Brigada Corner

Send a threatening letter. That will get you banned, for sure.

And arrested, hopefully.

Pardon?

[Percy McCarthy]

Jackanory time again!

Fucking Twilight Zone more like.

Pardon?

Anyone who sends a threatening letter to anyone, whatever the circumstance - and nobody seriously believes that's the case here - should be arrested.

[LeeB]

I'm a boring old twat now who enjoys watching from the Upper Trinity, watching the game closely, but I'm not very happy at all about what seems to have happened here.

I don't see why the club can't be more open if there are these issues with the council. If it means a covert operation to remove paying bloody customers, how about maybe having better dialog in the first place, with the supporters as a whole.

Maybe, by bringing it to a wider audience, that might bring pressure to the authorities to look again at how they're policing it.

However, my guess is that none of those in authority have any desire to see a group of enthusiastic, bright lads forming some kind of organisation.

Could be trouble.

There can't be many clubs in the country that has more and better dialogue with supporters, and in particular with this group, but you can't talk to people who won't listen.

In principle, yes.
The Brigada threatening letter thing remains a nasty bit of goss in reality then!

Yes, the voices in Dan's head never shut up about it.

I dunno, are these Dan's voices that Percy was on about?

No Lee. Dan, and all of his voices, are from the Dark Side!

I know Dave, but I suppose my frustration is in why the issue is being pushed back more.

In short, why are these football supporters treated differently to spectators of other events?

Because a) rules are different at football grounds and b) these supporters make it clear that on every occasion they will break them.

[Dave Cooper please]

I don't get Brigada's stance here.
They are in the perfect place to speak to the club on safe standing and help the club push this to the authorities, after all they are exactly what safe standing should be bought back for, to create a part of the ground where young lads can enthusiastically stand, shout, sing, wave flags and support the team without breaking any rules or annoying anyone else in the ground.
Instead of being confrontational and insisting on breaking the ground regulations no matter what, how about a campaign of disgruntled obedience, but at the same time highlighting and promoting the fact that petty rules are preventing you from fully enjoying your matchday experience and Villa Park is poorer in atmosphere as a result?

 And above all WORK WITH THE CLUB NOT AGAINST THEM!

Viva Brigada
Villa's very own Les Miserables . I can feel a hit musical here in the making.

Yes, but that's the wisdom of age talking.
