Supervillan78 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) For me it's not a question of supporting the team, we can still do that and walk out on 74! The walkout is designed to show our distain for the way in which the club is being run and for the people that are running it. Good luck tonight guys, cant be with you in person but will be walking out with you in spirit.

Wainy316 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Any word on expected attendance? Obviously it will be more effective if the ground is already covered in empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 39 minutes ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: 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... our supports done so well so far hasnt it? keep burying your heads in the sand and this madness will continue. the protest your making gets most of VT support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Can't be there tonight but as a show of solidarity a shall be turning off my stream on 74! Good luck to all going ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 73% of The Mirrors poll are in favour! 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.

Lomaski Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am fully behind the walkout but it seems that everything is conspiring against us currently. Now its the fixtures. The impact that a walkout will have will be massively diluted by the fact that in each of the 3 games in question (Everton,Chelsea and Tottenham) we will be at least 2 if not more down by the 74th minute. If we were playing Bournemouth for example, there is a reasonable chance that we would still be very much in the game, thus I believe that walking out at that point would have considerably more impact. For many watching, they will just assume its a bunch of bad losers going home as the scoreline won't be pleasant reading by then in any of the next 3 home games. Oh well, such is life!

The media are on to it. They'll report it correctly I'm sure. People have worked hard behind the scenes to make sure of that and will continue to do so. I get your point though. Listen, no matter what happens you're never going to please 100% of the people even 1% of the time. I reckon if we're winning tonight only a handful well follow through. But maybe that it's gotten this far will inspire the next crew to have a crack, or this one to have another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I really thought the game was on TV tonight! I know I can stream it but hoped it would be on Sky or BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Won't be there tonight for obvious reasons but good luck to all involved. The campaign has won me over with the dedication and hard work of everybody. Lets hope this is the beginning for of something big with regards to turning our fantastic club around.

HanoiVillan Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks very much to those in this thread who have shown their support. It's been encouraging to read increasingly positive posts over the last ten days. Can I ask a favour for those fans who maybe aren't going tonight, but believe in and support this protest? If you have a Twitter account, please consider sending a positive tweet with the hashtag #OutTheDoorOn74, expressing your support for this action. At the moment, our social media feed is topped by a few posts expressing their disagreement with the protest. It would be nice to have a number of positive tweets of encouragement, to help persuade those wavering and as a show of solidarity for those who have worked so hard behind the scenes to make this happen tonight (and I DON'T include myself in that, but I have seen first hand the effort that a dozen or so of our members have put into this, and it hasn't been a small job). Thank you for your support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks to everyone for the support. It's not about the guys and girls behind the scenes though, it's about YOU. It's about YOUR CLUB. Villa Till I Die. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 1, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2016 Best of luck tonight lads. I've just tweeted some positivity Everton tends to be a high attendance every season although Tuesday eveings tend not to be great. We've only had the one this season and it's our lowest league attendance of the season by some margin (28,245 v Palace, next up is Norwich on a Saturday at 3pm @ 32,472). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
