I'm just glad that our players didn't "leave early" for once.

Regarding people leaving early.

These people are SCUM, parasites who are not worthy of our great club and certainly not as good as a supporter as me, I'm a great Villa supporter me.

I've been supporting the club for 52 years and i'm only 45.

And whilst we're at it, leave Alex alone, he'll be the new Ron Saunders, mark my words.

I'm a brilliant fan I am.

You're not.

I am.
Fck off., I'm better, I haven't been up for 4 years to prove it. Jog on, better fan my arse.

Yes, plus Ashley's winner against Everton.

The wooden seats took a chunk out of my shin. Fantastic stuff!

My record for leaving Villa Park early is half time. Can't remember if it was against Bradford or Boro or someone like that. During Gregory's reign, nil nil at half time, no prospect of any improvement in the second half. We were so boring that we decided it would be better to go to the pub and watch the match on the video printer on Sky. I also left Stamford Bridge when we were 5-1 down a couple of years ago. We heard the 6th and 7th goals go in whie we were walking towards Fulham Broadway.

My record for arriving late is away at West Ham when we got in just after the second half kicked off - just in time to see Savo grab a brace.

I'm a shit fan, me

None of us is a better Villa fan than Sir Herbert Douglas Ellis (he invented Aston Villa y'know).
After all he hasn't missed a game home or away since 1873, in his spare time he sculpted the MacGregor statue in his garden shed, whilst at the same time single handedly building the new Trinity Rd. stand using only a wheelbarrow and a shovel.
And just to show the clubs appreciation for his unswerving loyalty to the club one chairman even named the Witton Lane stand after him as a surprise

I leave early if the football is turgid, I criticise the manager and the team if the football is uncompetitive and turgid like this season.

I pay my season ticket money and will have my opinion.

It's sterile enough at VP nowadays with over zealous stewarding, fans complaining and grassing others for standing or God forbid, using a naughty word, then why would you wish for disgruntled fans to have to remain in the stadium against their wishes?

There are far to many pompous people who attend these boards dictating what others should do but are never as vocal in real life.

I have never been challenged for leaving early and I once left after 20 minutes.

Fancy wanting to watch the match without someone constantly stood up in front of you, pompous bastards

I've never had the urge to leave on 20 minutes, that's very early.

I have, however, on numerous occasions, thought "fucking hell, I wish I'd stayed at home".

I've only ever left early twice and both were against Chelsea. Once was the game mentioned above. I also left at 5-1.

The other was at VP when Chelsea were 2-0 up (Boxing Day 1996 ?). We'd taken my mate's lad with us and he was feeling unwell, so we abandoned.

Next season I've decided I'm taking a year away from Villa. I'm so genuinely upset at how things are at the club that sometimes it nearly reduces me to tears! I need to try and rekindle the love with the Club
