Out the door on 74

[four fornicholl]

Walking out on 74 would be a complete embarrassment to us. We have, I hope, much more class than that

It's a protest, why would it be embarrassing?

For me, there's no class in sitting quietly and accepting your fate like a boiling frog in a saucepan.

Hear hear!

I shall be standing, singing loudly while applauding those who walk out - all bases covered...

Because it comes hot on the heels of that scouse protest, almost identical timing,and I like to think, as I said, we have more class than that! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and all that!

It could well be embarrassing.  At best it will look like a a copycat protest and if it doesn't work well there will certainly be comments like 'they can't even get that right'

I think if we're losing by two goals or more the thing may catch on and you could see a mass exodus.

I suspect theb thumping Everton are likely to administer will ensure an impressive exodus on 74mins

I think that will be well down the list of most embarrassing things to happen to Aston Villa in 2016, to be honest.

To the club maybe not, but to us, the fans, definitely.

How did it go?

[cdbearsfan]

I left. Quite a few others did too.

[Ad@m]

A few left but it was a tiny percentage of the crowd. More left after the third went in.

[curiousorange]

My beef with it was always that it looked more like we were protesting because we were going to get relegated and we couldn't take it, rather than having a go at the neglect of the club by its owner. It may have been a stronger tactic towards the end of the transfer window to force Lerner's hand. Now it looks like sour grapes.

[exigo]

Although not that many looked to leave, it did get a lot of coverage. Both on the stream I was watching and the BBC live text. For that at least, it achieved something.

Still think it would have had more effect by doing it at the start of the game. Ten empty minutes from kick off representing Lerner's ten empty years would have had greater impact.

Not gonna work unless the stadium is fuller or we are winning. Turn your back on the field of play or just don't go at all.

[andyh]

I left, as did many others.
Outside the ground was nearly as busy as it is at full time.

My reason for supporting the walkout is this.

We all know the team is poor, and we know we are going down.
We also know that the management of the club know we are not happy, so what's the point of a protest you might ask?

For me, I believe that people, and particularly, Americans hate to be shown up or made to feel embarrassed.
So, walking out and highlighting how poorly the club is being run will embarrass Lerner, and this (hopefully) will resonate more with him that the crowd singing 'what a wanker' or, God forbid, doing the usual shrug of the shoulders, sighing and effectively doing nothing.

It's a long shot, but it's my reason for doing it.

[Risso]

Well played to everybody who did it.  Looked like a considerable number from the footage.

[FanNOTCustomer]

Bit of a non event as expected.

If you want to do a protest do something that'll get noticed.
