheering the players on hasn't done the opposite very often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NulliSecundus Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Covered in The Business Desk today (a free news website for business in the West Midlands, although you have to register. Link. To save you a sign up..... Quote Aston Villa fans plan to show contempt for board with match walkout 1st March 2016 inShare Share: By Duncan Tift - Deputy Editor, West Midlands Villa Park THINGS go from bad to worse for Aston Villa, with a group of disgruntled supporters planning a walk-out at tonight’s game against Everton in protest against the way the club is being run. The supporters are due to stage their walkout in the 74th minute of the game – the time chosen to reflect the year the club was founded in 1874. Further walkouts are being planned for the following two home games. The club currently finds itself bottom of the Premier League with just 16 points –eight points from safety - and relegation looking inevitable. The protest is the idea of Villa supporter Mark Bricknell, who was quoted on Sky Sports News as saying the club’s support was now down to its hardcore fans. He claimed thousands of fans had turned their back on the club and were angered by the approach taken by owner Randy Lerner and his board, which is now chaired by former KPMG Midlands chairman Steve Hollis with former Bank of England governor Mervyn King as a non-executive director. Mr Bricknell said the protest was intended to demonstrate distain for the club’s lack of direction and ambition, which has culminated in this year’s embarrassing performance. Mr Bricknell and his supporters say they were inspired by the recent protests at Liverpool where fans walked out of a home game against Sunderland in the 77th minute to protest about ticket prices. That had the effect of persuading the Liverpool board to scrap plans for a proposed price increase. In the case of Villa, fans hope it will prompt the board to adopt a more positive attitude going forward, although most have resigned themselves to watching Championship football next season. Well done lads. Also to echo what was said earlier, I can also lend a hand for the other two games if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally you want the third to go in just before the clock hits 74 as many may have already gone otherwise. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love us to be 2-0 up, STILL 10,000 people walk out and we go on to win the game! Perhaps a tad unrealistic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'd like to think people will wait until the 74th minute even if we are already 12-0 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I see some fans have divided already. Claiming anyone who walks out is not "supporting the team". You know, because the team are separate from the club obviously. The main argument appears to centre around "making the Holte End roar". Isn't that the responsibility of the team? As long as respect is shown both ways... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2016 We've been supporting the team all season and it's made **** all difference. In fact, the biggest response seemed to be when the fans made it quite clear they weren't happy. it's funny that a boycott seems to be acceptable by most, but walking out after more than three quarters of the game doesn't. Surely the latter is more supportive than the former? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
