Amazing. Due to Lerners lack of proper investment over the last 5/ 6 years and the resultant drop in attendances due to crap performance on the pitch we are to be faced with cut backs across the entire site of AVFC.
Is this Lerners way of getting back at the supporters?
How will he ever be able to sell the club following cutbacks that will affect the academy?
Staff to lose jobs, marshals reduced .
What has Lerner done to our club?
If he had invested the right amount of money over the last few years the crowds would still be filling VP as the results would have been so much better.
I don't trust Lerner or Hollis one bit and only hope the Mervyn King can represent the faithful in our hour of need.
Please will someone come along and buy our club and get rid of the ar. ho. That Have been put in place by the most stupid owner in the whole football world.

Why are we as supports wasting our emotions, energy and effort on these guys? We can't effect them, change them or even turn there heads.
We should all be concentrating on encouraging the players we have, as we have them regardless of what we do, say or shout about.

If we are to stay in this league they need us to stand together, we should support these guys inspite of the crap at the top.

These guys 'running' this club are temporary. Our existence, status, and integrity is at state.
During the rest of this season, what will a protest change, what does these angry posts bring, other than negativity?

United we stand, United we should fall.

A time and a place, not now, not till after May now.

Spot on Flackie. Back to my comments last week regarding the futility of walking out of and and not turning up to games - for which I believe I was royally shot down in flames from some quarters of our brethren .

We should, excuse the irony, really be the twelve man.

If we stand as one, sing our hearts out, and try to be the incredible supporters we once all used to be at vp, we might actually help. Might give them the lift they need.

I hate what is happening to OUR club, it's not Lerners, it wasn't dougs, it's ours. They as someone once said, are the stewards.
What happens off the field, between now and the end of season, (and let's be brutal, probably after) we can't change.
But we can possibly affect what happens on the pitch at vp.

That's all that matters.
If, and it's not yet a when, if we go down. Let's go down fighting, but fighting the right battles.

My dad always says something, sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war!
