Chicken Field Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Great protests (bar cheering Hutton which I did not understand), worked very well, Danish coverage was also giving it a lot of attention and sympathizing with us. But as Lerner is trying to sell us, we have a whole new board and no manager I would start aiming the protests at they players now ! get them all out of here !

Jareth Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Lovely protest that. Anything to embarass the Lerner family into hurrying up a sale the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get a new manager who will then focus on the playing staff which we cannot do nothing about to the summer so why protest about them It has been 4 years and only now once we are relegated and after we get some positivity with the new board we protest, it is a reactive protest not a proactive, the club and fans have been reactive the last few years that is why we have struggled The new board and the media know we are in a mess we dont need to protest about, it just makes other fans laugh at us, Just forgot about the rest season nothing we do is going to change anything, just wait till the summer I agree with the points you make about the changes. I think Lerner has in effect gone and we have a good set of competent people in charge now, and the time will come when people need to see that. BUT - little has actually happened yet, no money has been committed, no promises given, no players booted out, and no plan for the future outlined comprehensively. Allied to that the performances from the players are dreadful. As such, the banners about the right to display banners certainly made sense, and the "Proud History What future" are relevant now and for the foreseeable future, almost as a challenge, a question, from the fans that they want answering. Why on earth do you think other fans laugh at us ? Because of what I see as the 'new start' I wouldn't protest myself, but there is still reason to see why people do.

lmarsha_926 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 All I said was we protest now once we are relegated also the next game is Acorns day which should not be a time for protest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No protest against Bournemouth for Acorns Day if you go enjoy the day, lets make it a party. Give your money to Acorns It should be about them not our poor excuse of a football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked a treat and was shown on BT Sport several times I thought BT over exaggerated it to be honest , but maybe it looked bigger in the flesh than it did on TV liked the paper aeroplanes though , think that's the way forward , launch 20,000 planes on the pitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted April 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2016 Just back. It went fantastically well. We handed out 5000 banners before the game and a lot also bought their own. Thanks to those that helped us today. Going forward we intend to build on this now but I got to be honest we need more people stepping forward to help. This is pretty much a handful of people running this protest and at times it is hard. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Well done to everyone involved today and in the work that wen't in before. Was pretty visual and looked nice on the telly. I think I'm at the point that I wan't to see a stay away from Villa park protest. As Bournemouth is Acorns day? and Newcastle is the last opportunity we'll have to watch Villa at home in the PL for as long as Lerner is the owner, it should be against Southampton. I know many already have tickets and season cards but staying away from that game in large numbers would be a good protest. A half empty stadium or if possible below 20k would be eerie Edited April 2, 2016 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus has to be on more than just Lerner. He's to blame but so too are many of the words removed we have playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Very well done today lads, loads and loads of coverage on the TV and BBC website etc, and as the above photographs demonstrate, the mess left on the pitch was a very visible reminder of the fans' unhappiness. Do not let up now, you have our full support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
