Franks astonishingly bought up the asset stripping call tonight and asked for other people's views.

Which is heading into libel territory if the club were bothered.

[Chris Harte]

If that station is that bad I don't think I'd have returned.

Edit, for glaring typo.

[Stirchley Villain]

Franksy then 'put it out there'

'Does anyone else agree with Eddie that Villa Park, Bodymoor Heath, the players, the staff and indeed the club will be closed in the summer?'  'Call us now.'

If that happened, imagine the crowds FC Aston Villa would get in the Midland Football League...

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll be supporting FC AVFC FC.

If BMH is sold, do you think someone like Gabby (longest serving) will appear on an updated History dvd to say 'we had a lovely training pitch, beautiful bowling green and five a side pitch and (indignant tone) they sold that for housing....absolutely insane.  We had to go and beg, borrow and steal training pitches from all the local factories.  I were better treated as an amateur like.'

I recognise those words, but can't quite remember whose they were. They were on the BBC History of Aston Villa (or similar) produced in the late 80s.

Applause.

OK - this nonsense now has full on Internet rumour legs (moving across Facebook with full on outrage in places) and people really believe it's going to happen.

This is what people are finally going to protest about isn't it? Something that was never actually going to happen......and people were worried before that it's embarrassing being a Villa fan? I now realise that the full extent of the implosion of our fanbase is only in its infancy. I am officially scared!

We do seem to have our fair share of one man band Facebook and Twitter nutters who seem to think they speak as one when in fact they just spout endless drivel into the void.

'That was until Mr Trump came along and he we purchased some land out by Kings Heath Park.'

[Villa in Denmark]

'That was until Mr Trump came along and he we purchased some land out by Kings Heath Park.'

It's no good to Trump, there's already a half decent golf course nearby.

And he won't get planning permission for 50 nuclear warheads!

Franks has read out an email tonight again purporting that the club is going to be asset stripped in the summer.  And asked for views on it.

[Clampy]

They've had the bloke back on tonight, sorry I mean rang him up to get him on.
