Yeah, saw this on MOTD2 - ridiculous decision to kick him out.

Aye, some overzealous stewards there at Villa Park. General Krulak will fix it though :

2. Stewards: I spoke with John Handley (Head of Security) re. the steward issue. He recognizes, as we all do, that the stewards have a great deal to do with the atmosphere around the Club. If they are judicious in the exercise of their responsibilities...if they understand the concept of "customer friendly"...they will be far more effective. They need to exercise fairness in the treatment of all fans...home and away. John is meeting with all the senior stewards to "re-educate" them on how to carry out their duties. Obviously, they do have a responsibility to ensure health and safety but....how they go about it is very important. I HEAR YOU!!! We are already taking action. WE WILL FIX this!! Over zealous stewards can destroy the atmosphere of the Club as fast as poor play.

Mate of mine is a Villa fan, told me that Randy Lerner issued an apology and gave the fella a free season ticket, so it all worked out in the end I suppose.
