Liverpool protest ?

[aj2k77]

19th February the AVISA are having their AGM at the ground and a forum with Tom Fox, it's for paid up members only but anyone who is interested in getting your point across to someone with some power at the club I can't think of a better opportunity than this apart from match days because you can bet your bottom dollar that twat Lambert will still be dragging us down then.

I absolutely agree that this proposed 'protest' has missed the point and should be clearly against the manager not the chairman, who wants out anyway.
But, if things aren't going our way today, I think there is still too much apathy around for an outburst against Lambert.
For a start there will be too many half and halfers.
Then,  there will be a great many who will use the old augment that we shouldn't expect to be beating the 'big boys' anyway.
I think it will be the usual collective shrug and sigh as people traipse out of the stadium, trying to get back to the warm as quickly as possible.

Pretty much as I thought.
I think Sunday will be a different matter though and lambert will get a dogs abuse if we aren't winning after 80 mins or so.

Very much THIS.



Only the die-hards will be there anyway.

Out of my regular gang of 8 I know at least 3 who have no intention at all of attending.

As it's a cheap ticket game a lot won't be diehards. It's the kind of game folks that can't afford many/any league games will go to.

We do need a Bolton moment .
Sorry my point was it seems much harder to get the majority of villa Park onside for a protest. I think people who moan on forums such as this about lambert and Lerner etc are in the minority by a distance .
Or most villa fans are too polite or apathetic to bother protesting or similar .

The Bolton moment was organic though wasn't it? Can't remember any talk of organised protest before the game but conceding 2 goals in a minute (or whatever it was) led to an outpouring of grief so intense Villa fans everywhere felt a disturbance in the Force.

Bolton was a continuation for the end of Wigan away.

I thought the protest was a stupid idea and told them so repeatedly on their FB stream, as did many others - there was a clear weight of opinion 'against' as opposed to 'for.'

However, what you cannot deny is that there has been FAR more coverage on Villa this week than usual, I've never heard so much radio, TV and newspaper analysis on us as I have this week.  Therefore, whilst ill conceived in it's nature (in my opinion) one thing I have to concede to MOMS (and the others) is that in highlighting our plight to the national press and, crucially, prompting them to talk about it, it was really quite a success.

Looks like the club are always one step ahead. Apathy reigns amonst supporters as we sleepwalk to the Championship.

I agree. This so called protest generated some much needed interest in the media even if it was seen as a failure. So well done to the people who at least tried to do something to help fellow supporters in their hour of need,

[dave.woodhall]

They weren't trying to help the rest of us in some noble cause in the face of frenzied opposition. A handful wanted to protest, the rest either don't agree or else thought it wasn't the time or place.

[Clampy]

A quote from that self indugant post on MOMS.

'It was not an organised protest against Lerner and/or Lambert'

What was the aim of it then if it wasn't against either of those two, and why 8 minutes?

Oh and apparantely, it was a demo not a protest. Hmm.

There has been far more coverage but its come across as 'fickle' Villa fans again. Anyone listening to 5 Live on Saturday would've heard some very disparaging comments when the proposed 'demo' didn't materialise. I'm all for protest but it must be organised and not thrown together. Whatever the results coming up, who is going to want to join any form of protest now?

[chrisw1]

Maybe some disparaging comments,but I heard plenty of comment about how poor we've been, lack of goals etc.  The like of Lee Hendrie were talking about it being time for Lambert to go.

I thought the protest was a poor idea, but if the idea was to put the spotlight ob the club / pressure on Lambert then it has certainly done that.
