That is such a brilliant yet simple idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At flashpoints like that it would be so satisfying to see him launched down the stairs face first, but you know it'd do more harm than good if it actually happened.

Paul33 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Not a fan of the original OTD74 protest because I couldn't truly identify with nor understand the goals but what I saw yesterday with the banners was absolutely 100% out of order and painful to watch. The response to have a banners out on 74 is totally spot on and I'm trying all I can to get over just to join in with that one!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably going to need hands again so if you want to really make it worth your while we would love that too. VTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Good decisions guys, good to know you learned from your mistakes (who hasn't made a mistake?) and you're going in firmer against these complete and utter cretins. You have my support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just a random idea, what about a T-shirt protest? Encourage everybody to wear an old white t shirt, with an anti-Lerner slogan drawn on the front, in big, black letters. These can then be taken off and held aloft during the game, and put back on if and when the clearing in the woods stewards come a calling. Stewards surely have no right to confiscate people's clothing? What about a theme like FRANKIE SAYS "LERNER OUT" FRANKIE SAYS "CONFISCATE THIS" FRANKIE SAYS "RIP AVFC 1874-2016" Or forget the Frankie says bit if you think that's a bit shit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already muted something like this mate as it is something that can't be confiscated like you say. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect at this club has clearly been a one way thing for far too long. I know one of the lads who was involved in the banner struggle through the protest movement. Everyone suffered yesterday no one less than those guys, our fellow supporters, this CANNOT go on. It's that simple. Thanks for your support bud. Don't stop, don't pause, don't hesitate. You can't show compassion or remorse. This does not stop until it has reach it's conclusion. We are going to ride this one out until the end. ...but seriously, people need to make a serious stand now. This is totally and utterly unacceptable.

rodders0223 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) First they came for those who confronted them , and I did not speak out— Because I was not a confrontationalist Then they came for the Banner Brigade, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Banner Holder Then they came for the chanters, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a chanter, Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Seriously, **** these mother****ers. This is OUR **** CLUB. *Not legally but in principle. Edited March 14, 2016 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fans-group-launch-11039204 Quote The Aston Villa fans group behind the 'Out the Door on '74' walkout have issued a statement calling for 'firmer action' after regretting their decision to cancel their protest yesterday. Fans, who staged a 74th minute walkout in the Villa Park defeat to Everton, chose not to demonstrate during the loss to Tottenham, in response to club legend Brian Little's return to the club as an advisor to the board. The group always intended to stage a walkout in the next home match against Chelsea a week on Saturday, but now they are urging fans to bring banners to the game. It follows angry scenes in the North Stand yesterday when a steward wrestled with fans who were displaying an anti-board banner. Also, Marky Mark is on Radio WM at 5.30pm if you guys fancy a listen. We will of course post it up again when available too, but he's much sexier live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
