It's going to be mutinous isn't, the Holte End will finally wake up from its slumber and direct ire at the directors box, the likes of which we wouldn't have seen since the Ellis out days.
And I think that will happen even if we are winning, the line has been crossed now.
Not advocating violence or any of that nonsense but it will be good to make Hollis and Fox feel uncomfortable sitting there and knowing they've got another 7 home games still to attend. Yes the most important man isn't there but who knows they might feel so uncomfortable at the games they might be on the hotline to Cleveland and politely inform Randy to drop his asking price by quite a considerable amount as quickly as possible.
Going to be an interesting day anyway, the football is secondary from now on.
-
I'll be there and yes I'll be mutinous. I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. The football is a sideshow because we're fucked so there's no point.
-
This is not about the Russ Abbot smash hit?
-
The board need to be told as loudly and as clearly as it is humanely possible that they've let us down, and we have their number. They need to have the most uncomfortable afternoon they can remember. If they show up.
-
I can see it getting nasty if we go behind.
Give the board both barrels; they deserve it.
-
I think it's a case of when we go behind to be fair.
-
We need to get behind Garde on Saturday, show him that we appreciate him even if those shitbags in the boardroom don't.
-
We need to show these shambolic excusès for football people that we've had enough.simple as. I was there against Preston and a similar response is required. Please villa fans don't let us die .
-
...and if we also feel like giving Randy and his cronies a round of fucks then don't let me stop you.
-
wont be one for the kids
to be honest, I think the time for just staying away is over.
Regardless of relegation, this club is under threat of extinction under the current board
all that are left are the supporters, we cant let our club just die
-
90 mins of the holte singing remi gardes claret and blue army is required
-
How long can Fox stay now?
It will be very very bad if we go behind. Even worse if Naismith gets the goal to ran home the importance of buying in Jan
-
90 mins of the holte singing remi gardes claret and blue army is required
Aye but the board need to be called out at some point aswell as this is not acceptable.
-
Mentions on Twitter of possible pitch invasions every game. WBA cost Lerner £200k. Hit him in the place he only cares about, his wallet

Yes, that'll be clever. Do they not understand that it won't be his money paid out and it won't be fines more than once?
-
Pitch invasions are a bad idea. Voice your angst loud and clear from the stands by all means.

To be fair what else are the authorities going to do?
Dock us points? What a difference that'll make.
Kick us out of the league? We're doing that just fine without the Premier League's help.
Close parts of the ground? The Board will probably do that anyway soon as part of their next money saving scheme.
It's got to the point of not mattering really. The Board don't give a shit about the consequences so why should the fans?

Meanwhile, on a planet where pitch invasions aren't always one big laugh and show what proper lads we are there's quite a lot that can be done. They can close the ground for a start, and won't that be wonderful? Still, as long as boys can be boys.
-
I don't necessarily agree with the tactic but they haven't docked Blackpool points or closed their ground despite regular pitch invasions.

They aren't in the Premier League.
-
Neither will we be very soon. In any case aren't fines and so on dished out by the FA rather than the league?

They are, but the principle is still there. Anything below the Greatest League in the World is out of sight out of mind.
-
Simple protest - Don't let the players turn up for work. We need to block all entry to the stadium. Then Aston Villa and Norwich can't play a game.
-
Not far enough. I think we should burn down the ground during the game then dance on the charred corpses of the players while singing Black Sabbath songs backwards.
-
Taking this back to reality why not a mass of booing from the 06th to the 16th minute to commemorate his years in charge
-

