there are hundreds of non league clubs dotting around. 

None in easy striking distance of south Birmingham. It's something I have looked into. Blues, WBA and Villa are all easy to get to, I was just fortunate to be Villa. I have thought about getting into non-league on several occasions perhaps a club born out of the demise of AVFC might be the way forward.

Depends where you are in South Brum, I lived in Bartley Green for a while and even they had a team, Northfield and Halesowen were pretty close as well and have teams. There's probably more that I can't think of right now.

Can you imagine it? There'd be about six different clubs from this forum alone. More still from other forums we don't like. Then there'd be a load from non-forum-using Villa fans who can't agree on anything. We'd end up with about 30 iterations of Aston Villa. Knowing our luck, they'd all be shit.

Anything to rekindle my interest in football.  Everything about it at the moment I'm beginning to hate.

Have to disagree with this suggestion - the name "Aston Villa" needs to be rescued - we need to stay and fight to get it back.

As others have said we couldn't agree on a protest so what hope would we have putting a team out.

A club for people who walk away from something they love when the going gets tough?
No that doesn't appeal to me thanks.

As long as the name isn't too similar to FC United of Manchester, I like the idea.  Just "FC Aston Villa" or "The Villa FC" would be the kind of names I'd go for.  Something that doesn't echo what other clubs have done.

If you get the x-city line to VP just stay on it for a few more stops and go to watch Sutton Coldfield Town.  Nice little ground where you can drink your pint pitchside.

Not for me, I love Aston Villa, I just despise the cretins, fools and free loaders involved with the footballing side at the moment.

Me too.  Despite how bad things currently are, I love the club and still get a buzz from going to Villa Park on matchday.  I am just hoping that this is a temporary blip in our long history and that good times will soon be round the corner again.

There's plenty of clubs on the south side. Northfield Town have a good set-up and a decent clubhouse, Highgate and a few others along Tythe Barn Lane, plus a few such as Knowle, Hampton and Earlswood if you're near Solihull although you might need to drive to some of them as public transport is limited.

I wonder what would be the interest in a supporter-led new club? If you're fed up with watching the Villa and the associated drawbacks of modern football, start your own.

Not for me.  There is only one Aston Villa for me come what may.

See I'd still support Villa even if a non-league team was set up. It'd just be nice to have a team that hadn't had it soul ripped out by the footballing greed, and a team who might be competitive at their level.

At some point in the future Villa won't be as shit as this. 

Maybe Lerner will sell up to someone who has a clue how to run the football affairs of a football club.  Maybe our next manager will be someone who is capable of both inspiring a team, tactical competency, and the ability to develop players.

I'm hoping this will all start next season, or maybe the season after that, or hopefully during my lifetime.

There's plenty of non-league / lower league clubs to go and watch without forming another one.

However, if some multi-billionaire wants to buy Barcelona, rename the team and move them to a new stadium just off the M5; I'd be all in favour of that

General Krulak would be an ideal chairman.
