Outthedooron74 AVFC v Everton

Mike McKenna · February 23, 2016

Hi all,
Villa fan in peace. I am the organiser of the above. The first of which will be a walk out on the 74th minute against your Grand Old Club. Our website below gives more details.

As many of you will know, AVFC are after Everton the club with the highest number of seasons in the top flight, so we are pretty devastated to be going down again. Our club is in a mess!

My son in law is an Everton fan, and I have always had a soft spot for your club since the marathon League Cup Final in 1977 - which we were partly lucky to win at Old Trafford. Had some great craics with Evertonians over the three games.

Have always loved my occasional trips up to Liverpool to see family. Appreciate our struggle is nothing to do with you but any help either during the game or with likes on our facebook page would be great.
Please remove if you object to thread and apologies in advance.

I'd hate to be a Villa fan right now.

Luckily I'm not, cos I can't stand them and hope they go down.

Think O'Neill's got away with his part in spending money on poo for you lot.

we are still mostly greeting our prospective american overlords as liberators. you might have more solidarity in 5 years time.

but seriously though, best of luck. if the premier league is to swerve become like insipid american sports with canned atmosphere and facile diversions for tourists then supporters will need to cooperate much more in asserting themselves.

You might be leaving by the 61st minute when our 7th goes in...

Just messing, good luck with the protest.

Huyton Layne · February 23, 2016

Almost certain to go down. Hopefully it doesn't kill your club. Too many real clubs getting replaced by scrubs like the Bournemouths and Brightons of this world.

Jamo Martinez · February 23, 2016

Good luck. But not with the game itself.

LinekersLegs · February 23, 2016

Good luck with your protest, it is a shame that such a historic club is in such a mess.

Hope you bounce straight back up and Everton/Villa continue to rack up the numbers on the most played fixture.

Pabbers · February 23, 2016

Really don't want Villa to go down, massive club, a true giant of the English game, like us.

Why the 74th minute mate?

Coffee and TV · February 23, 2016

Villa is a massive club and it's so sad to see them go down. Good luck with your campaign.

Eggs · February 23, 2016

......Villa's demise is very sad and shows that a fall from grace is possible for even the great traditional clubs. It really is an achievement to continue to sit at the top table for so long but we can never take it for granted. There are lessons to be learned from Villa's demise, particularly that change might be good but it also carries risk.

Fond personal memories of playing at Villa Park, let's hope the most played game in top flight football doesn't have too long a break.

Founded in 1874 I think so that's maybe the link.
Hopefully, our travelling support on the night will be magnanimous towards the walking Villa fans - they are hurting and wish to make a protest, let's not ridicule them as we might the fans of you-know-who.

Connor · February 23, 2016

A lot of our lot will be leaving then as well once Gestede slots your third.

I kid. I don't mind Villa, used to hate them as a kid under O'Neill but it's a sad state of affairs to see yous go down without a fight.

That performance vs The Beezlebubs was just gutless. Follow a few Villa on Twitter, think they've given it a shout or they're planning to leave too.