We must be purged by fire in order to rise again from the ashes.
Good luck to the stewards trying to get certain sections of the crowd to sit down on Saturday.
-
Yes let's get some points deductions to start off next season, thus giving these incompetents another reason for not trying.
-
This is not about the Russ Abbot smash hit?
They've finally worked out what to play as the team comes out to intimidate the opposition!
-
It would be ideal for the team to take the pitch to.
-
Bought my ticket today, even at £12.98 I thought "are you mad?" as I clicked pay.
-
It would be ideal for the team to take the pitch to.
Or from the same beat combo.
Or from the same era.
-
Can we get the 'boys' from the Wycombe bus incident to stand outside the executive car park before and after the game to give Hollis and Fox the warm welcome they deserve.
Alternatively, someone could take in a can of fake poo and place a nice little swirl on each of the executive seats...yes it's juvenile, but it'd make me laugh.
-
Just read on a different thread where we were described as waving the white flag and it struck me that this would be the perfect demonstration...if everyone took a white flag with either Fox, Hollis or Lerner written on it and waved it for the entirety of the game on Saturday and beyond.
-
Well I will give Remy my full support.I won't give the players grief.I won't invade the pitch..but I will voice my anger at the wide boys who have pushed the Aston Villa bus off the edge of the cliff. There are many ways to make those bastards squirm and I will do that at every available opportunity. They aren't going to take the piss out of me and hope I will quietly sit there and take it. UTV
-
I'm with CT Villain, simple and very effective, the media will run with it too.
A banner or two telling Remi we're 100% with him would be good - 'Remi - Oui. Board - Non' ?
Pitch invasions are a terrible idea and will achieve nothing but negative results.
PS. As soon as I get a job I'll make myself a muppet, promise!! :D
-
When we have these outpourings of what should happen at a game, pitch invasions, Wycombe chav rants, shit on the directors' seats and so forth, it would be enlightening to know what proportion of the proposers actually attend games.
-
I think a better demonstration would be to go to the Sty and burn it down, at least we wont have to go there next season then, I am in Oman Brian, so wheres me lighter, or could you send someone round to do it for me, alibi sorted.
-
I have form Kuwait. I have a police record for being arrested as a youth and banged up in Steelhouse Lane for pulling down some of the fence around Aston Park to have a fire in Trinity Rd when we were queueing for semi final tickets all night and freezing our bollocks off. I will send Damon's boys they all have the pyromania gene.
-
Good man Brian, at least that form of demonstration would make us all feel better.
-
It's not the time for protests, it's for us to unite and cheer for our illustrious leaders as we take Aston Villa into battle.
Creating an amazing atmosphere, a wall of sound to spur on our warriors on the pitch.
(Was that OK Mr Lerner, sir?)
-
I was considering renewing my season ticket next year again (blind faith 30+ years)
I was hoping that during the summer with Garde in charge he would get rid of a lot (most) of the players who currently play for our club, however if Garde does leave we will be stuck with the same bunch of losers who we have had for 4 + seasons (new manager fresh slate etc...)
You can almost see Richardson etc... being given a new contract!
If this happens then I doubt I will be renewing, I wonder if Mr Lerner/ Hollis / Fox will be laughing when we are getting 18,000 for a midweek game next season
Change needs to happen and it needs to be nasty and horrible!
-
Garde needs all the support he can get. I hope he starts picking the players he believes are our future.
As for protest, a march to the stadium and a late entry (5 minutes or so into the game) by 100's of supporters would make an impact. Banners - yes. But, for most impartial observers it will probably look like 'too little, too late': protest and dissent should have happened two-three years' ago.
-
This is not about the Russ Abbot smash hit?
No I don't think it will be a party with a happy atmosphere.
-
The old toilet roll streamer from all 4 stands. 25,000 streamers couldn't clean up
All that shit mind.

No chance of getting any banners criticising the board into the ground. At the Palace game, stewards were confiscating any banners which in the words of one of them "had a go at Randy Lerner". I like the idea of showing support for Remi Garde though.
-
Pitch invasion would be my choice. That's if I wasn't already going for the boycott option.
Tonight's going to be fun as well
-
Pitch invasion would be my choice.
What about the court appearance and £1000 fine that would accompany it if caught?

