How would you have us illustrate our disgust at/after the final home game of the season? I'd plump for a 90 minute rendition from the Holte of " we were here, we were here, we were here when we were sh*t" and hope that it's loud enough to be heard in USA. When one day we rise from the ashes and opposing fans provoke us for being glory hunters, we can give them a reprise.
-
As protests go you can't beat a silent one. I saw it once in Northern Ireland. A Loyalist parade marching down a Catholic street with thousands of residents with their backs turned facing the shops in silence.
Imagine it as they come out for some lap and we've lost to Hull 40,000 people facing their seats in silence.
-
Let's try and stay up first and foremost
-
Difficult one as we still all want to get behind the 11 who wear the shirts come 3pm
How about walking down to the touchline and throwing your ST onto the pitch before the game ,you could also take an A4 sheet with Lerner out into the ground and throw that on as well ?
-
30k paper aeroplanes with Lerner out Lambert out on either wing all floated onto the pitch at kick off would look awesome and create a story.
-
This game requires vociferous support for the entire 90 minutes. Do whatever you will after the final whistle, and make it ugly. But then and only then. We're going to have to drag this shambles over the line first.

Safety first. Just a pity we won't have a home game after safety is assured.
-
Surely there won't be a lap after this shambles of a season?
-
Give it hell in any way you like up to when the teams come out, then for the 90+ full support, then I suggest at the end of the 90 mins even if we get a result, get the ground empty as quickly as possible (safely of course) and let Learner know that is the sort of crowds he will be getting next season if this carry's on.
-
Get the three points and then call for the manager and board's heads.

Yep I agree. No point playing a part in our relegation. Lets have the atmosphere we had in the win against Sunderland last year.
Its going to be bloody tense
-
The game's too important. Spur the players on, no booing if we're only 1-0 down or anything, just keep this going. We can protest all we want if we're safe, but until then we unite with the team. The situation is desperate.
-
We all need to get behind the team for 90 minutes regardless of what we think of Lerner & Lambert. None of us want to watching the Villa in the Championship next season do we?
-
It does make me laugh that we have supported them in the face of utter drivel at every home match this season and they are still crap but this match they will somehow respond?
I know nobody wants to feel it is their fault and be "small time" and all that but really it doesn't seem to matter what we do

Quite. If we booed our heads off solid for 90 mins to prompt the players to stick 2 fingers up to us by winning at all costs I think we'd all do it but as you say they probably wouldn't take a blind bit of notice. Not that I'm advocating this just making the point that yer modern day Aston Villa footballer doesn't give a toss about us.
-
In protest against Hull, I've gone through a 5Kg bag of Maris Piper potatoes and punched any of them that looked like Steve Bruce.
Looks like we're having mash tonight.
-
I honestly think you won't need an organised protest. Should they even dare to consider it appropriate to conduct a lap of honour at the end the protests will take care of themselves.

It's not really a lap of honour as such, more of a lap of appreciation from the players if anything. I can't see there being many left in the ground mind you.

I don't intend to be. If it is supposed to be so they can show their appreciation for our support then I don't want any part in it because I don't believe they do appreciate our support.

I was planning on taking my son to the match (10yrs) on Saturday but now the atmosphere is going to be so hostile (from me as much as anyone else more than likely) that I'm having second thoughts.
What should have been an end of season day out with the lad is now a ticket to the theatre of desperation.
Anyway, to contribute to the thread.
Burn the USA flag, then burn the Scottish flag, then burn the toast then burn baby burn disco inferno.
Aside from that I'm loving the idea of showing the team our backs during their pointless post match lap of total insignificance......
-
This should have been done ages ago but now Saturday. We have to get a win. Get 3 points then we can protest till our hearts are content. The priority against Hull is to win.

They don't appreciate it, that's for sure. Lerner and Faulkner take it for granted and complete plebs like Play Doh Ron Vlaar sulk when he doesn't get applauded after captaining us to our 20th defeat of the season.
****** the lot of them.

It's all part of the scheme.

