Hercules (or was it Bella?) at the Everton game.

I don't know what happened in this case, but there's something sinister about the club clamping down on any dissent at Villa Park. They're not so quick to act when our name is being dragged through the shit in the media.

They aren't clamping down on any thing really. Another unfortunate press spin to kick us that everyone is ready to believe as they don't trust the board not to do anything that isn't the most appalling thing you can think up.

The actor who played Hercules back then used to post on H&V back in The Manilla Period.

Went by the name of Graham if the old synapses are firing correctly,  and had some kind of mobile food operation business.

Posted here as well before a ban for being an argumentative, racist, idiot if I recall correctly. Posted as Graham Poll.

Oh, right. I'm sure I read something on here about a fan being ejected for saying things to Fox, and others having banners taken off them.

The bloke at the front of the upper holte was giving it some.

He was an utter wanker. Look at me, I can shout something nasty when it is quiet.

Was he the bloke who threw his scarf on the pitch? Everyone in the Upper Holte was laughing at him - looked like a steward gave it him back...

She wasn't ejected for saying something rude to Fox and it wasn't at his request as was reported.

He had lon hair and was in the front row of the Upper, above where I sit.

He had a very loud, look at me, shouty moan the first time it went quiet after they took the lead. As some clapped him, he tried to perform the same trick every five minutes from there on out.

What was she ejected for? How about those fans having banners taken off them?

Gavin was his name of the old Hercules,and at the time he was a good mate of mine,same school,Sunday league,the Kingfisher in Great Barr etc.

He swore that he did absolutely nothing untoward to be hung out to dry,but his modus operandi was 6 pints in the Yew Tree prior to reporting for duty at 1400.He used to claim he required the hydration as the suit was ferkin hot.To be fair,he was absolutely fantastic at creating a little atmosphere.He ended up on TGI Friday's with Chris Evans at the culmination of the whole episode.

Bumped into him in the Trinity against Blues,He's still coming up from the Big Smoke for us to ruin his weekends.

I agree that it is unfortunate everyone believes the worst about the board but I'd say they've brought that turn of events on themselves to a large degree.

Exactly. This stuff is so believable for a reason.

Lee Preece would tell you a different story and their are two sides to every story.

The bigger problem is that their PR is piss poor and we have been so woefully mismanaged people just assume the worst. Which is understandable.