Details, Tom.
-
I like the idea of a white flag protest.
that gets my vote too. Take something white to wave or hold up to show displeasure at the board's surrender of our premier league place without a fight
-
Support the team, support the manager, barrack the board. Take some banners of support for Garde and discontent with the Board amd show the lazy media that we arn't 'fickle', we arn't 'deluded' were knowledgable, loyal, loud and know who the culprits are.
Pitch invasions with coffins and mass boycotts are for the hysterically sanctimonious of Sandwell or the Neanderthals of Small Heath.
-
It has to be made crystal clear that we're 100% behind Garde, the last thing we want to do is create an atmosphere where the one good thing we have going for us decides it's time for him to leave.
That said, board protest absobloodylutely.
-
White hankies would be appropriate.
-
White flag or Black armbands for the death of Aston Villa premier status for god knows how long.
In fact did we not do the black armband thing when we went down last time at the last away game, for some reason got in my head Old Trafford.
-
We need to get behind Garde on Saturday, show him that we appreciate him even if those shitbags in the boardroom don't.
Would be good if we could come up with some kind of chant to say who we'd like to stay and who we'd like to go - i.e. keep the manager, sack the board.
-
Also get behind Garde and the players it's not their fault there not fit for purpose, so plenty of Remi Gardes Claret and Blue Army, also as we dont know when we will be back at these places again, make 'We'll meet again" our song between now and May, so we can show we aint fickle and we have a sense of humour.
-
I won't be taking my 5 year old, he keeps asking to go (despite not seeing us win any of the 6 games he's been to so far this season), but I genuinely believe this one could get toxic.

I notice that Charlton fans are using the "support the team, not the regime" slogan on their banners at the moment ( they are being shafted something rotten by their owners). Not sure if they nicked it from Newcastle though?
-
All take white sheets and then hold aloft and cover the whole away end at West Ham. Make the whole block white and it would look good on TV.

'Remi Garde,m'Lord, Remi Garde', 'Sack the board, m'Lord, sack the board'
-
"Support the boss, but not the dross"?
-
First Time poster...I agree we need to protest but any actions that effect the good name of Aston Villa should be condoned. Banners , white flags good idea and will get media coverage. What about boycotting merchandise, programmes, food kiosks and even Holte Suite. Although I think they are all to thick skinned to care in the way we do
-
Hi should have read 'not be condoned'

That's pretty good. Easy to pick up and sung to an already popular chant.
-

Certainly sounds simple, how does that work then?
-
Agree with knott1961.
We need to support our club and remi the one decent thing to happen to us. I wouldn't have blamed him if he'd gone at 11pm last night. Only fan support may convince him to stay. You don't need to buy a pie and a drink at games or programmes or merchandise to show support for AVFC. Hit Lerner and co in their pockets and boycott these things. I boycotted buying a season ticket because of Lerner but I've still been to 7 premier league games for £83 supporting my team. We need to create maximum embarrassment for Lerner,Fox etc so that it is viewed on a global scale. Use.the internet and YouTube to reach America and beyond but do it in a way that shows up Lerner, Fox etc for what they are but Villa fans as having class, loyalty and pride. UTV!! Fck the villa board!
-
Easy Chris just tell then we are playing away, they would not know where we are playing unless someone holds their hands from their 5 star hotel room till they get on the coach, hijack the coach and drive around the M25 for 3 hours, they will be too busy listening to their Bosh speakers and playing snap for 200 quid a game.
-
Build a bonfire, build a bonfire
And stick Lerner on the top
Fox & Hollis in the middle
And then burn the fecking lot
-
Anyone here suggesting a pitch invasion is the way to go is a complete moron

'Remi Garde,m'Lord, Remi Garde', 'Sack the board, m'Lord, sack the board'
Best option and the only one likely to take off. Plus it fits and rolls off the tongue nicely. Demi Garde's claret & blue army non stop would also be good.
This and the white flag/sheet/A4 paper thing - yes.
-

Now if I was the bed wetting, hand wringing type, I'd be running to the mods to get you banned. There's room enough for all opinions in this thread.