Thirded.
-
How about we get behind the team rather than ensuring that the toxic cloud surrounding the club doesn't become even more noxious?
Calling for a protest at this critical stage - words fail me.
Support your club.
-
Drink varnish, it'll kill you but you'll have a lovely finish.

The best thing that could happen is for Lambert to be sacked before next week's game, other than that I can see the atmosphere being really hostile (and not in a good way). The team need total support, however, I think that if Lambert is still in charge then he's going to be the focal point for all of our suffering. I have a really bad feeling that this could be our last premier league home game for quite some time. If Lerner and co are still in charge then I think we could do a Wolves and drop through the divisions. Doomsday scenario I know, but Lerner, Faulkner and Lambert have proved to be clueless in everything to fo with the football side of Aston Villa. Bad times ahead I'm afraid!

Another in agreement and if by some miracle we beat Hull, I hope to God we don't chant "we are Premier League" because that would just be embarrassing.

Why don't we have a joint "sponsored swim" as a form of protest regarding both birmingham clubs...

we will piss it the noses hate water
-
The other factor is that Cardiff and Fulham are both playing at the same time. Unless Cardiff win today they will both be 4 points behind going into next weekend, if we see that they are losing we will know that even if we lose to Hull they won't be able to catch us. Of course, if they are both winning that will really increase the tension.

Have you recovered from all that fun yesterday?
-
I'm afraid whether it's vociferous support or bed sheets and paper planes it wil panic our delicate little flowers. Just act normal during the match then, win or lose, have a post match 'event'.
-
I am going to get behind the team for ninety minutes and then get out as soon as the final whistle goes. The last two season's laps of appreciation have been embarrassing and depressing.
-
I think when the whistle goes, win, lose or draw, I am just going to plug in my ipod and make my way to the pub as quickly as possible, I might tut a couple of times on the way out of the stand and if I am really riled up roll my eyes. A couple of pints of Guinness and everything will be fine.
-
I will give it full volume support for the full ninety then at the final whistle run on the pitch to the centre circle, tear off my clothes, jump up and down, lie on my back and scream and scream and scream. If time permits I shall do an encore including flailing my arms and legs about and foaming at the mouth.

Look on the bright side. We could all die. Bloody hell!
-
We could do a dirty sheet protest, I am sure we have shit enough sheets this season to make it impressive
-
All three 2nd city clubs have amassed a total of 114 points from 345 available this season.
-
Forget the protest it will have a negative effect. Just get behind the team until the game is over.
-
No point with a protest really. The one man you'd want to direct it most to will not be there, and it'll be no skin off his nose whatsoever.
We absolutely have to get behind the team for this game too. We have to get something out of it.
-

I know nobody wants to feel it is their fault and be "small time" and all that but really it doesn't seem to matter what we do
Have to agree with this as I don't think they give a damn, however I refuse to sink to their level and even contemplate not giving them 100% support DURING the game, whatever happens after so be it!
-
For gods sake everyone get behind the team from the minute you get to the ground no matter how it appears to be going whatever the score. Then the ONLY protest that will work next season (if the club is still owned by Learner) is not to go, don't renew your season tickets, don't buy the stuff from the club shop, don't support the team away from home. Protests such as marches and booing will do nothing. Hit Learner in his pocket and things will change
-
Surely a good protest will be everyone just leaving at the final whistle even if we win therefore cancelling the lap of appreciation.
Really who deserves to be applauded this season? We have been rubbish at VP and most of the players bar a couple of exceptions have been rubbish. Lambert will probably get booed aswell.
-

I've said before that this team, mainly due to age and lack of big game experience respond better to big noisy crowds. just a like a fourth division team playing away at a big ground in a Cup competition. That's exactly what we need next week. A Sunderland atmosphere from last season. Get us over the line and then just leave the ground. Don't wait around for the lap of 'appreciation' just go. Anger shows emotion which gives tacit acceptance to decisions made by the people making them. If everyone just effs off then it's sticking two fingers up at the lot of them from top to bottom. That's what they deserve.
-
Throw season tickets onto the pitch after the game. There will be a shower of them coming from all four stands! During the game support the team like hell, but at full time say what you like. Then leave

