Too little, too late.  The term "sleepwalking to relegation" is often used, but in our case it definitely rings true.

There is the AVST AGM at VP on 21st January with T Fox  - I intend to be there but I am not sure what the hell I will say to him that would not be some sort of spluttering, strangulated howl of despair...

I am going to that meeting too WW - I honestly don't think Fox will turn up.

That scenario crossed my mind as well FFD

Why don't we do the "White hanky" thing they do in Spain?

Or maybe white flags seeing as the team have surrendered?

Wreaths laid at the MgGregor statue to mark the demise of a once proud and visionary football club?

We are in the worst possible state in recent history that we have ever been in, yet it seems to me that there was more of a fan uproar to McLeish coming in.

The fans definitely need to do something... even if it leads to nothing it will at least let us vent some of our frustration out on 'some' of the people responsible.

Why not nominate a game at VP to boycott?
An empty stadium might not achieve bugger all, but it will send a message that we actually do care. Care much more than the current custodians.
Can anyone imagine a properly run club like Arsenal being allowed to get into this state?

I'm not sure SVC is the right person to lead a protest.  For most of his time here he did a passable impersonation of the current rabble's half-arsedness. If you're gonna have an ex-Villa footballer as a figurehead, then choose somone,  erm, respected by the support

Not sure if Shaun Teale would be a better bet.

Charlton Fans are kicking off with protests aimed at their owners, time for the Villa fans to do the same.
We are a mess, time to demonstrate regardless ..

I still feel we should all stay silent when the players come onto the pitch at our next home match instead of the usual standing ovation - why should they get an ovation at all!!

SVC has at least got the excuse that he was suffering from a mental illness at the time.

As much as I dismissed this as a ruse at the time I've since had first hand experience of what that can do to a person.

I can see a pitch invasion and sit down protest at the Leicester Game for 10 minutes before half time being effective.
Then fans can empty the ground.
Remember the publicity at the Cup game last season against WBA when fans went on the pitch.

The BBC and media went ballistic.

Extreme, but look at the situation we are in...