I like Lerner's wikipedia page, already got to by someone.
"Thought to be the worst chairman in Aston Villa history with a poor record and not a single trophy to his name."
and Occupation - "Gutless Coward"

Think this one should be sung throughout the game.

You keep boycotting the Bovril stalls and tutting from the Trinity - see how much of that Randy can bear before he cracks.

Is the atmosphere on Saturday going to be mutinous? I think the majority of fans have had all the fight kicked out of them and are just punch drunk and numb now.

Its reputation for inaccuracy in its early years is no longer justified.
-

Depends on what happens on the pitch. I think if we go a goal down and are losing at half time, big numbers in the Holte will start to make their feelings towards Lerner n co known.
-
Agree with Richard E it is difficult to feel anything but numb and give up, but we can't, we must show some fight, Lerner is going no where and just happy to let the club decline further. I have had a season ticket for 30 years, I really do not want to renew but unless the majority all take the stance of not renewing its pointless. We have to find a way to hit back and force them out, worry with that is what could we be letting ourselves in for if they sell on the cheap!!! The only peaceful way is to hit their pockets

Was told the other day they overheard Hollis ask Fox what time the KO was against Leicester and he said 3PM. Apparently this had to be rapidly revised when it was pointed out it was 5:30PM.

Merchandise/programs/booze for me as while the team, although dying on its feet, isn't down yet.
Its also got to be undertaken by the vast majority. Not a few.
-
What a fucking bunch of shitcunts of the highest order they have not one bit of intergrity for our club . So fuck the lot of em and just give them both barrels

Stupid, irresponsible and ineffective.

Yes, that'll be clever. Do they not understand that it won't be his money paid out and it won't be fines more than once?
To be fair what else are the authorities going to do?
Dock us points? What a difference that'll make.
Kick us out of the league? We're doing that just fine without the Premier League's help.
Close parts of the ground? The Board will probably do that anyway soon as part of their next money saving scheme.
It's got to the point of not mattering really. The Board don't give a shit about the consequences so why should the fans?
Go ahead and act like a Bluenose idiot. They used to be very good at pitch invasions.

Waving white hankies as we wipe away the tears of utter frustration while watching our club become an even bigger embarrassment.

Probably banned from their Ground if you can call their shitpit a Ground.

And as for why the fans should give a shit, it would probably be the banning orders* and criminal records that they'll be on the end of.
*I know, I know. Lucky them, not having to go anymore. Etc.

We should do something with those bloody scarves. A mass burning perhaps??
-
I believe I saw on T V some game in Italy that when the Manager or referee made bad decisions that the white hankies were waved around and they whistled, it looked quite effective and they got their point across.
could this waving of white hankies be done on our remaining home games, but also there should be some support of
Remi to show him the fans understand that the board have tied his hands
-
We should do something with those bloody scarves. A mass burning perhaps??
Agree with this, but maybe not the burning!
It should be arranged that everyone takes 'that' scarf to a home game and all throw them onto the pitch.
-
Don't panic!
My son has a 100% win record at Villa park and we're coming up, so everybody chill out.

You can't have people waltzing down to the front of the stands to chuck scarves on the pitch, its a health and safety hazard. If you wished to do something meaningful with the scarves then get fans to tie them to the gates and metal fence on the Trinity Rd - It would take quite some coordination though and I seriously question whether there is the motivation to do this.
-
God forbid any protest should contravene health and safety standards. That's probably where the Suffragettes went wrong.

If you have time to Toss it off on here you can meet me in the pub earlier that 6 you bloody lightweight.
-
I'm amazed our insightful leaders haven't picked up that the majority are a bit miffed today and made some sort of statement.
Ok, they haven't got the message then, we must give it to them on Saturday, the only thing that'll work is not to go, it's the only thing the fuckwits will understand.
A crowd of around 10k all waiving white flags/hankies will get the message across I think, no pitch invasions or violence, just clear, silent waving of white flags, which is what they have done.