Well that's messed up my plans, I am definitely not going to miss that it will be the best entertainment of the season.
-
First things first, back the team, but i do fear for the whole thing if we concede, the dam will just burst, Bolton will seem like a tea-party in comparison, people have just had enough.
-
Great idea, we need a result, players are shite & have zero confidence, so let's kick off a protest. FFS
We need to stay up first, supporting the team for 90 mins next week is the only thing we can do that will help. For the first time ever I will not be hanging around at the end of Saturday's game.
Lambert is finished at Villa Park, whatever happens.
Lerner wants out, but we need to stay up first.
-
I couldn't blame anyone for giving the club/players/management abuse during this match. Villa fans have been supremely patient for a number of years now. Sometimes you need to raise your voice to be heard.

I agree. Those fuckwits who run, manage and play for us have left us in a situation whereby if we tell them what we really think during the Hull game then we'll be in some way responsible if they lose. Do nothing and it looks like we're meekly accepting the absolute shit they've flung our way in the last 2 seasons. I hope we beat Hull and guarantee our safety so that the fans have got 2 games left to really protest.
Whatever happens this season, the fans have been fantastic. Which is much more than the club deserve.
-
A mass performance of The Dying Fly off Tiswas would be appropriate.
-
How about this for a protest....30k remain in their seats after the game and as the players and management come out of the tunnel for their post match walkout...everyone just gets up and leaves.
Think that will accurately sum up our feelings on the "efforts" from this season.
-
A mass performance of The Dying Fly off Tiswas would be appropriate.
If we did that I would fear that half the people round by me would never get up again.
-
Leaving en mass won't have a visual effect due to time taken clearing the ground. All turning round in silence for the lap would though.
-
Let's all bring as many flags and scarves as possible, and make it an absolute wall of noise for 90 minutes. Get behind the team 110%.
Then all leave before the team come back out for their lap of appreciation.
Gives us as much chance of a win as possible, and gives the TV cameras something very visual as a protest.
-
Is everyone getting a free flag for the game? A scarf? 'Proud History, Fcuked Up Future'
-
Forget the protest it will have a negative effect. Just get behind the team until the game is over.
Like we normally do then...

Everyone should protest by buying the last issue of h&v

I'd say support the team for 90 mins and then leave.
An empty ground would say it all, not that I think any of he Board really care.
In truth, ST sales are the only way to get the message across that we've had enough.
-

This sounds like it. Put on a spectacle - a bit like Liverpool (spits) did today. All too often fans get the blame for not backing their team. They're an easy target when the chips are down. Don't give anybody an excuse to point the finger at us.

I believe the club are issuing free flags to celebrate the 'amazing' performance against Southampton. I so wish I had been at that game.

This a joke right?
The last time we had flags was against Bradford - but we won that so gimme a flag!
-
What this game needs is for every one of us to sing our hearts out for 90 minutes. what we have had to endure for the previous seasons has to be put aside just for this one game.
We all know that this team is shit and if we go down do you think the likes of benteke Delph vlaar etc will stay then where will be be.

This is a great idea but I'd go a step further. We should give it all, support-wise, until the final whistle then we should all leave in silence leaving nobody left in the ground for the walkabout.

Slow handclap was always a good protest at poor performances.

