Very similar to the 'Be the 12th Man' campaign started by Ryan Griffiths:

I'm on board. Everyone needs to put aside their differences and grievances with the club for the next 12 games. We can get back to all of that in earnest in the summer once our safety has been secured. Relegation is unthinkable and unacceptable. Let's pull together.
-
YAY!

Go 12th Man!!
Buy Tickets, Buy more Tickets.
Evening, Fox. You've been rumbled.

I wonder if the English ever tire of cynicism?
There is naught else to do but stand firm and get behind them. The best atmosphere we have had at Villa Park in years was against Sunderland and the players responded. We might as well see if we can inspire the same again.
-
Indeed need 100% support now.

did it really surprise you though we couldn't go more than two posts on what was meant to be a positive thread without someone being cynical? There is a lot of places to go on H&V to be miserable/cynical/skeptical. It's like a virus and even well intentioned threads are invaded.

As always!
Come on you Villa boys!

F**k 'em.
Just a thought.

This is what we need, the power of collective positivity !!

So true. I will never forget that night, we were immense and so were the team. Particularly remember Lowton being absolutely unstoppable.
-
From a few years ago. Someone with better skills than me needs to make a new one.
-
Thank you. I had loads of stuff like this from the original 12th Man campaign. Pics, vids, text. No idea where I saved them all.
-
Tommy dochertys said that if you hung out 11 villa shirts to dry on a Sunday after the game 10,000 fans would turn up just to watch them dry.
That's how big this club is well come on then let's show the bleeding world that we are a big club and roar the lads on remember hull last season when we needed 3 points atmosphere was awesome when hull came back to 2-1 we stayed with the lads and the twelfth Man was there .
Also bring the balloons with you like we did in the 70s who can remember saints away in f.a. Cup 3rd round when game was delayed because of all the balloons on the pitch that's what we want back at villa.
Let's roar us to safety and dump those stripey shites out of the f.a. Cup to
For all of you that never went to Rotterdam well this can be YOUR ROTTERDAM

I'm in, where do I sign

2 pages in and no one's posted the Al Pacino speech?

I'm up for the fight. Count me in.

I always figure that the more shit we are the more the club needs me.

Let's rumble
-
Let's do it. Negativity is the enemy in this situation, especially when there's so much still to play for. If anyone from the Club is reading this thread, if there's any way you could get Peter McParland in to chat to the players prior to the FA Cup match, all the better. Former players, staff and supporters, let's all pull together and lift this great old club up the table and onwards to Wembley. Believe in the power of The Villa.
-
Don't worry, I'll be at the Baggies' games to add some much needed grumbles and muted appreciation.
-
I fear that we will only see the '12th man' level of support for the last home game or 2 of the season. There's still 3 months left and a lot of people aren't going to buy tickets until they either see an improvement or it gets to crunch time, as it stands the Baggies league game is under 30k.
-
It would be nice if Lerner lead by example and showed up for the last 12 games .
-
Him being there makes no difference to me. It's us being there that matters. We were there before him and we'll still be there after. VTID

Disagree. I think his prescence would be of help in the run in.
-
Help who? Does he start the Trinity Massive singing?

That'd be a first, the Trinity singing. I think the sound of their tutting and rustling of tartan blankets usually drowns out the Holte......
-
Oh for the days of the Trinty Road feet stamping.
-
Blankets rustling ? What are you smoking
-
Well, if last week's cup final was anything to go by then there's no point attempting to proceed in the FA Cup. Joking aside, I'm praying for some sort of result to bring back some hope.
-
I think you gradually get sucked in. You make the champions league and people wouldn't baulk at £50-60 a ticket , then £70, £75 etc etc.
-
It would be nice if Lerner lead by example and showed up for the last 12 games .
Getting his ass in a seat pitch side down with the fans like Tony Fernandes did would be nice.
Sure they went down anyway but it was a good gesture.

Exactly . We are in this together right ? If we go down we all go together side by side. Likewise if we stay up we all party like it's 1999.

Yup. He might even discover he enjoys it and Villa fans actually want him to succeed.
-
So is Lerner the 12th man then?
-
I think Lerner would gain some respect if he made it to the last 12 games .
It's the least he owes us all.
-
Oh for the days of the Trinty Road feet stamping.
That was ace wasn't it?
You even got it at reserve team fixtures!
-
Oh for the days of the Trinity Road feet stamping.
Concrete's too quiet, just bloody hurts after a while.
-
Given our lack of backbone we'd be better off telling the players we have 11 friendlies, just go out there and play with no pressure. I couldn't see them getting a win in one cup final, never mind winning several.

Did you see us in any of the pre season games? We were crap
-
I suppose we need to change the number in the title to 11

Have you seen us in any of our League games? We are crap ( winky thing!)
Maybe we should ask to play our remaining "cup finals" at Anfield?
-
The fat lady hasn't sung yet folks
-
Why does this thread remind me of green bottles...
-
Project forward our last 11 results and all this cup final bollocks is futile
-

Still 12. Don't forget the FA cup final!
-
Might be slightly mad , might still be a bit pissed from last night but, I think we have turned a corner and will win our next 4 games.
-
Oh SV , darling, I never knew this side of you?
-
The rate things are going it will be 9 or 10 `cup finals`and we will already be down before the last day of the season.
If you offered me now that we could go into the last game against Burnley needing a draw to stay up I would take it.

Bit early to be on the Buckfast isn't it old bean?
-
We need a catalyst and winning a derby game and getting some confidence back is he best way to do it. Win both derby games and Sil maybe be right.
-
When was last time we beat a pulis side?
-
Lambert's first season with a 3-1 victory at Stoke.
-
I suppose we need to change the number in the title to 11
And "Cup Finals" to "League Games".

We would stay up then

Oh arr yeah. Soz

He will be at least half right.

We'll give it a shot (if only)

Bon Jovi are one of the few things on earth more shit than this current Villa team, that's for sure.
-
I've got a really good feeling about us pulling off a win tomorrow. And that's not like me.
-

Bon Jovi would give Small Heath a run for their money in the shitness stakes.

"Obviously I couldn't make the game today Tom, what with the docks being on strike."
-
Bon Jovi have played at Villa Park more recently than Blues
-
A lot of doom and gloom at the moment. This week could be transformative if the results go our way.
Equally if they do not it will be a pretty big blow.
I have just seen the weekend highlights and it looked encouraging.

I could hear them in my moms back garden 16 miles away.
Or was that Springsteen ?
