I've read through all of the last few pages of this thread and I listened to the interview on the link on here.
What she is saying is a typical description of life at Villa Park of late including match days. I prefer to use the evidence of my own eyes and ears and this only backs up what she is saying, stewards and police jumping on fans in the lower Doug Ellis whose only 'crime' was to spontaneously start a we want Lerner out chant, one of the girls at work who isn't a Villa fan does the betting in the Trinity and she has told me the fans are'nt happy about self service for food, one of the customers I speak to is the printer who did a lot of work for the Villa including all the mosaic panels we held up at Wembley and his opinion now is terrible of the state of the club.
I did leave after the 5th goal on Sunday and walking down Witton Lane glanced inside the Doug Ellis and fancied another quick look , only to be greeted by a surly steward whose attitude a member of Hitler's SS would have been proud of.
Fair play to that lady.
Absolutely agree. A true Villa fan of many years according to a friend of mine who wouldn't of done this lightly I hope she has another job lined up following her resignation

It isn't her job. She does a couple of hours on matchday.

It's amazing how much she apparently knows just by doing a couple of hours on a Saturday.

Yes, if only the club would fill us in on the facts but unfortunately they've declined to comment

They should comment, and as Paulie W said on a different topic some time ago, this is the sort of thing they used to bat away without blinking, but a lot of what she's saying is conjecture, without fact on either side.

You're right of course but by "declining to comment " gives the impression there is nothing to defend and just adds to the ire of the fans as it just fuels the opinion that they really don't care what we think So a bit like the transfer window they chose to do nothing.

I could lecture for hours on 'Aston Villa - their appaling media relations 1945-present'.

Maybe we should all take L plates to the last game and chuck em on the pitch.

Just get a Sharpie and right Lerner out on a tennis ball and throw it into the pitch as the players come out of the tunnel, a few thousand of those for the stewards to pick up and throw out instead of the fans.

Most of our conjecture is based on a couple of hours on match days.

To be fair Clampy, I thought that was in recent times, but worked more full time previously

I've seen on twitter someone has had a bulk load of Lerner out stickers made to distribute and decorate Villa Park with.

Aren't we better off doing something positive, like holding up 'For Sale' boards? You never know there may be an insane billionaire watching...

As much as I loath Lerner and what he has done to the club, I don't see the point of 'Lerner out' protests. He wants out anyway, he's just selling to any bidder that comes along, and nor should he. If there is an interested party out there, I would imagine they are waiting to buy a championship team.