Seconded
Yes, yes, yes
-
Sorry I can't be there, I'll be somewhere over the Atlantic, when we pass over New York, I'll take a massive shit and flush hoping it lands on Lerner.
-
I'm a lapsed season ticket holder for the past 3 years, who along with my son now only make the trip up from Dorset for half the home games. I do find though that near the end of each of these desperate seasons I do make the effort to be at each home game. I booked 2 tickets after yesterdays game and will be in the Upper Holte with my son on Saturday to cheer on the Villa. No protest for me during the game, but it might be difficult to contain my anger at the situation if the result goes against us.
-
It's clear to me this will be a Bolton type reaction if we lose on Saturday. Maybe a draw aswell but that will probably be enough for safety as it will take Cardiff out of contention and surely Norwich with Chelsea winning today.
-

looking forward to seeing that one mate - any chance you can piss on the stewards who come to drag you off too?

best post so far!
-
My full support for the match itself but then I reserve the rights to give it both barrels when they do the lap of dis-honour. I am fed up with being in this position. Four years on the trot. Just not good enough.
-
I'm going to boo anyone who boos.
-

Do they all deserve to be booed? Every single one of them?
The team need supporting next weekend though we won't go down, they teams below need too much to happen.
-

Apart from Guzan and Delph, yes, I'd say.
The team need supporting next weekend
Totally agree with this. If there wasn't the serious chance of there still being more to play for, I'd be well up for shouting obscenities at them, but as it is, I don't think it'll help.
though we won't go down, they teams below need too much to happen.
If i had to bet either way, my money would be on us not going down, but that "the teams below us have too much to do" argument is one we've heard for about 2 months now, and every week, the amount they have to do to overhaul us has become less and less.

Agreed. Whatever we think of Lerner, Faulkner or Lambert, we need to get safe first, and then let them know what we think.
Relegation would a chatastrophe, and could consign us the wilderness for years.
-

Obviously this, we get enough stick for being hostile to our own team as it is.
-
I'm going to sit in my seat in silence and grow a beard until I look like Ronnie Drew.
-
I'm going to turn up and shout/sing/scream my left nut off for team, and possibly my right one too if we need it. Sometimes I turn up at games, often ones like these where we desperately need a result (Newcastle a few years ago, Bradford last season) not giving a toss about who's wearing the shirt or who's in the dugout. I love Aston Villa and us winning is all that matters.
-
We all need to get behind the team for 90 minutes regardless of what we think of Lerner & Lambert. None of us want to watching the Villa in the Championship next season do we?
Quite right. I find it amazing that some people say they'd rather go down to try and rebuild. Leeds went down 10 years ago, never returned. Sheffield Wednesday 14 years ago, never returned. Forest 15 years ago, never returned. Relegation is the LAST thing this club needs.

But none of them is the greatest club in the history of football. Villa, on the other hand, is.
Still, let's all go and roar them on to victory next week, and let's all try and talk our loudest, lapsed Villa mates into accompanying us.

Quite. With the squad we've got, if we got relegated I'd be more worried about us being relegated again than not getting back up at the first attempt.

And how many clubs came straight back up? The three you listed were all weighed down with outside debt, we're not.
-
im going to keep on repeating this till i leave essex on my 300 mile round trip to watch this football club i love so much.
sing your hearts out for 90 minutes no matter what you think or what has gone on before with players.
lets show match of the day and the whole footballing world the holte end is really " the 12th man"
and how about bringing back the balloons for this game us old codgers from the 70s will remember them was it southampton away in the 3rd round of the f.a. cup in 1976 that we started them, what a sight that was.
lets roar this team on to premiership safety so we can all say we did our bit.

I'm not going but If I was then I'd leave at full time, so when they come out there is no-one there. Or just take a banner showing the names of the players that you feel deserve some appreciation.
A piece of A4 just showing Guzan will do

No but we will be if we get relegated, Maybe not outside debt but I read if we do go down we could be in trouble
-
The cuts that have been made and the debts that have been written off should make us look like a financially viable PL club on the next set of accounts. Relegation would mean further cuts without a doubt.
-
Just go and cheer on your team as much as possible. If we are 2-0 after 60mins, carry on cheering the team. If we are 2-1 after 80mins it could mean the difference between us going down or staying up. I wont be staying for any laps of appreciation though.
-
If we lose, I am going to adopt the same facial expression I do when Asda deliver to the neighbours and the driver parks across our drive.
-
Get behind the lads for the full 90 minutes and then leave in silence.