Leaving work at 5 in Canary Wharf - I'll be there for 5.20.
I'll have pint of Nelson Mandela please

I think that what happened on Saturday is the best way to protest. I was really shocked at the 23,000 attendance. Gates like that and lower for remaining fixtures will tell the story much more persuasively.
Apathy is a strong tool.

That would actually be quite impactful and not get anyone banned from the ground.
Might chuck in the FA Cup final scarf too.

I came accross.my scarf the other day having a clear out. I did chuckle when I saw it. A mass throw on the pitch would.be good.

Apathy is a strong tool.
I've drifted away from Villa Park over the past few years, gone from having a season ticket for over 15 years running and travelling down from Manchester for every game to only going to a handful of games a season and even then mainly for social reasons. I'm probably the embodiment of an empty Villa Park seat.
Looking at the headlines as the transfer window was about to close last night and seeing that, rather than having signed a striker at the last minute to give us a flicker of a chance of staying up, the only man to have both a footballing brain and a key to an office at Villa Park is on the verge of quitting knocked all the apathy right out of me. I'm not convinced it's the right course of action but I've got every sympathy with people who want to turn up and invade the pitch rather than protest by going down the garden centre. I certainly think showing the world that we care means more than letting them think we don't.
-
I always look forward to my trips to Villa Park with my son, if he wasn't a Villa supporter I wouldn't go if truth be told, although I'm looking forward to the day out with him I can see the actual match itself being the least enjoyable part of the day once again. I'm not sure there will be any protests such is the apathy surrounding the club, not a dig at fellow supporters but it's almost as if we've been beaten down and come to expect it.
-
I like the idea of a white flag protest.
Yep or white underpants...
Will greyey/white with hints of yellow and brown do?

The protest with white flags are a great idea but I don't believe anyone should go onto the pitch not even our fucking players

A really powerful statement would be a gate of sub 20,000

Which won't happen because i'm pretty sure we have more than 20,000 ST holders.

I like the idea of a white flag protest.
Yep or white underpants...
Will greyey/white with hints of yellow and brown do?
A dirty protest. Good idea
Calling me to the post... Did someone mention a dirty protest? All for that, obviously. And a round of the 'Allo 'Allo theme tune, of course. As you were.
-
We should do something with those bloody scarves. A mass burning perhaps??
Agree with this, but maybe not the burning!
It should be arranged that everyone takes 'that' scarf to a home game and all throw them onto the pitch.
This with brass knobs on .
Hundreds of these being thrown on the pitch as a game kicks off would be a good statment from the supporters .
-
Should be fun. A small but very angry crowd.
-
Don't panic!
My son has a 100% win record at Villa park and we're coming up, so everybody chill out.
*punches air*
*sets Football First to record on Sky on Saturday night*
-
Tell every Villa fan you know to get down there Saturday and back the manager and players, and above all else let the board know exactly what we think!
These idiots are ruining our club but it's still our club, we're Aston Villa and we're all Villa til we die!
Throwing the "Bright Future" scarves on the pitch is the best thing to do, what a fuckin insult!
-
I'm not Ben Stokes so getting my scarf on the pitch from my seat with my arm is a pipedream
-
Likewise, Bully2345 - throwing mine onto the pitch from the Upper Holte would be a challenge. Unless I put a brick in it......hmm

I'd prefer a 40,000 crowd as a more powerful statement to the football world. I don't care what Hollis and Fox think as the song goes "they don't care about me all I care about is AVFC " I want to get behind Remi and the team until it's mathematically over , or not as the case may be ! then the spineless, faceless owner and board can have everything coming to them. Has anyone got Randy's address ? Weren't white feathers given out to cowards who had to perform acts of bravery to have them taken back ?
I will personally give one to Hollis and Fox if we do go down.

