A Forest fan cornered me today to ask "what are Villa doing with promoting Rwanda?". He won't be the last one. What a shocking decision by the club.
To think not long ago we were proudly letting the world know about Acorns.
Congratulations to those who have got the petition off the ground. Have signed.

Unless you only wanted a couple of dozen from here signing it then it was always going to be the aim that it spreads far and wide.

That much is, undoubtedly true, Mr WithesShin. I can't remember, but I might've recommended bluesky for that very reason. Oh well: If I'm stuck a pigger in the street, by some flag-waving, pea-brained knuckle-dragger, speak kindly of me.

At least you don't have a unique name, I don't mean that in a bad way btw. Would be a lot more obvious who you were if it was Armin Tamzarian.

I felt sorry for the bloke whose parents christened him Newark & Sherwood Green Party.

Can you contact the site and ask if its possible to change the name?

Done so, but might take up to a week for a reply.

Scratch that. Managed it myself. We're now "Villa Fans for Ethical Sponsorship".

It's interesting to see that the facebook membership is full of the sort of people who'd last about a week on the forum.

Yep. Just read the comments on the Rawanda petition post.  Exactly the sort of people that social media is awash with and I spend too much of my online life trying to avoid.

I honestly can’t believe our club has sold its soul for 20m quid.
Disgraceful and leaves a bitter taste for sure.
