lmarsha_926 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 You are desperate to think this will change anything, The board have not cared for years a walk out in a meaningless game as we are going down anyway wont change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted March 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2016 Loved the countdown and certainly felt like a decent amount left. Fair play lads, proud to have joined in and hope you keep the fight going. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what next we can protest all we want but only a takeover will get Lerner out. Cost cutting will happen due to relegation this was 4 months too late. Unless you have some money to buy the club it will stay the same, look at the last 4 years Edited March 1, 2016 by lmarsha_926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 yep, heard the countdown, and when the cameras panned on to the crowd and it was noticeable people were leaving (i.e. not just a handful that were hard to spot). also mentioned on sky that people were leaving pretty decent outcome i think given its only been a week or two since organizing the walkout started 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't think, really, there was ever any real hope of making a difference. It's just a gesture. Making it clear, for some people, that they aren't happy. Little else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dounavilla Posted March 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have to agree a lot of putting down of this protest without any alternative ideas being offered up. Pathetic really. If you don't agree fine but don't put down the great efforts some have made to try to change things for the better at our club. Massive well done to all that left. Onwards we go !!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well done to the organisers. Its a good start now hopefully the movement will be even bigger for the next home game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That went as good (or bad) as expected, although I was hoping for more. Doubt it will work better next time. Think more and more people will do their protest in the form of staying home. Hope to see more banners from those who do choose to show up. Not be surprised to see figures in the low 20's come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Seem to be a lot that left when I looked down witton lane. Well done to the organisers, another shambles served up by the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2016 This is just the start. No empty promises, no false starts. All the way. We want our Villa back. We are GETTING OUR VILLA BACK. To the bitter, beautiful end... Lerner out. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If I were there I'd have left on 74, for what little good it would have done. I applaud those trying to do something to make a difference. Normally I would accept the reason not to leave, ie I want to support the players. But frankly they are garbage and they don't try hard enough. We're already relegated so supporting the team for an extra 16 minutes will make no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the effort of all those involved. Whether it has an effect or not. Die for something or live for nothing a great man once said. John Rambo I believe.

OutByEaster? Posted March 1, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2016 I left. Admittedly I've got an early start and need to be up at four, but I left nonetheless and felt better for it. A huge well done to Mike and Dave and everyone else involved in organising and publicising this - I reckon 2,500-3,000 people left which when you consider that there were 26,000 fans in Villa areas and that a fair few of them were football tourists, I think is enough to have some impact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
