Well done to all who walked out but it's not enough.
We need to get the whole ground virtually empty, it doesn't matter what minute symbolically it is, from the first minute would be better.
Just don't go at all.
I was there at the Preston game, it needs to go further before we force this regime out of Villa for ever once and for all, and believe me it's going to get a whole load worse, as it did then, but eventually we came back stronger.

Any attention it brings to the total mismanagement that has taken place under Lerner's tenure is a worthy cause, whether that be by singing, black balloons (still my favorite), walks outs, whatever, if it allows the anger of the fans to be vented that is a good thing, but I would change the words to the following
We want Lerner out, Randy Lerner out,
I don't think he gives a fuck,
from relegation fights to relegation rites,
Randy Lerner's not our man.

Remember that although he wants out, he has form for changing his mind if things start to look better  (like when we made a cup final last year & he was no longer a 'motivated seller') and that he could decide to hold on here, in the hope of promotion straight back next season, to minimise his losses.

Whilst I remain wary of who we might end up with if he sells us quick & cheap, I have actually moved into the camp of seeing no harm in encouraging him on his way......

....and I like the song!

....but I'm still staying rather than walking.

I have no issues with the people walking out. Fair play.

I travel a decent distance and I'm not keen on missing a minute of the game, let alone 21 as it turned out, bu there was good numbers who did leave.

I too like the anti-Lerner song, as it builds up and can be pretty loud. Last night was probably the loudest B6 has been all season!

I'm glad Fox copped some flack too. I hope he found it uncomfortable, 10,000 calling him a wanker and I hope he feels less and less comfortable for the remaining two  months of the season.

"'Wanker'. So, that's, like, a good word, right?"

That sounds like we want him here, but we don't.

If success is measured by publicity then it's achieved something.  It's been mentioned on five live sport in the last two bulletins and there's a story about it on Skysports.

I didn't go so i don't know how many took part but the media don't care if it was a modest amount taking part. They love to report a footy protest.

The coverage of the walkout on Central News tonight was excellent.
It showed the protest was really well supported.

The seemingly spontaneous rendition of "the greatest team ever seen" was very loud - all we need to do is get the two sides of the ground involved even if it is just clapping - some Lower Trinity went mad and clapped during the Norwich game 'cos I saw 'em!

Black balloons released on the 10th minute? Enough to stop the game?

When we sing this when we are crap, it feels like we are reminding the team who they are supposed to be.
