The symbolism of walking out on the 74th minute would be lost on most non-Villa people and, if we're losing, wouldn't look much different to how many left after Liverpool's 5th went in on 65 minutes last Sunday. To make a real impact we should all walk out at half time

Well done to them. Better than being completely shafted and taking it bent over asking for more please sir.

That's a nice atttitude to have towards anyone who doesn't agree with you.

What has my opinions on the Villa farce got to do with the Liverpool protest? Stop looking for squabbles.

I'm not looking for squabbles, I'm disagreeing with your attitude towards supporters. If you don't like it, don't post.

You disagree that it's better to make a stand when during an unprecedented period of huge TV rights clubs are trying to put ticket prices up even though we are already have the most expensive tickets in the world?

If you want to do something, fine. If you don't there are many reasons why you might choose not to, without being accused of the childishness you came out with.

A protest especially on a Game televised on SKY makes sense.

But what about if we beat Stoke and are winning 1-0 against Everton with 74 minutes to go? It wouldn't seem right to walk out then.

I think we should save any protests of this nature until we're mathematically relegated.

I do understand the desire to protest in some way, but the Villa's woes - and the reasons for them - are well known by now and don't really need highlighting. As for actually changing anything... What's to change? Lerner wants out anyway and the transfer window's long shut.
The Everton game's only the second one I'll have been able to go to this season, so I won't be walking out!

People just don't think things through. Trying to get Villa fans to do anything en mass is like herding cats, so a walkout will be a bad idea. But, yet again, this thread illustrates perfectly the lack of unity among Villa fans. On that score, Lerner couldn't have picked a better club to run into the ground.

You broke the rhyming scheme.

It isn't on Sky is it?

Norwich-Chelsea is the live game.
