If, for example, we's appointed Martinez instead do you think the crowd would have been significantly higher?Probably yes.Look how many fans wanted Houllier out and we still got 37,000 against Wolves.How many of those bought season tickets when O'Neill was in charge and everything in the garden was looking rosy?

Just come back from the pub. Had a few jars with a baggies mate who lives in Handsworth Wood. Told me that he's had a leaflet through his door offering him a ticket for the Newcastle game for £10. It was to be expected, but the bastard threw it in his bin. When I asked if he could fish it out he said no, the binmen have been. Some bloody mate.

I've had a Baggies mate claiming Villa are no longer a big club based on attendance and spending, we are on level with the likes of Stoke and our attendences are lower because of the drifting football supporting fans now have other Premier League teams to watch in the Midlands...oh yeah, and apparently Villa fans dont know the first thing about football (this was a quote from some pundit on WM or Talkshite). You know what they say about trying to win an argument with idiots.

Isn't there something of a contradiction between you in one breath saying you're not going to go down and support your club all season because you don't like the manager, and then going on about what shit fans Albion are (or indeed what a shit fan anybody is, for that matter)?Pot, kettle.

Sorry black country villa I don't think you're repeating yourself enough. Are you saying Mcleish is responsible for the poor crowds so far this season?
I dunno but I think it's pretty poor how we've only sold 20,000 season tickets this season.Even Norwich have sold more season tickets than us