I will be behind them right through. And if we win, i will struggle to stay silent, its going to be a fucking release of tension that as a Villa supporter you think we would get used to!
-
I don't think there's any real sense in a protest. We all know how bad things are and I'm pretty sure the club do too. We just need to hope with some home support they can get the result that's required against Hull.

A cauldron of noise is what we need we had it against Chelsea and look what happened we can roar this team on to victory I couldn't speak for 2 days after the Chelsea game.
Holte end the 12th man lets show everyone it certainly is, there is no better sight than a full villa park
Come on villa

We all need to get behind the team for 90 minutes regardless of what we think of Lerner & Lambert. None of us want to watching the Villa in the Championship next season do we?
Quite right. I find it amazing that some people say they'd rather go down to try and rebuild. Leeds went down 10 years ago, never returned. Sheffield Wednesday 14 years ago, never returned. Forest 15 years ago, never returned. Relegation is the LAST thing this club needs.
And how many clubs came straight back up? The three you listed were all weighed down with outside debt, we're not.
No but we will be if we get relegated, Maybe not outside debt but I read if we do go down we could be in trouble
We'd suffer from lost revenue, but we wouldn't go down owing tens of millions to HMRC, other clubs, businesses etc like Forest, Leeds and Sheff Weds did as all the major money we owe is to Randy. We'd only be in the real shit financially if Randy did us over. Which makes no sense for him to do.
-
SHA going down will significantly lift the atmosphere at the game given they're kicking off at 12.15pm. I presume their game will be on tv now so people will watch it in the pubs around VP and will be buoyant when they lose.
I'm all for anything that makes VP as less tense and edgy as possible pre kick off.
-
That's the thing even if we go behind the support has got to stick with them, not always easy but required on Saturday, mind you if if we are 3 or 4 down at anytime, then the poison will pour forth, after the game win lose or draw I hope someone at the club has the sense not to let them out for a lap of dishonor, especially if we lose, because there are still two games to go after this and as Jimmy use to say, Funny old game football.

Yep, good idea... And here are the lyrics for those that don't know it off by heart. Sing it loud.
-
"We've been going round in circles all year, doing this and that and getting nowhere."
How apt.
-
Blues will survive then we will lose.
-
Ive just seen that Norwich fans have voted 3rd choice goalkeeper Carlo Nash as player of the season.
To me that would be a terrific way of showing our disgust at our inept players. Shay Given as player of season for me.

Maybe we should have a pole between Shay Given and Alan Hutton to make sure we don't split the vote!
-
If we get the win that guarantees safety, I really don't want there to be celebrations.
It's nothing to celebrate. I'd happily boo the team off after winning. Something needs to change
-
After thinking about it. Vote for Hutton..
-
I'm going to do a dirty protest. However, I'll be in the living-room so the missus won't be happy.

while we are at it why dont we put a bulgarian and a romanian in there as well
-
ask not what your club can do for you!
if you can sing while your heart is breaking you'll be a man my son, and whats more "we aint going down!"
I BELIEVE
btw, how subtle was David Camerons were the only party that wants us in Europe, just as chelski were getting their no votes stamped 8)
-
If people feel the need to protest, FFS at least wait till the seasons over. The team (struggling as they are) need our support more than ever during these final 3 games . Rant over.
-
No need to protest, lets get behind the team and and hope they win. I suspect there will be a lot of change during the summer months.
-
Remind me what Hull are protesting about? Is it having to play us?
-
Anything happen then or was everyone just relieved we won and secured safety? What were the numbers like for the lap afterwards?
What needs to be clear is we need to significantly improve from the 6 home wins and 38 points average we seem to get nowadays from 38 game seasons.

Some people tutted loudly, it was mayhem.
-
I saw the Newcastle 69th minute protest this morning on MOTD. A few got up and left and a few stood up undecided whether to leave or not then sat back down again.
-
There was no protest. The Holte was actually in fine voice.
-
A lot more people stayed behind than I would have thought beforehand

They really are idiots up there. Half arsed protest against a half arsed regime. Useless.
