David Gold's car attacked outside the King Edward.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He should have waited another 30 minutes ? He probably left after the main crowds had cleared. Someone earlier on in this thread said they were chatting to him in the lounge after the game. Assuming you know the exact location we are talking about he could have possibly come through a minute earlier and the lights were on green and none of this would have occured. In fact, if he had come through 30 minutes later the same morons would probabaly have still been at the pub, more tanked up and even more irresponsible.
But again, are we suggesting anybody should not only have to plan their route away from VP to avoid trouble but now work within certain time constraints ?

The problem on Saturday Aston Hall Rd was open to traffic in both directions after the game it was total gridlock normally the old bill shut it going towards Villa Park it took me 55 mins to get out of the small Official Villa car park that's why he got caught up in traffic because the babylon didn't bother to close the road. Everyone comes out of the main car park AV Leisure centre and use both lanes once they hit the railway bridge they encountered traffic coming towards them and they we're boxed in cars we're mounting pavements and all sorts it was a nightmare.

Perhaps his choice of vehicle and Personalised number plates could have been better?Not exactly trying to mingle, was he?

Yeah, how dare he, ey? He's a grade A clown, but NOTHING justifies what happened, no matter how hard you try to find something.

Not for one moment saying it does justify it, But in a crowd of thousands, many of whom have been drinking there will always be a couple of idiots who will be prone to do this sort of thing, particularly given the history. I Just feel his choice of vehicle, personalised number plates etc make him stand out more and therefore an easier target and Gold has shown amazing naivety considering his years in the game.

where was his 5k reward to find the cretins who pummelled villa fans in the sty car park a few years back?

[pauliewalnuts]

Talking of getting caught at traffic lights by the KE, I noticed after the match that they allowed two way traffic down there and had the lights operational at the end of the game.

Why do they randomly do this? It creates absolute havoc for traffic departing the game. Make it one way and just have a copper standing at the traffic light and it is miles quicker.

And Gold wouldn't have got caught there and said moron wouldn't have been able to bottle his car ;-)

Are there any other eyewitness reports that this actually happened? Because I wouldn't believe a word this fucking self-publicising Lupine gobshite has ever uttered.

I mean, what kind of eejit gets a bottle thrown at their car and hopes somebody else reports it to the Police?

[Pete3206]

Whatever a man's choice of car, licence plate number, etc, he should be able to travel down a public road without having objects thrown at him.

Yeah, we were outside.  He pulled up at the lights, nobody clocked him at first. Cue the 'waving and smiling' once everybody did.

His chauffeur then sped off and pulled up in to Power League to inspect the damage.

He reported it to The Sun newspaper, what more do you want?


You can also clearly see the car was bleeding from the photograph



People need to realise that needles of glass could have gone into his head and killed him ffs.

I've tried to find Gold's comments related to the five hours of violence at the West Ham v Millwall game inside at outside his stadium, including stabbings and people being pelted with bricks whilst prone on the ground. I haven't been able to find them but I'm sure they would be consistent and proportionate with his comments about these Villa monsters.

Gobshite? Eejit? When did you turn into a paddy Maz?

The tight bastard couldn't even stretch to the latest Wairstairm shirt?

My entire family is Irish. I'm the first generation born in England for a long time.
I am descended from James Butler, the Duke of Ormond and cousin to Anne Boleyn though. So maybe a bit of English in there too. Royal, of course. *snooty face*

[sendô WHU]

It's all a bit MIllwall this.

He should have waited another 30 minutes before leaving B6 though ..... it is a bit stupid leaving the ground in his Roller when the fans are.

Given our performance, he was probably eager to get going asap. I know I would be.

On a side note I do wish the two of them would stop putting West Ham shirts on every single time they address the media.

If that's the worst thing Gollivan do from here on in, consider yourself very lucky indeed!

[Clampy]

If he'd been straight on the phone to the local Police rather than Fleet Street arranging for a photographer to meet him at his Mansion, i might have a tad bit more sympathy.
