Lets Form A New Club
« on: June 15, 2011, 04:53:24 PM »
AFC Small Heath Villa FC

Following both sets of fans from Villa and Blues being so upset with the powers that be at their clubs being so out of touch with the fans – do they care? It has been decided to form a new Club called AFC Small Heath Villa FC to represent our great City.

Therefore in the best traditions of football a meeting is to be held under a lamp post on the corner of Broad Street and Islington Row so if it rains we have plenty of Pubs to nip into in Broad Street at 8pm on Wednesday 15 June e.g. after the 6pm protest at Villa Park.

A stadium has already been secured for 2011/12 – well at least it’s not the pitch on the side of the hill at Billesley Common and a place in Division 8 of the Birmingham AFA. But this is just a start!

The 5 Year Plan:
Floodlights in our first season e.g. car owners will get 10% off their season ticket for parking around the pitch with full beam on.
Club colours claret and royal blue stripes shirts (short sleeved) and shorts, right sock claret left sock royal blue. No pink football boots or gloves allowed.
Seating for 250 by season 2, changing rooms will replace the cars for changing and showers to replace the buckets of cold water.
Further ground improvements to bring the stadium up to Conference level.
To reach the Conference by 2016/17 (a choice of a tour of York Cathedral or Nestles factory before the match at York City’s KitKat Stadium is already in the pipeline, Mansfield Town – a trip down a mine – we know what our fans want) where within two years we expect to get promoted to the Football League otherwise the Manager will be sacked.

Rules:
No Yank or Chinese owners or indeed any foreign owners who don’t understand our culture. Club to be owned by the fans for the fans but if the local butcher, baker or candle stick maker wants to put in a billion that’s fine.
All sackings/resignations to be done face to face – emails are banned.
No former players, managers, directors from local rivals
No Prima donnas
All transfers to Man Utd banned.
Sky TV banned
No kissing the badge - actually badges on our shirts will be banned cause we won’t have a badge.
A ladies section will be formed to be managed by Alex Mcleish although this won’t be until 2012/13 season as he will be jumping up and down on the side line at an empty Villa Park for 2011/12 before he resigns by email due to stress.

A volunteer is required to take the minutes of the first meeting please.

 All apologies to be emailed to the Chairman, Peter Pan at BCFC

I've often thought what would happen if a lot of local people pissed off with modern football formed a new club along the lines of AFC Liverpool, but not from just one set of supporters.

On a serious note, in the latest issue of WSC a Chelsea fan reminisces as to how his football-supporting experience has changed in the quarter of a century that the magazine has been published.  I found his closing paragraph striking a deep resonance with me and how I have felt about top flight football for some considerable time.

"Perhaps most fans do measure satisfaction with their club solely by success on the field.  If so, the Abramovich model will suit them fine.  Nor is it obvious what realistic ownership alternatives exist at the top level.  But maybe I'm not the only one who would swap all the silverware for even a hint of what Wimbledon have created."

You'll be lucky to find any Birmingham City supporters that will be clever enough to understand any of your suggestions.

I've often wondered what it would be like to live in a one club town say like Newcastle or Stoke. I know they all manage to find a "local" rival but on Saturday night when you're out nearly everybody is gonna support the same team. No banter, jealousy, hatred or mickey taking. Probably better in some ways but worse in others.
PS:- I know Stoke have got Port Vale but you know what I mean

I know the OP is tongue in cheek, but it's not the worst idea I've ever heard.
Have a bit more ambition, secure a groundshare initially and aim for West Mids or Mid Comb and it could be a goer.

There's not enough really pissed off people yet and most of those who are are utter numpties of course, but if the clubs keep pissing off the hardcore support?

I reckon you could get forty or fifty, which is enough to start off in the Midland Com, where support usually consists of players' families and groundhoppers.

Bromsgrove Villa, I like the sound of that.
