[Mellin]

This controversy will be in the Grauniad soon. Front page.

+1 for sticky. Fuck the establishment.

The winning captain of the England team Leah Williamson is from my hometown
There’s a big mural of her on a wall near the fire station roundabout

I’ve just seen her outside the big co-op*and the first thing she said to me is how pissed off she is that the women’s team haven’t got a permanent pin on the H&V forum site, I think she might take it to UEFA

(* there was a little co-op but it’s gone now, but the one that remains is still called the big co-op)

I am a fan of the women's game (Internationally) and I watch the Villa games whenever I can. I'm not really sure what difference the stickiness of the thread matters though.

As daft as it may seem, and you are right it’s just a stickied thread, for me it’s about giving the women’s team a bit of respect and acknowledgment.
They are part of the club and is doesn’t hurt to recognise that.

Absolutely.

Possible 2 relegations with the play-off, I think that's the right move with the increase.

Risso isn't here to moan any more. Can we pin this thread, please?

No.

This. Accept the decision and get over it. Thank you.

[Dogtanian]

So, is that a ban on the discussion?

Should just be bottom two who go down automatically, IMO. I'd have champions and winners of a three or four team playoff promoted. Still, better than it could have been.

Seems like it. Dear H&V users, please give us your money but not your opinions.

Seems like it. 'Get over it' is a bit wanky, to me.

Wow ! Fucking hell.

If you're not happy with the decision made then please feel free to post elsewhere

[cdbearsfan]

Pretty pathetic tbh.

[Dogtanian]

So, you are saying that posters are banned from discussing whether or not the Aston Villa women’s team deserve more prominence on the forum?

Or if you’re just reminding us we have a choice on which forums we choose to support, but are free to carry on respectful debate, then great.
