Brigada Corner

[Percy McCarthy]

Oh how they laughed ,  dare challenge the might of H&V knowledge and wisdom silly me .

It will end in tears . 

 laughing at you whilst a Jam song reverberates in my head , 

Thought you were clever when you lift the fuse,
Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes,
Composed a revolutionary symphony,
Then went to bed with a charming young thing.
Hello-hurrah - cheers then mate - it's the Eton Rifles,
Hello-hurrah - an extremist scrape - with the Eton Rifles.
What a catalyst you turned out to be,
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standing - like a guilty schoolboy.
We came out of it naturally the worst,
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt,
We were no match for their untamed wit,
Though some of the lads said they'll be back next week


  as i said before birds of a feather flock together .

Happy Days

 

Yeah, wow! I'm thinking of a Jam song too!

Billy Hunt.

Smart

SUnny can you please explain to us how the above is anything other than a political opinion which you have enmeshed into a conversation about football whilst simultaneously arguing that political opinions have no place in football. I'm really eager to see how you resolve yourself to allowing your political opinion to lead you to believe that politics has no place in football without realising that you're a massive hypocrite.

Lads who had tickets taken off them on Wednesday night now blocked from buying tickets home or away.

Really disgusted in that if true. This club sure knows how to shoot itself in the foot on a regular basis. Ridiculous treatment of the fanbase.

Definitely true got a text earlier, stupid to hand over the tickets but completely out of order from the club!

If this is the case the club needs to make a very clear statement about it, explaining precisely why the guys were ejected and this latest action taken against them....for standing!!!???
Thousands of us stand at VP; it follows that we will all be ejected. Which we know won't happen, so why pick these guys out?

[Legion]

Perhaps there's more to it?

[bruisedshins]

A couple of fans who enquired about ticket availability for Hull have been told that they are blocked from buying tickets to games as a result of standing at the Rotherham game, they've been told that someone from Villa will call them on Monday to give them further information. Frankly this is a disgrace.

The group have released a statement on their website, if you can tolerate the colours then please read.

I'd urge anyone who feels passionately about this to get in contact with the club.

There is.

[MonsXI]

I know the lads personally it was only for persistent standing no warnings previously.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Perhaps there's more to it?

Very probably Leeg.
Has there been any of this reported in the press; any reasons given for them being chucked out?
If it's just for standing then it's bonkers!
If it's more serious than that (??!!??) we still need to know, surely?
I don't want to be chucked out of the Newcastle game for being loud and enthusiastic!

The stewards stated to me that it was because 'they won't sit down'. Those of us who stand in the wider sense will tend to sit when asked to , as long as no one is standing in front of us blocking our view. Then we probably stand up again a few moments later. The Brigada lads simply refuse to sit. Sadly, this does leave the stewards with nowhere to go - they do have to enforce ground regs. There is no more to it. I am shocked they are effectively banned without notice tho. - surely the ejection as a warning is more than adequate.
I have already been in touch with the club about my feelings on how this was handled & they say security are getting back to me. Please get in touch with Villa - yes ground legs sadly do have to be enforced, but where is the notion of reasonableness?

[Ger Regan]

Yeah it does seem heavy handed, but reasonableness is a two-way street. The club seem to be doing everything in their power to try and get safe standing introduced, but until this happens they have to follow the rules. This isn't a case of poor put-upon innocents being persecuted, this group go out of their way to break the rules, so as much as I want standing at matches, they can hardly claim to be surprised if they are ejected.

[dicedlam]

Perhaps there's more to it?

I'm sure there is.
I don't see the club taking this action without having reason. What I find a little strange is the decision to ban them from away games also?
Have they evidence that the persons involved also stand up at other grounds?
Some serious surveillance work there if true.

If the club is doing everything in its power then surely they should tell us that that's what they are trying to do so that we can take that into account and respond in a positive, co-operative way.
Chucking fans out and blocking them from buying tickets seems to be a ridiculously heavy-handed way of dealing with a very minor problem, imho.