You could sellotape it to a javelin but thats not going to get through the turnstiles is it? I'll go back to sleep.

Seeing as we are using half the season as friendlies to prepare for next season they could lower the prices to £15 a ticket and refund everyone else the difference.
-
I came accross.my scarf the other day...
Sorry, but I'm not doing this on my scarf first
-
Maybe this protest should be saved until we're finally down and at that home game we do our best to get them thrown onto the pitch.
How many were given out? Does anybody know? As I can't remember the game.
-
It was the Sheffield Utd/25th Anniversary match in 2007 wasn't it?
-
Yes, Saturday will be the eight and three-quarter anniversary (approx) of it.
-
I've got two, mine and my lad's. So full of hope and excitement that day, Saunders on the pitch, superb performance, really though it was the start of something big.......
-
Anything reserved for the last home game should be scrapped - we don't want to give Newcastle any satisfaction watching us suffer, we put on our party face that day.
Saturday we should give the board an insight to what Villa Park will look like next season - 1874 protest, no one enter the stadium until 18 minutes into the game, enter the ground get right behind Remi and the team until 74 minutes then everyone walk out en masse. For this to be effective we need a 35k+ crowd and everyone to participate no stragglers sneaking in to the Witton Lane and Upper Trin early because its raining or they can't be bothered. Imagine the eery atmosphere at the start when all you can here inside are the shouts of the players and the occasional farmers mutterings from the dozen or so Norwich fans.
If people want to give it a bit longer watching the game we can switch it to a 1982 ;)
-
I think we should get behind the team for the 90 minutes Saturday, any protest shouldn't get in the way of us. We need 3 points, being 7 behind Norwich who are 17th would just about keep the season alive.
-
I'm not going to be the one to tell my son that he has to get up early on a Saturday, miss his football training and not get home until 10.30pm to see less than an hour of the match, no matter how tempting it may be.
-
I just hope the crowd demonstrate support for Garde.

This.

The reaction was good today as the Holte got behind the team continually for the first 15 minutes and then, apart from the odd lull, throughout the match.
Well done the Lower Trinity in the corner for getting into it late in the second half - now if the rest of the ground would like to join in (with a nod to Lower Witton by the away fans who always seem to be up for it) it might sound quite good.
Just give us something to cheer and we will do the rest!
-
Ha, looks like I got a bit carried away. I think the awful weather meant people weren't in the mood for much dissent plus we never really looked in danger of losing.
-
There was certainly no dissent today.
-
We just want to see the effort put in. I think most people have accepted that we are going down, and have made dozens of mistakes the last few years that we are paying fully for but if we go down with a fight, even if we are shit, then they're still our team.
-
No dissent whatsoever.
Why? Because the effort was there from each and one.
-
Football is a funny game. If you are at the bottom, fans want to see their team fight. If you are mid-table, fans want to see entertainment. If you are near the top, fans want to see their team win in any way they can.
-

There would have been dissent if the team had not performed - the general opinion from those around me seemed to be get behind them from the start and see what happens
-
I think our fans are smart enough to see that this manager is the most honest and erudite we have had in many years. That's there's no bullshit, he says it like it is and has slowly but surely mobilized the team with very few new resources to a side that is far more compact and resolute. We can get behind that as fans. That ultimately we are angry for him but that isn't going to do anyone any good now. The best thing is to follow the managers example and simply get behind the team to whatever the end is.
-
I do think if Lescott hadn't scored they'd have been booed off at HT as frustration were starting to set into the Holte, not that it matters much now.
-
With every single game I think you can see the effect remi has on the team there seems to be improvement in every player
"Remi gardes claret and blue army"
Just like the four tops song
"Don't walk away remi"
-

Not sure we would have booed this time PWS - frustrated but not too shit before we scored
If Narch had taken a couple of their half chances then it would have been very different!
