sne Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 To get this going again, as I hope you will. I am certain the best way got get people on board is to get the disgraceful scenes at Villa part out to every possible outlet. The girl and her father being thrown out by Fox's henchmen, the Lerner out and OTDO74 banners confiscated and the latest video of the stewards wrestling the Get the Fox out banner from the fans. All of these stories makes my blood boil, as it should ever Villa fan. Use these images to rile people on and they will follow you out on 74 against Chelsea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didiersix Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That's the narrative in my opinion. The club are trying to straitjacket fans, forbid them from any show of dissent. It's a good story and the media will love it. And to be honest, there is nothing that makes me want to protest more than being told I can't protest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can find NOTHING in the clubs rules prohibiting people from displaying messages however they see fit, as long as they are within the law and inoffensive. As in no swears.

Popular Post Didiersix Posted March 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2016 If you want a very visual, simple way of protesting get fans to tape their mouths with 'Lerner Out' written on it.. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I don't remember the stewards behaving like this when we were trying to get Doug out. Is this the agency staff that have replaced half of the sacked stewards? Because, you know, nothing screams "this is an awesome club" to tourists and away fans more than a club with absolutely no staff that actually support the club they work at.

Risso Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Good response and a much better article. Lessons learned, time to move on. Well done all. That beach ball protest looked effective though. Very simple, but visually effective and held the game up for a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Great response in that article lads. Really reflects will on you who are organising it and goes along way to getting myself and others back on board. Really well written. I even think that the article coupled with the clubs/stewards behaviour if anything has made you look better following the postponement. Get back on it! It's clear now more than ever. No more taking the foot off the gas. No more postponements. It's clear what the club thinks of the fans. Mike, why have you left the group? Will they still be able to get the same kind of exposure as around the Everton match without you? As long as you know that no one who cares about OtDo'74 ever doubted your hard work or belief.

That is a far stronger anti-Lerner message than anything the fans could have come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned our lesson Ingram, the hard way. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
