How do you contact the Fan Advisory Board?

I have absolutely no idea!

(Although I am friends with Joanne McKibbens on FB so I could try her)

When's the parade?

I have received this from an old friend about the Tel Aviv gam regarding Solidarity with Palestine.

It’d be great if people could complete/join any of these actions that they feel able to:

🚨 RED CARD TO ISRAEL! BOYCOTT THE MATCH! 🚨
Aston Villa is scheduled to play Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League on November 6th. This match must be cancelled! Why?
🔴 Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, as confirmed by the world’s leading genocide scholars (International Association of Genocide Scholars) . Over 63,500 Palestinians have been killed, including 17,000 children, and 90% of Gaza’s housing infrastructure has been destroyed .
🔴 UEFA’s double standards: While Russia was banned from UEFA competitions for invading Ukraine , Israel continues to participate despite violating international law and human rights. UEFA even displayed a "Stop Killing Children" banner but refused to name Israel as the perpetrator .
🔴 Sports should not whitewash crimes: Israeli teams must be suspended until Israel ends its genocide and respects Palestinian rights. FIFA and UEFA have a responsibility to uphold human rights, but they are failing .
WE DEMAND:
1️⃣ Aston Villa to publicly request UEFA to cancel the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
2️⃣ UEFA to suspend Israel from all competitions, just as they did for Russia.
3️⃣ Fans to boycott the match and protest peacefully.
🖊️ TAKE ACTION NOW!
1.   Email Aston Villa’s Board:
o   Demand they take a stand against genocide. Use the club’s official contact details or Fan Advisory Board .
2.   Contact Aston Villa Players:
o   Urge them to use their platform to speak out.
3.   Write to Your Local MP:
o   Pressure the UK government to call for Israel’s suspension from international sports.
📢 JOIN THE PROTEST!
•   Date: November 6th (match day)
•   Location: Villa Park (if possible) or online protests.

Via the Trust?

I might email our Jess when I'm sober. If she's going to get re-elected it won't hurt her cause to be publicly associated with opposition to Israel.

When people start questioning Iranian backed Hamas involvement I might start to take notice

[cdbearsfan]

Who did Hamas draw in the Europa League? You'd have to be pretty stupid to equate opposition to genocide with support for Hamas. I'll assume you aren't stupid so you're not doing that.

[Dave P]

The very fact that they are selling tickets tells me that it won’t be behind closed doors. The fact they are even in the competition shows UEFAs stance!
What I don’t want now is for any Villa supporter to be judged for wanting to see their team in a major European tournament we have a chance of winning.
It is possible to oppose the genocide, protest about the situation as many will do inside and outside the ground, but still want to watch the game. The most logical solution is not allowing away fans.
Imagine the statement the club could do? A stop killing children tifo on the holte to match UEFAs motto. The team turning their back for the Europa league anthem.

I'd definitely want advice from the police on away fans because I'm not sure how it can possibly be managed safely and without violence.

Pretty generous (though the thought of Hamas qualifying for the Europa League gave me a bleak Sunday morning chuckle).

A rare occasion I actually feel like I've had value for money this week with that bundle. £371 for 12 tickets (young un' and old 'un with the adult) and £15 for Brentford.

That's because you can't beat Hamas for low, low prices all the time! Hamas, your budget warriors.
