This club represents England's second city

Does it?

The fans come first, not the city of Birmingham.

Maybe this time they'll upgrade from protest messages on A4 sheets of paper to A3.

good luck to them, at least they are trying to do something,

 the majority of people on here want AM gone and think he is taking the club backwards, but will only moan on the internet about it,
 the protesters will be derided as usual, re bed sheets, A4 bits of paper, spotty teenagers etc, but the fact of the matter is they are only saying out loud what we are posting on this site.

'the club wont listen its pointless' argument is because there wont be many of them, if there was 20000 they would, believe me they would soon sit up and take notice.
i am just as bad, as i have given up on attending VP as its not what i want to watch, its not done as a protest more out of boredom and frustration, but thats just me.

We will soon have more protest groups than the F.A. have committees. I reckon that until the Dalai Lama openly comes out and backs Randy, Paul and Alex we will continue to see these protests.

You can moan and groan as much as you like about AM Lerner will ignore it as long as it doesn't affect attendences, if you really want McCleish out a couple of empty Villa Parks with the threat of more to come would do the trick. No gain without pain.

I'm with John E on this. I think a protest now is fair enough.  When the last one happened it was at a time when it looked as if McFeck had changed his ways.  He's since reverted to type more than once and the future looks bleak under him.  It's easy to say these things are pointless, but it's the apathy as much as anything that reduces their effect.  If several thousand turned up instead of saying there's no point, then it would have an impact and there would be a point. What's more "damaging to the club"  not attending games at all and denying them much needed income, or turning up, telling the owners/manager very loudly they need to respectively, get their heads out of their arses / fuck off, and then getting behind the team for the game?

Tony Cascarino has warned Aston Villa they are facing a fans’ revolt.
 
The Midlands giants are 15th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the bottom three, but have won just two league games in 2012.
 
And Cascarino admits the club’s supporters are fed up with the situation, particularly following last weekend’s dismal display in a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.

The fans are just numb. They’re waiting for something to happen but the club is in limbo at the moment— Tony Cascarino

 
The former Villa striker told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: “I was at the Emirates on Saturday and Villa were awful. They never looked like scoring. I was amazed how poor they were.
 
“The frustration spilled over, and the Villa fans didn’t chant once. They are just numb. They’re waiting for something to happen but the club is in limbo at the moment.
 
“The die-hard Villa fans are not happy with what’s happening.
 
“It’s a really strange time for the club. I’d be amazed if season tickets sales don’t suffer disastrously because of what’s happening this year.
 
“Sales will be well down if the fans aren’t looking forward to next season. But they’re dreading it.”

Are you reading Mr Faulkner.

Completely pointless. The protests need to be aimed directly at Lerner, a man who for reasons only known to himself has decided to inflict on us supporters 2 seasons of abject mediocrity and given no reason for us to believe that the future under him will see any improvement.

This club represents England's second city and as such deserves better.

???

Aston Villa represents Aston Villa.

The last one was such a success and did everyone proud,so why not.
Was it?
I only ask as there was no one around when I turned up.
A mate, who's a steward said he heard them but it didn't sound as if there were many.

I cant stand Cascarino and thought he was shite for us but I know even at his age now , he would score more goals than Heskey up front.

I do think the crowds are going to be bad next season.
