Just out of interest, have other clubs posted a similar message? And if so, have they been met with the same response?I don't really care, personally. We've put out a friendly, inclusive message. We can't control how idiots on social media react and hopefully the outright anti-semites who have responded will now stop following us.
Maybe stick to football and leave religion (and politics) to some other platform
Spurs fans on the post are saying Villa are one of the worst visiting teams for giving the gas chamber 'hiss' I never went to WHL, is this true? If it is then it's pretty fucking shit to hear it.
Being pleasant costs nothing. Sending best wishes to fans of all faiths, religions and beliefs just shows how inclusive we are and we shouldn't stop doing it just because someone else doesn't like it.I think when there are negative responses the club should consider a further response reiterating their support for all faiths and religions and telling those that aren't happy to reconsider. And to express disappointment in those responses.

The club have posted the following: 'The club deplores religious intolerance of any form and is an inclusive organisation who welcomes people of all faiths'.
If the Villa wish us Happy Christmas is that political? I can’t really see that it is, therefore wishing people who celebrate other things Happy ‘whatever’ isn’t political either - it’s just pleasant. It’s the responses that make it political.
