Seats on 7

No. They're starting to like the sound of their own voice.

Bit rude.

I think the protests have been very successful The banners especially was a huge effort which I'm very grateful for.

The banners had a point to them because it was visual and being on the telly it had an impact. With the new board in and a possibly a new manager soon, they need to take a step back. If it was just Tom Fox still there, then yes, fine. He's not, 4 or 5 people have come in and they still want people to protest. It's time (I feel) to give the board the chance to correct the mess we've been left in.

I agree.  I mean what exactly is there to protest about now?  Lerner wants to sell and I'm sure does not really need any speeding up to do so.  I'd rather everyone there was trying to create the best atmosphere we can and at least showing there are still some people with some pride left in the club.

I suspect most fans won't be so easily placated

The banners was great as well as it was a bit of a "fuck you" to the club after the banner shit at the Spurs game. I said at the time how much the behaviour of stewards pissed me off so I boycotted the Chelsea game in protest.

This one is crap though, been done before, we'll struggle to have 30K in the ground so will look shite as there will be so many empty seats any way. Just do another banner one or another walk out rather than trying to be clever and do a different one every game.

[VillaAlways]

I thought turn your back on 74 was a good idea as that could be looked on as a protest against the shitness of the players.

[Jimbo]

What's there to protest about? What is there not to protest about? I hope we raise all hell until this nightmare of a season is over. Whether sufficient numbers will be arsed to take part in this, I really don't know, but the banners/placards thing worked well. I think throwing towels on the pitch would be much better visually, and more symbolic of the club's lack of professionalism..

[Gregorys Boy]

I'm guessing the only thing to protest about now is trying to get Lerner out.  Which is funny because he wants out too. 

In fairness the board are now making steps to correct the past, too little too late of course.  The next protest should be when we appoint Ian Holloway as our new manager

[CT]

The problem with this is you'll have missed two goals before you get in.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Get in early in order to boo the shithouses on to the pitch.

[Nelly]

This might be one of the only chances to visually and hopefully iconically show our displeasure at Villa's impending relegation. Anyone who wants to protest that shocking state of affairs has every right to in my book. Also, fair play for actually getting up and starting something. Everyone has ideas, doing it is something else.

I agree and you're right, it's too late but it's a start and it's not as if they're sitting on their hands doing nothing.

Any other protest should now maybe be against the players. Maybe letting them do their 'lap of honour' in front of a virtually empty stadium after the Newcastle game might be a good idea although I wouldn't think anyone would want to applaud them anyway.

[Legion]

I would very much doubt if that took place.

[ChicagoLion]

I think any Villa fans that are still prepared to attend matches should be treated with respect.
if some of them want to protest then so be it. I don't see why they are being criticised.

[VillaAlways]

I thought the lap of appreciation was for the supporters not the players, they should be forced to do it by the board the shit we've put up with.

[not3bad]

This season has been an utter farce and I see no reason to let anyone off the hook for the last few games.
