Anyway, I wonder if it was the same bar where I stumbled out and fell down the stairs after slurping all their Anima Negra tinto.

Yeah,i should imagine that being chauffuer driven to every game,never paying for a ticket,sitting in the best seats in the house every week,and knowing he's made a massive profit on his original investment must be hard on him

Fuck his commitment,i reckon my 300 mile round trip to a home game outdoes that old scroat

Whatever he's done is all in the past. The mans Villa through and through and you simply can't question his dedication to our club.

Agreed.

In my 50 odd years of following the Villa, there have been times when Doug has been [in my view] a cross between the Devil incarnate and Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Today he is an elderly man who gets by extremely well for his age, I hope I am visiting Restraunts at the age of 87.
He is also showing his love of A,V.which despite my early views,I guess can not be challenged.
Get well and keep well Doug.

I hope this is not a prematue Eulogy

Fair play to him at his age to be still getting to the games, he had his faults but was nowhere near as bad as some portray- I wish him all the best and thank him for his efforts for our club.

Ahhh bless you.
Is it because he's 87 or because your the self appointed "voice"of villa fans that makes you post that

It's *you're* as in, 'you are'. Please get this right or Bad English will garrote a kitten.

When did Woodhall start speaking for us all anyway? Doesn't he just flog a fanzine to away punters who think its a programme?

:P

I won't go the revisionist route and say Herbert is great and did well for us, but I still think he's a Villa man at heart otherwise he'd have cashed in and we would never have seen him at Villa Park again.
I think it's a bit distasteful of anybody wishing ill towards him.

If somebody is going to talk for me, it needs to be with a clipped Etonian accent, not an unitelligible Tipton drawl.

Not just away punters. Home ones as well.

This sums up my feelings on the subject:

Whatever Ellis's ways, means or judgements, he remains a Villa man and anyone travelling up and down to watch them - free ticket or not - at 87 years of age, deserves respect.

There is no point having bile / hate toward Doug Ellis. We know he love Aston Villa and tried his best whatever his decisions or policy are popular or unpopular.

For someone who recently trousered the best part of £30m, to be spending a Saturday afternoon in Liverpool watching Villa this season at 87 years old shows he's either completely wacko or has a deep affection for the club. I think we all now its the latter
